Summary:JACOBS' JOY: Daniel Jacobs, the promising super middleweight prospect from Brooklyn, managed to be present for the birth of his first child, a son named Nathaniel Christopher Jacobs, at Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn before flying to Las Vegas for his match on the undercard of the Oscar De La Hoya-Manny Pacquiao card at the MGM Grand last night. Jacobs (12-0, 11 KOs) fought Victor Lares (14-3, 3 KOs) in the opening bout. . . . Freddie Roach, Pacquiao's trainer, tried to get inside De La Hoya's head just a little more when he complained to the Nevada commission about the size and type of tape that was being used to wrap De La Hoya's hands. Roach said the rules call for boxers to use one-inch white tape over the gauze and between the knuckles and that De la Hoya has been using two-inch brown tape. Roach said De La Hoya uses the tape for extra protection of his fragile hands. The Nevada commission ruled that De La Hoya could use the brown tape, but had to cut it into one-inch strips.
