Jacobs vs JWP.... u serious?

[poondaddy]

quote kingwaa "oh and sor. ian is making a comeback and has challenged the one and only gunslinger john wayne parr. this is not the thread to be discussing it, and thats pretty much all the info i have on it at this stage anyway."

Just read this and thought... no figgin way. First fight back after how many years, and wanna take on the gunslinger, GOOD LUCK!!!

[warriorxxx]

yer iv heard a rumour about this to..if ur guna make a come back mose well make it a good one nd challenge the best i spose..

[Hellfighter]

what is "sor. ian"?

[poondaddy]

*sorry

I just cut and pasted it from the no contest amature thread. It's not a letter of the Thai alphabet if thats what you mean ;)

[scottya]

Heard this too
But Ian size he would be better off taken on Carnage

Ive seen Ian on the bag & still looks to have the goods
But saying this & hope no one takes it the wrong way hitting a bag & person is two different things

But heard Isn still got it & got a nasty ELBOW now too

[poondaddy]

I think you hit the nail on the head there Scotty... there's a big difference between a bag and a living breathing JWP in front of a massive crowd!

[LXXIX]

good luck to him.... why not whats he got to loose from it

[scottya]

Wasnt Ian at his best at Super Middleweight to Light Heavyweight


Maybe make it a worth while come back & take on two of QLD best which ever way Ian dose would be up to him
Gain weight to fight Carnage first then drop down to 72.5kgs to fight JWP

OR make it that extra bit worth while & take on 3 of AUS best
Carnage
Boom Boom
JWP

If Ian makes a come back im all for it
26 fights - 24 wins, 16 KO's
9 title Ian made a name for him self

[poondaddy]

Very different times back then...

Other than a good pay day, cant see much in it for JWP either.

[Voice]

good luck to him.... why not whats he got to loose from it

let me see...
reputation as a great and smart fighter who retired at the right time.
I hope he doesn't do this, especially against JWP as it is only going to end one way.
Where is Jedi, sure he can shed some light on this.

[supermario]

In no way, shape or form should Ian fight Carnage. Much too heavy. I think he can cut to 72kg and fight JWP, or JWP can move up to super-middlweight for this fight. The thing is, why? Ian has nothing to prove. JWP is to aussie Muay Thai what Ian was to aussie kickboxing back in the mid 90's. I don't think it would end well for Ian, but he has proven people wrong before. All speculation at this stage anyway.

[scottya]

I can see why Ian would may want to come back
He would be doing round with Preacher,Shaggy,Nathan Briggs,Danny the MMA fighter & CO

And sooner or later they would like to see how they go with Ian & the other way around

And if Ian is holding his ground with them it could make you think you have one or maybe more fights in you

If not it ould be a nice pay day for both fighters

But JWP move up in weight again for a fight i could question that
He did it for a MMA fight for the money

But this isnt just about a fight & the money it could risk a loss on his record nothing wrong with that in one way
But to be true to JWP and if Ian wants to fight JWP fight him at his best weight 72 to 72.5kgs FTR
No need for JWP to move up in weight

[babyface]

i am a major fan of Ian Jacobs if he still has the goods why not take on the best and see how he goes.......... would love to see him back in the ring...

[Voice]

maybe that might bring back Gurkan for a rematch...lol

[poondaddy]

Does anyone know when/who his last fight was with? I've tried havin a bit of a look around with no luck.

[blackbouncer]

I believe is last fight was around 2000/01 @ movieworld in the gold cost. It was a tarik solak show. Correct me if im wrong i think it was against Aaron Boyse.

[wildaction]

What age is Ian Jacobs these days ??

Stu

[kingwaa]

i think 2 issues ago in IKM ian was voted by readers as the come back they would most like to see so how about we get behind it. Im sure Ian just wants to challenge himself. Carnage is way to big as Ian is walking around at 82kg just starting to get fit. He is hitting more than the bag as he has shaggy, preacher, keogh, chris haseman, emillio shmit, andrew banham nathan briggs and niewand as sparring partners to name a few.

