Plan A - attack from the opening round and don't let up until the ref stops the fight
Plan B - clinch, hold, run and fight in survival mode and hope they rob Golovkin
He should get DQ'd then, just so he can brag about ending Golovkin's ko streak lol
Never thought about that. lol. He should just pull a Salido and just punch below the beltline and hope Laurence Cole is the ref. lol For real he should just try to make the fight dirty as possible. If he's lucky he can get away with some punches and at worst he's DQ'd and ends GGG's KO streak for ****s and giggles. lol
lmao, I already see the fight ending. Looping right hand and down goes jacobs.!!! He beat the count, Golovkin jumps on him until ref stops the fight. Then Jacobs will say in the post fight interview that GGG has the cure for cancer.
they arent accurateWhy aren't they accurate? How hard is it to see if punches land or not? It's not rocket science. Are they some how trying to make GGG look good? Why would they care where he ranks? They have no reason to do him any favors.
With all of the constant trashing of GGG you have done on this board I would think you would bet all your money on a bad ass like Jacobs to beat him. Jacobs is exactly the kind of skilled boxer-puncher KO artist you claim GGG has never fought and deliberately avoided. Jacobs has KOed everyone he has fought for years now. He holds a 1 round KO over the respected Kid Chocolate. You said GGG deserved to be ranked no higher than 15th in the world PFP. You better pray for a Jacobs win. If GGG crushes Jacobs in the usual fashion he will be ranked 1st PFP by the majority on here and you know that would just drive you crazy.
If the computer numbers are accurate GGG is tied with Ward in 2nd place behind Loma for having the best ratio of punches landed vs. punches landed on him. GGG also lands more jabs per round then any other boxer. These numbers show that GGG is not just a great puncher with an iron jaw who has never been knocked down. He is an excellent boxer as well. GGG has never had a close fight and has lost very few rounds in his whole career. Bet on Jacobs and you will make a very good return on your bet IF Jacobs wins.

i think he is a better pure boxer than golovkin, he should stay long and try to counterpunch. he does have to try to get ggg out of there early though with one of those counters because he (jacobs) doesnt have the chin or defense to go rounds with a puncher.
i wonder what sport you are watching.
Jacobs has faster hands and feet, but that's about it. I guess fast and flashly combos mean you are super duper skilled. GGG is a silver medalist and top flight amateur.
Jacobs will not win a pure boxing match vs GGG. He needs to get in there and assert his physicality. Be the first to land, impose his size and strength, use his athletic gifts and test GGG's chin and body (where he's looked most vulnerable)
I was rewatching the tapes of Jacob-Pirog abd the recent Mora-Jacobs fight. I'm seeing that Jacobs hadn't learn much from that fight. He still is wide open for that counter right hand, and still in the Mora fight he dropped that right hand too often for GGG's left hook. He is not really learning much since his loss in 2010.
You're absolutely right, he's still limited, that's why he can't try to match GGG shot or shot or skill for skill, he's gotta be rough and dirty, he's gonna have to spoil the fight early, neutralize GGG, frustrate him, wear him down using his weight, take the power away then try to box late.
I know it's a completely different situation and GGG has improved a lot as a fighter since the 2004 olympics, but go watch the final fight against that big Russian dude he fought, that mofo held for dear life most of the time and did just enough to win and he did, Jacobs best chance is to try to use a similar plan, plus we never saw anyone try to do that to GGG in the pro ranks so maybe he's not prepared for it.
Plan A is the one that gives him the best shot. When has Jacobs ever shown either the inclination or the ability to execute anything like plan B?
Incidentally what does the TS reckon their closest opponents are to each other stylistically?
... Ward learned in about twenty years...
Ward's strength is firing shots in the clinch and pivoting to land shots on the inside, but when it comes to holding or clinching just to neutralize your opponent (which is theoretically a foul), most fighters with pro level experience can do that and most trainers train fighters to do that in case they got hurt in the fight, that doesn't take a special talent like Ward, you just have to practice it and be physically strong and sneaky enough with it. He's the bigger heavier probably physically stronger man so he MUST take advantage of that.
GGG has some experience in the championship rounds though which his Murray. He went to the distance against heavy punchers in abraham and Martinez. And GGG stopped him at 11th so even if it does go to the champion rounds GGG has the stamina to do it.
Murray was worn down during the rounds and the accumulation of punishment did it, he was hurt multiple times during the fight and was KDed twice in the 4th round, he didn't utilize the dirty rough game plan i suggested early and was taking punishment the whole fight due to him being poorly positioned at exactly the range GGG likes. Plus this fight was a couple of years back and Jacobs is a bit younger than GGG, so we don't know for sure who's gonna win in a war of attrition, but if GGG managed to land shots throughout the fight then of course he'll have more left to stop Jacobs.
Plan A - attack from the opening round and don't let up until the ref stops the fight
Plan B - clinch, hold, run and fight in survival mode and hope they rob Golovkin
The B plan isn't for Jacobs, because he can't wrestle as Ward does.
