Daniel Jacobs vs. Sergio Mora 2: Fight Time, Date, Live Stream and TV Info

When Daniel Jacobs and Sergio Mora meet in the ring for the second time on Friday, September 9, at the Santander Arena in Reading, Pennsylvania, both men should feel like they have unfinished business to take care of.

Jacobs, the WBA middleweight champion, won the first meeting in August 2015 after Mora injured his ankle falling on a second-round knockdown and couldn't continue the fight. It was scored as Jacobs' second knockdown of the brief bout, but there was potentially something in this for Mora, who scored a rare knockdown of his own in the first round and looked to have slipped in the second round.

While Jacobs is the clear favorite, Mora—a former titleholder at 154 pounds—has something to prove in this one. Jacobs' belt is on the line, after all, and Mora should be eager to show that his burst of success in the first meeting was no fluke. 

Jacobs will be out looking to prove just the opposite—that his quick trip to the canvas was nothing more than a blip on the way to bigger and better things. 

The fight headlines the Premier Boxing Champions card on Spike TV, with the broadcast set for 9 p.m. ET/PT. Live-streaming will be on Spike.com.

When Jacobs sent Mora sprawling to the canvas a year ago, hardly anyone could count themselves surprised. 

Jacobs, 29, has established himself as a knockout artist. Since losing to Dmitry Pirog in 2010, he has put together an 11-fight stoppage streak, with the latest and perhaps most impressive conquest a first-round TKO of Peter Quillin in December in the battle of Brooklyn-born punchers.

Most of the fights in this stretch have been brutish and short, with Caleb Truax the only boxer to last longer than five rounds with Jacobs.

As for Mora's knockdown of Jacobs, which came just seconds after receiving his own eight count, it was quite the shock, both for the titleholder and those watching the match.

The Latin Snake has never been one for finishing fights early, with just nine KOs in his career and the most recent coming against unheralded fighters like Samuel Rogers and Milton Nunez. He's confident his boxing skills are enough to trouble the champ.

"I don’t think Jacobs wanted this rematch, but it was destined to happen and now he has to deal with it,” the 35-year-old said, per the Miami Herald's Santos A. Perez. “I thought the first fight was going my way. I knocked him down in the first round and was out-boxing him in the second round."

Lest hubris get the better of him, Jacobs is unlikely to again put himself in a position where Mora can send him tumbling to the mat.

The Miracle Man has worked too hard in his career and overcome too much (his battles with osteosarcoma are well documented) to let an aging Mora derail him at this point.

He's looking to end any argument that Mora might've been on his way to beating him a year ago, per Perez:

"

This is business for me but it also more personal than any fight I have ever had.

Sergio has been using these antics online to get this rematch and he has gotten under my skin. There has been a lot of back-and-forth as far as people’s opinions as to who would have won the fight had he not gotten hurt.

"

Jacobs also has his sights set on eventually taking on Gennady Golovkin, who owns the WBA super middleweight title and is widely regarded as one of the top fighters in the sport today.

“We called out Triple G months ago,” Jacobs said of Golovkin, per PremierBoxingChampions.com's Lem Satterfield. “I truly want that fight, if not by the end of the year then definitely sometime next year. So we’ll continue to build our brand, and then we’ll see what the future holds. But I’m sure we can make [a Golovkin fight] happen. It’s a fight I believe I can be the victor in.”

Their schedules should match up at some point, as Golovkin takes on Kell Brook in a middleweight title bout on Saturday. While fans are clamoring for the Kazakh to step into the ring with Canelo Alvarez, Jacobs would represent a fine challenge, sporting a far better resume than many of the Triple G's battered opponents. 

Mora might not represent quite the tune-up Jacobs needs for that potential fight, considering his age, lack of power and declining skill set. As long as Jacobs stays mentally sharp in the ring, he has no real reason to fear Mora's power.

It may take a few rounds against a wily veteran, but Jacobs should be able to work his way in close, string together some power punches and finish the match early and on his own terms. 

Prediction: Jacobs wins by KO in seven
