In November 2020, Jacobs was promoted to the super-middleweight against the hob meat Rosado, and the result was that Rosado's performance exceeded expectations, better than Jacobs, and finally gave a controversial draw, which exposed Jacobs's unfitness to fight in the 168 pounds. After a 14-month break, Jacobs stepped into the boxing ring again, the opponent Leder was 33 years old, only 1 meter 75 tall, the most famous battle before that was a controversial loss to former boxing champion Smith, facing Jacobs, many people are not optimistic.

After losing the game, Jacobs had to consider whether it was necessary to continue his career.