[no contest]

i was holding pads for ian for his last fight against frenchman YOHAN GOUAIDA.

i have never trained with a tougher fighter.
if ian does make the comeback to muaythai i am 100% sure he could mix it with todays best.

why wouldnt jwp want to fight ian , the only man standing in front of jwp for being the best fighter EVER to come out of australia is IAN JACOBS.

good way to be crowned AUSTRALIAS BEST EVER FIGHTER .

im all for it , the sport loves a good comeback .
and why not from one of the best .

[poondaddy]

I think a comeback would be great, and it would be awesome to see him in the ring in a different era. Your right, everyone loves a comeback. Ian did wonders for the sport in Oz, but to say that he is "standing in front of him", well I have to disagree. How did he go internationally (and by that, I mean on the WORLD stage, not fighting someone like Yohan on home soil)?
In comparison, you have JWP, who's world wide reputation speaks for itself.
Maybe Ian should make a more well mapped out return, climbing up the ladder before trying to jump straight up the top of it... for his own benefit.

[The Old Man]

no contest - you are right Ian's last fight was at Chandler - also Scott Bannan fought Lenard Sipolek that night. I was being trained by Scott at the time and we ended up doing some training with Ian and he is a machine. It was a good night for the Powerhouse boys as we all won via KO. Ian is now 38 (same as me) and i am sure if wants to fight then there would be no question of him being able to fight our best fighters.
Scotty Ward - it has been quite awhile, how are you going? sorry i could not make it to the show but i will be able to get to the Corparate Box Fight Night.
Darren Freiberg (Cannon's pad holder)

[Rico]

How about Ian vs Eli....

Ian is an old time legend and Eli is climbing his way up the lader. (This is assuming he will not fight Preacher since they train together)

[spano]

not a bad idea rico, see how he goes against eli first, if he dont make it thru eli then no use takin on parr! but takin on jdubya with 4 times the amounts of fights its a bit crazy but if use reakon his stil got it...then why no im all for it!

[no contest]

the old man (daz)
im good mate , long time no see,

it will be good to catch up and the corporate box show .

poondaddy

im not saying personally that ian is the only thing standing in front of jwp for being the best thing from oz .
its just what the fans think .
jwp has been the biggest thing since the hills hoist to come from our shores in muay thai no doubt .imho

but they are still saying ian is the best pound for pound KICKBOXER australias produced .
so why not be the best MUAY THAI / KICKBOXER ever.

if jwp and ian fight then no one will need to ask if old was better than new . fantasy match up style
this could be a reality kickboxing's best v muaythai's best.

under whatever rules and the right preperation it would be a great fight .

[witt]

spose K1 rules would be closest to merging the two styles? or you could have best out of 3, first fight MT 2nd fight KB third fight thumbwar :P

[spano]

haha yea true but why not stay on top cause it really aint fair on ian cause there is a huge age factor an not to mention alot of ring rust, im not sayin dont fight wayne cause jdubya is my trainer an he is the man an his on top but..... im jus sayin have some pre fights to get rid of the ring rust an see how he mixes it up with a few top fighters in the top 10 at middle weight an watever weight he wants! i say good on ya ian for makin a come back ive never seen u fight but wud love to see it!!

[poondaddy]

I think you've got a point there no contest about the fantasy match up thing. Just dont think as Ian's first fight out it'll be that crash hot. Ring rust, nerves, would make for a VERY scrappy contest.

My prediction is in round 1, Ian coming out all guns blazing due to nerves and typical KB styles, maybe landing a couple of big shots, then JWP finds range, and KO's Ian, BIG styles! We'll have to wait and see...

[scottya]

Fight Eli it would be a OK pay day for both fighters

Fight JWP with the right marketing tools & they both could walk away with a nice pay day

[JWP]

Hey Guys,
This fight is not going to happen in a hurry. I have fights booked here and overseas into mid next year.
All the best with his come back.

[scottya]

Thanks JWP
But to put a end to all talk
If the weight,money & rules were right would you step into the ring ?

