GGG: "Andre Ward is too much for me"

[BM dnobagaV]

Power and reach is what kept Jacobs in the fight, neither of which Ward excels at. Jacobs got outjabbed the whole night and had very little head movement. I wouldn't call combos Ward's strength either.

Blah blah blah 160 is weak blah blah lil g. There's a whole squad of you morons whose only reason to visit NSB is to pat each other on the back while saying 'lil g'.

This fight had nothing to do with Ward. Go talk about his rematch clause with kovalev.

I seriously don't ****ing understand how Golovkin outjabbed Jacobs. We must've been watching different fights, because Jacobs used his jab 100x more effectively than Golovkin.

It's baffling how little Golovkin threw yet was more "active".

Watch the fight again tomorrow and take all emotions out of it. Golovkin threw his stiff jab and landed quite a bit on Jacobs, but that's not the main story. The main story is that his counterjab was doing a ton of damage. Start watching rounds ~4-8, you'll see him picking off Danny's jabs and landing his own to snap Danny's head back.

IMO the only reason judges gave him the fight is because his jab controlled the fight.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by 'how little Golovkin threw'. He threw/landed less than he usually does, which is true. But he threw plenty and landed at a great rate.

Final CompuBox stats:

Golovkin 233-of-618 (38%)

Jacobs 176-of-542 (32%)

Edit - also just saw this. Golovkin landed 106 jabs vs. 31 for Jacobs. I think you're thinking Danny outjabbed him because Rozier kept talking about the jab during the breaks.

I listened to Box Nation commentary.

I must be ****ing blind, same as the commentators, but it is absolutely impossible that Golovkin threw that many jabs. Absolutely baffling numbers.

The only emotion I had was higher expectations from Golovkin. Maybe I underrated Jacobs and his size and overrated Golovkin.

Thinking about it hours later, I could see the writing on the wall against Murray for GGG by how lame he looked against a higher-caliber fighter while also seeing it for Jacobs against Pirog by how well he did. Also considering he was once the highest rated amateur in the US.

Why is this even a discussion at this point? We heard from the man himself, "Ward is too much for me"


In b4 "He don't speak english doe" you can even see him shaking his head with his lips pursed lmao. Weren't GGG fans going crazy after they saw Cotto's facial expression? I'm interested in the excuses.

This is laughable. Gennady clearly had trouble with English. At the end of the interview he had to get a question repeated because he didn't understand what the interviewer meant. Even you don't really believe what you are claiming.

[just the facts]

If team ggg thought he could beat Ward they would have made the fight. They didn’t.

what do you think they were talking about, tiddlywinks?

I know exactly what they were talking about. You obviously don't.
