Danny Jacobs done the typical African-American thing.

slow plodding soviets dont want none of this african american slickness soviet only won here because it was a movie. thats actually a documentary bud

If you talkin about what Thurman did in the last three rounds against Garcia then yes, that is pathetic. Some guys just take it too far. Floyd used to do it in the twelfth round of his fights when he knew he had it in the bag, not for almost the whole second half of the fight like wtf? Personally the style I like the most with current fighters who fight the 'slick' style is Adonis Stevenson. They guy is slick AF, both on the inside and the outside, but is also offensive and aggressive. I like Andrade too, maybe even more than Adonis. The guy is also slick AF but has a very offensive-aggressive element to his slickness. He aint running away from you, he just movin back so he can reset and beat the crap out of you with a blitz combination and then he out of there before you know it. Mayweather moved away and back a lot, but he was punching you in while moving back, punching you while circling around you (check left hook), punching you while on the offense and then countering you right while blocking or ducking under your punches, also the shots he landed were clean and eye catching, you could have your eyes closed and you still saw that that was a freakin good shot. People critized him for not throwing ten punch combinations but I see nothing wrong with 1-2s and 3_4s. I like Jermall Charlo's style too and I think Jermell Charlo's new coach gonna make him fight more like Spence (same coach) so their natural slickness combined with the offensive-aggressive approach of their trainer gonna make em entertaining. Wilder is offensive AF as well and nothing needs to be said about Crawford. So all in all I don't think entertainment value has gone done from 'black' or 'african american' fighters, if anything I think it's on the rise. It has become clear however that letting Keith Thurman win early rounds is a recipe for disaster coz the guy will just refuse to engage unless absolutely neccessary if you let him win early rounds.

Its called strategy...

Comparing Danny Jacobs and the other modern "slicksters" to Muhammad Ali is laughable. You question my boxing knowledge, because I don't see the Andre Dirrells of this world as continuing on the style of past greats who happen to be African-American.

Most of the racist types on here I've noticed know very little about boxing's history. Their knowledge of the sport before the year 2000 is very basic at best. Most of these guys couldn't have a real conversation about boxing history or boxing technique because they don't know anything so they stick to racial stereotypes because it's all they really know. hmm well youre on to something about OP. just cant get over his "lately" in regards to the SAA slick african american boxing club.

Lately it is popular for African-American boxers to be "slick". This translates to constant movement and not engaging. This technique can frustrate an opponent but it also gets boring after a few rounds. It ends up coming across negative like he's fighting scared. There were times last night when Jacobs landed decent punches but never followed them up. He clearly had the speed and could find Golovkin's chin but it was as if he didn't trust himself standing in range. The kidology made matters worse. Talking to GGG and waving him on but then hugging inside and running away at distance. Having said all that, I was impressed with Danny Jacobs. He used the only style he could I suppose. He exposed GGG a bit as a fighter too reliant on his power. Golovkin is a good boxer but last night he obviously went into that fight believing his own hype. In a rematch I feel Jacobs has nothing new to offer and GGG would be better prepared for all scenarios. I feel this fight flattered Jacobs a lot, he looked competetive in a fight when really those were the only tactics he could use to not get knocked out. Golovkin may also be showing signs of age. lately? where u been the last 50 years bruh? also mind blown that clay liston 1 was 53 years ago. jesus