3 big IF's there i know

[JWP]

Without being rude, no. What do I have to gain from it???
Ian was famous in the early/mid 90's as a Kickboxer. When he fought Ozkan I was living in Thailand fighting at Lumpinee and taking on the Orono's of the sport.
I wish Ian well in his come back, get a few fights and work up the ladder to get the fans excited.
Ian needs to fight me for the big money, I dont need to fight him as I have plenty of offers from all over the world against current world champions. Its sort of going backwards, I respect what Ian has done but end of the day he has had 26 fights and hasnt fought in 6-7 years. I took the hard road to get where I am now living away from my country and getting my ass handed to me by Thai's for 4 years, why should Ian get to jump the que to get what I have??

[kingwaa]

Of course im sure ian will have a couple of fights first he respects JWP s ability more than that so the timing will work out perfect for late next year as JWP is already booked for early to mid next year. This could be the best thing for kick boxing/ muay thai ever.

[scottya]

Cheers JWP
Well that puts JWP out of the picture for a while
So if Ian did what JWP has posted and work his way up the ranking who could he fight ?
Preacher,Shaggy,Eli,Andrew KO would be all out of the picture They all train together (beside Eli) & Eli has backing from Scott ward & no contest so there out

Would there be any local or named fighters in OZ keen to fight Ian ?

Would be good to see Ian back in the ring

Straight from the horses mouth, and probably what the casual observer was thinking anyway.

Maybe do a Fenech and tee up a fight with someone of the same stature like Scotty Bannan or some other gun retiree and see what happens from there.

[Q]

May be not a fight against JWP but I really hope Jacobs makes a comeback, 38 is not really that old and he has always looked pretty fit, maybe if he was fighting up until now 38 would be a tired body but he has had 7 odd years off. Look at Randy cultour (spelling) in the UFC what is he 46, how many conventional boxers are still going well into their mid 30's.

I say good luck to The Australian Van Dam and I look forward to seeing him back.

Who knows this could spur on a heap of classic comebacks, Tony Hill, Anthony Vella, Paul Briggs (opponant for Carnage) Scotty Bannon the list goes on.

[harls]

I think to call out JWP first off would be a little optimistic to say the least. Ian's last comeback on Tarik's shows a few years back displayed a hell of alot of ring rust and he clearly wasn't the same fighter, he lost alot of his speed and timing. He would definitely need quite a few warm up fights first, but as JWP stated " why should Ian get to jump the que to get what I have??" I couldn't agree more, there are many more guys out there that are busting their asses that deserve a chance before Ian.

No offence to Ian but that's my opinion on the topic.

[kingwaa]

well I guess what the point is, the fans would like to see it and i guess Ians point is, why have a come back fight if it's not with the best???

let's put it to the fans and have a vote.

[scottya]

Dosent matter what the fans say if JWP say's no it not going to happen

[JWP]

Ha ha ha, Go kingwaa ;).
Guess you didnt read my post.

[witt]

concept was definitely a bit ambitious... good way to let people know you're on a comeback trail though, even if you know it wont happen. make some noise and people will start to take notice.
but do we really think he's on a serious comeback trail? or did he just want to jump back in the ring again a few more times before he *really* reaches that age where it's not going to happen?

[Aaron Kerr]

I thinks it's great Ian is concidering making a comeback, but not against JWP first up.

Excuse my memory lapse, but did Ian ever fight with elbows? I can only remember him fighting Kickboxing rules. The reason I ask, is that if Ian was to challenge Wayne, surely it would be only fair to challenge JWP in his preferred style (full thai rules).

All the best in his comeback.

[ford]

I don't want to see it.As harls stated,Ian looked terrible in his last fight.
There is also no reason for Wayne to take this fight at all.

