Need Jakob vs Kerr in steel cage match

[@RunNickRun1]

Kerr would literally kill him 🤣

[@ZATHURAKEY]

Waste of time

[@trevorturner8037]

I feel like kerr would obliterate him. he looks like more of a fighter😂

[@ZATHURAKEY]

Jacob would be much faster , he would punch Kerr in the face 10 times before Kerr got in 1 punch

[@solomonhiggins4576]

Nah I wanted to see Josh go off on Jacob people are too sensitive. Keep the smack talk up so we can see them battle it out on the track even harder

[@ZATHURAKEY]

I think "no comment" was great . I think Josh realized he started all the smack talk awhile ago and it's now time to move on and let his feet do the talking .

[@tahjwilson5475]

Go off for what? He's beaten him every time when it mattered so there's no need to respond lmao.

[@ZATHURAKEY]

@@tahjwilson5475 exactly Jacob has beaten Kerr every time it mattered except once , the WC 1500 last year

[@tahjwilson5475]

@ZATHURAKEY Understandable but Jakob hasn't won a single 1500m world title since Tokyo. He's been getting beaten every time. He might be the best athlete over the distance but he isn't #1 contender.

[@ZATHURAKEY]

@@tahjwilson5475 yes, but he has finished second in both 1500m finals and golds in the 5000 both years along with 1500m toyoko Gold ..... no other runner , not Kerr ,not Whitman , not one other person in the world is even close to Jacob's performances over the last 6 and 1/2 years ... no body. Oh , let's not forget his three diamond league championships and 12 European Championships . Does Kerr or Whiteman have championship titles like these ???

[@MichaelJohnson-wk8tk]

No comment was a very mature way of handling such a stupid question!

[@MrZcrook]

Maybe it's the comment and not the question that's stupid, and so unnecessary. More often than not, Jacoff comes across as an insecure school yard braggart. Why not just let your results speak for themselves and keep the rest to yourself?

[@matthewnewnham-runner-writer]

"No comment." - hilarious. Nicely played by Josh. We're all rooting for him, within his/our Edinburgh Athletics Club, across Scotland and the UK and beyond.

[@RUNISFAST]

JAKOB JUST WATING FOR 1500M TITLE THIS TIME HES NOT GOING TO SAY EASY BUT SUPER EASY

[@ryankburrell3895]

We’ll see if he even wins.

[@ed_gaa6289]

THE LABELS FOR QUESTIONS AND ATHLETES THANK YOU CITIUS FOR CONTINUING TO STEP UP

[@sailshane]

Looking forward to Jacob bring home another gold.

[@optimistic7898]

Jakob is right. He is the GOAT. He would have won that race blindfolded. And Jakob is going to do 1500&5000m double in Paris this year. Just wait and watch 🎉

[@solomonhiggins4576]

Well that’s not what happened last year or the year before that bozo. Stop glazing he’s not even close to a goat

[@champfn1765]

he couldnt even win without a blindfold in budapest mate

[@ryankburrell3895]

I would be shocked if Jakob wins any golds in Paris given the talent on Josh Kerr and other athletes at this time, especially given that Jakob is injured and hasn’t raced at all yet.

[@tomw4322]

Jakob knows the Brits are back, his mind games are desperate

[@joelmacinnes2391]

@@champfn1765 remember, Kerr was the one with his eyes covered!

[@alby576]

Right answer, too much gossiping already.

[@fergusdenoon1255]

That's really disrespectful, "one of the worst in the world" how dare he! I can easily run a way worse 5k than Josh.

[@runningshoeguy]

Jakob blindfolded can beat Talkerr.

[@alexanders4911]

He likes to talk. Jakob will crush him 😂

[@caseycole4003]

Bro should have not listened to the gentleman in the blue. If he would’ve answered the way hey wanted to we’d have more hype and exposure leading into Paris for their matchup. I think he just threw in the towel and gave the race to Jakob by not responding the way he wanted. Let’s get a re-interview with a response to Jakob, that way he has a better chance of beating him.

[@ZATHURAKEY]

lol, a response to Jacob doesn't give Kerr any more chance of beating him at the Olympics

[@J.e.f.f.r.e.y]

The banter he and Jakob have is more in the background and Kerr knows it’s just fun and not for a major world championship press conference interview. It would be out of place for him to respond to that question in this context.

[@jaredbowen3527]

Bro called Grant Holloway “the gentleman in blue” 😂

[@giffysstiffy8874giffytuck]

I like Josh, Jacob, Coby Hilton, Cole Beck (or Coleton Beck), Joe Ferguson and Rohan Browning Equally🙂🥳 These are all aweso.e people....look them up🙂
