Veteran trainer Virgil Hunter is giving Daniel Jacobs (32-1, 29 KOs) a very good shot to upset IBF, IBO, WBA, WBC middleweight world champion Gennady Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs).

Their HBO Pay-Per-View fight takes place on March 18th from Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Jacobs is trained by career coach Andre Rozier, but Hunter is assisting the team as an adviser.

Jacobs, who is the mandatory challenger to Golovkin's middleweight crown, is training for the fight of his life.

The once beaten Brooklyn fighter is viewed as the toughest test of Golovkin's career. Among the opponents on Golovkin's current resume, Jacobs is considered by a lot of expects to be the most talented and most capable of pulling off the upset.

Jacobs has won twelve in a row, all by knockout, since suffering his first career defeat at the hands of Dmitry Pirog in July of 2010.

Golovkin has stopped his last 23 opponents.

"I can not predict who's going to win. What I do know is that it's going to be a very difficult fight," Hunter said to ESPN Deportes. "We already know what Golovkin represents, he's a tremendous boxer, Very well prepared.

"Danny has the physical attributes to make a fight a lot more interesting [than Golovkin's past fights] and if he manages to do everything he knows, he can become an opponent who presents GGG a better opposition than what [he's had in the past]. I like [Jacobs'] speed, his power... it should result in a more interesting fight."

"[Jacobs winning] all depends on how the fight is played out.You can use a strategy in which you try to box him, but you must always be prepared to change the fight plan - because Golovkin has the attributes to win this fight. That's why Danny, in addition to bringing his physical-athletic conditions, his virtues as a boxer, must also arrive with the right mental attitude - something that he must keep intact from the first bell."

"But definitely Danny Jacobs has the right boxing qualities to win this fight."