[souljah]

you got to start at the bottom and work your way up even if he was a good fighter its been 6 years after all the sport has changed alot but good luck to him

[Bevan7]

some people on here are living in the 90's
Ian was great in his day....one of the best
a match up with Ian and JWP both in there prime would be fantastic but it not possible
his last fight was 6-7 years ago and it wasn't great
maybe a rematch with Gurkan

Ian Jacobs would have to fight JWP under Full Muay Thai. JWP is the best "P4P" fighter today, and will be for a number of years after he retires.

Kickboxing is yesteryear cannot believe the sport escalated as high as it did in the 80's and 90's. Today if you want to be recognized you fight with knees, K-1 rules, Japan. But, if you want respect you fight with elbows, Muay Thai, Thailand.

Ian is a muscular 82kg man. I think his ideal division would be Super Middle Weight.

I'm big fan of Ian. For many years only read about him and his achievements in the Blitz Magazine and International Kickboxer(non gloss pages). To meet him in person this September, was pretty cool but forgot to get a photo.

-----

Wish Ian the best of luck for his comeback.

I would like to add I will fight Ian "Powerhouse" Jacobs, if he's looking for opponents in the near future. Under 75kg Muay Thai or K-1 Rules.

ok Kingy, if the fans want it, WHICH PROMOTER will put up the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, and no one including you has said under what rules ? Is Ian on the same band wagon as the Corporate Box Publicity Machine to take on the BEST under the BEST'S rules ??

I think Voice hit it on the head, he'd get a better payday fighting Gurkan here in Melbourne so all the Turks can come out of their hibernation..;)

[supermario]

I think, in terms of local matchups, this would be much bigger than JWP vs Preacher, purely because of name value. Different eras, both legends.

[Dynamite Drew]

just a dream match or someone spit balling

jacobs was a kickboxer not a thai boxer to start with

2nd , i think its just someone dreaming out loud ,no other opponents in aust for jwp at his level and weight so start a rumour about a jacobs comeback so jwp will fight in aust and not overseas


so very sad if true thou , sad that he cant accept that he had his time and just have to come back and try and get some more, mainly for his ego or a quick buck

these always ends up the same - a sad pathetic loss

I am sure a few are lining up and waiting for you to make a comeback[}:)][}:)][}:)]
You would have to be one of the lowest forms on this forum. Nothin but a sad sack.

[Bevan7]

I think DD hit the nail right on the head

Upacut did you see Jacobs last comeback fight.....He stated prior to the fight that he had only been fighting at about 70-80%(or something like that)and this comeback was going to see him show the public Ian Jacobs @ 100%.

He looked in physically good shape but not a patch on his former self as a fighter.. and this was years ago

If he proves me wrong then I'll stand corrected

[Steve]

Ian WILL be fighting again!!!!!!!!!!

Where - Brisbane

Event - The Ultimate Event

Date - March 7th 2009

Who - ????????????????

[JediJacobs]

hey voice!! yes I do have a fair bit of knowledge on this as I've spoken to Ian pretty extensively about the game...

Firstly, Ian is very fit and if you talk to the boys i.e. shaggy, KO, Preacher and alike I have no doubt they would gladly tell you a short story about a man who has not only great prowess in the ring, and a wide knowledge and ability to apply techniques, but who is a juggernaut of power and still very much the powerhouse... Ian is a very rounded fighter with his own style and to label him as a kickboxer no more, no less would be a real shame..

Ian would certainly love to fight JWP, Who wouldn't!! From what I've gathered from my obs from the situation is that there is a definite understanding that JWP has a lot to lose and only some dosh to gain, where as Ian can gain everything!! It's like going double or nothing really...I would love to see my uncle fighting again as I see him in the ring with the boys and it's very natural, but that fact must be appreciated!

Ian definitely wants to get the 'ULTIMATE EVENT' going next march, and the plans for said ultimate event are very exciting...I'm not the right person to start blowing steam about this event though as my details are all very unofficial and could change, closer to the date i'll be able to be more capable of comprehensive info though...

I'd love to see this happen because as he said to gurkan, i'm sure he would rather die than defeat and battles are always more exciting!! but still, there is the weight issue at present and the isse of the who's who will actually jump in the ring with him...poor bastard who does i recon though...

jedi

[JediJacobs]

haha, i honestly didn't think this would make it on here for a little while longer...I'm actually out in western queensland roughing it out working on the gas lines out here atm, so won't be really checking this place often at all sadly. There are a couple of Am boxers out here though working which is making it fun to keep limber!! gotta love a little glovin' up!!!

[sniper]

what weight is he now jedijacobs??

[Bevan7]

You interested Sniper?

[sniper]

i respect the guy so so much and he was brilliant to me when i fought his boy emilio schmidt in feb this year on the undercard to dawson vs zambidis. if the $$$$$$ were right and weight set on i would love to be able to say that i fought him though. win or lose it would be an experience i would love to have if nobody else will jump in the ring with him. i have never been one to shy away from a fight because someone is better than me so i will gladly take it if no one else will. gone are the days though where i fight boys out of my weight division though.

[scottya]

Odd people are bring up if the fans want it to happen.......................

If JWP say's NO its not going to happen

[Bevan7]

sounds like sniper is saying Yes

[alias]

And he's the second. Ngakau Spain just said he would as well. Another fighter could be Warren Elson, who just came out of retirement to put on a great performance on sat nite, albeit against a late replacement. Two very different styles, but if Ian wants to fight muay thai, I for one would like to see him fight Wazza. Same weight and both in Qld as well (not sure if the politics would prevent it from happening though).

But Sniper would also be a great fight! Would you want to fight muaythai rules Sniper?

[climax warrior]

Yeah well...I think I would be a better choice for Ian as a warm up that is, before he fights the bigger names such as Wazza, Boom Boom, Sniper, Charles August. Oh Choppa would be a good fight!

I know, I know...you haters don't need to write a thing. I'll write it myself,"STFU you'll get your arse handed to you Mr Volcano!"

I'll have 99.9% chance of losing. But there's hope yet. I'll use the remaining 0.1% to train my f$%king 91kg ass off! Bangkok, Thailand.

The only set back is, there is only enough room for one good looking fighter in the ring! and it's me, me and ME!

[sniper]

hehehehehehehehe funny thing you jumped on here ngakau. i just had the old video tapes of when i fought you in that sanchou tournament in wellington all those years ago and of course the ring karate fight up in gisbourne. bloody hell u have put on a few kgs since then if u are indeed 91kg hehehehe.

[Voice]

if I didn't know better I am thinking there are a couple wiley old foxes on here 'volunteering' to fight the Golden boy because they expect to give him a hiding.
I don't disagree...being a current pro with 40+ fights under your belt is only going to end one way for someone who has been out of the ring for years IMO.

[BMT]

Hehehehehe[:I]

[Voice]

Sniper vs Jacobs sounds like a fair matchup in the ring then...plenty of controversy and heresay and with on even playing field.

[poondaddy]

What rules would you go for Sniper? K1, KB, MT??

[sniper]

KB my first choice buddy. only had 1 proper muay thai fight but that only went into the first round so i did not get to throw many elbows. i was owned in the grapple for the mod thai fight i had prior to that.

Oh yeah...how can I forget. I got seriously owned both times...hahaha LMAO

I have packed it on, Bro. No man boobs, No bad acne, No sudden bouts of rage, which means No Steroids.

It's the freakin Creatine man! Local GP told me to get off the stuff as my kidneys ain't functioning properly. Apparently, he says Polynesians produce more than enough Creatinine naturally. Got half a tub left so I'm gonna finish it. Only need one kidney to live right?;)

So yeah, the deal is get big 'n strong and start cutting while training n fighting in Thailand.

Hope, Powerhouse takes up your offer that would be an epic bout under KB rules or even K1 rules.

Remember where your from, bro! Stay black!

[supermario]

Ian Jacobs vs Headhunter would be cool, two awesome kickers. I know Sniper beat Headhunter 3x, but this would be sweet too.

[JediJacobs]

I'm back in brisbane because of the storms out west, yippee, which meant I was able to have a big chat with Ian again. Sniper, if you're keen mate, in contact with Ian or he may contact you. I told him that you were interested and a smile came across his face in a flattered and excited way..If it's on, it's on...I guess...

He also asked me if I could put up here a little something about why he wishes to fight JWP. Ian see's it as a fight a lot of people would love to see, and hence a fight that promoted correctly, would create a very profitable show business wise. For those who do not know, Bill Jacobs, my granfather, and Ian's Father, Has been diagnosed with Terminal cancer recently and has cancer heavily throughout his entire body. Ian wished for this fight to get his SAFE program established and for some remuneration to help look after his father in these late stages of his life..

Ian had hoped also that JWP would be sympathetic to the cause and maybe even seen the benefit of somehow making the show a charity event, considering The gunslinger recently experienced first hand the unfortunate circumstance of losing a family member.

Ian also strongly believes in his ability to put up a fantastic fight and considers himself a genuine Threat to the JWP throne. All in all there is only one man who can make this happen...

[JWP]

Cancer is the worst thing anyone could go through and I wouldnt wish it on anybody. I am sorry to hear about Ian's Dad and hope Bill managers the best he can with what life has thrown at him.

But,
I have only just been through the trauma of death of my father and think its sick that you use my fathers tragedy to try and intice me into fighting. Ian hasnt fought in 6-7 years and only had 26 fights and only wants to fight me to make money off my name and get his Safe programme off the ground. I have told Ian on the phone twice I am booked and I am not the person he is after, his response was "thats ok, I will still challenge you so I can get some media attention so I can get SAFE out there".
Whatever respect I had for Ian in the past is gone.

[imported_n/a]

I am absolutely dumbstruck at this pathetic effort to promote Jacobs. How dare you bring into account the cancer issue and stir up all the emotions and heartache JWP has been through as some sort of reason he should fight. What a low, low act.

Jedi, let me quote two things you said so we can see the real motives of Ian.
quote:Ian had hoped also that JWP....making the show a charity event
quote:Ian wished for this fight to get his SAFE program established and for some remuneration to help look after his father
So the charity would be Ians pocket???

Bill, I wish you all the best in this illness.

[JediJacobs]

guys, i was the messenger, I have no intention of being rude or disrespectful. This is what I've been told.

JWP, I meant no offense.

[imported_n/a]

Well message back to uncy ian that JWP aint his cash cow. And can he please stop telling people the fight is on, cause it aint. Stop using JWPs name to promote himself.

[Hellfighter]

JediJacobs, don't do it for Russ... do it for yourself mate, because there are more than JWP & Russ on this forum that feel it's a low act and you chose to be the messenger

that being said, why didn't Ian come on here himself and make the challenge?

[kingwaa]

tough one. i think that can be read out of context probably not how it was taken. I suppose anything for charity these days is needed obviously with hard times ahead for the world.

no, i think it read perfectly as intended and the response was met in kind. Hopefully that is that.

[ChrisQ]

Thought this thread would be over by now. JWP has said no, end of story?

[imported_n/a]

The post basically says Ian wants to make money to help his father. Nothing wrong with that. So JWP says no, there are still many of us would like to see Ian fight again, for interest's sake. So good luck to Ian in finding an opponent, and good luck making some money with the promotion too.

Hello everyone,

I am Ian Jacobs writing this.

First thing first: I deeply apologies to you Wayne and family, I would never intentionally disrespect you your family or your father, God bless his soul.

This whole thing is all a miss communicated situation that was 100% my fault for not explaining properly what I wanted typed and for not proof reading. I have waited until JWP’s fight was over incase this was taken the wrong way as the first one was.
I also apologies to my nephew Luke JediJacobs for pushing him to write the story on blitz about the reasons why I am fighting again. He said it would be disrespectful if he wrote the full story and I said he had to let everyone know why I’m fighting again, meaning only about my side, my family and my situations but I didn’t explain that properly at all. I was in a hurry and just thought he knew what I meant. I was too busy to proof read it and now have learnt a huge lesson.
