De La Hoya was correct, GGG can't fight backwards?

Who do you have in the Quillen Jacobs bout ?

I've posted before, I have soft spot for Jacobs because of his earlier cancer recovery, however, I see Quillin winning. I am still undecided about decision style. Maybe in a week I'll give my go on it.

I like Jacobs in this but it could easily be a pickem ..Either way one of them should face GGG after there bout..

i meant to say triple jab, david only did it like 3 times but when he did thats when golovkin would be open

Here is the problem with that analysis. You dont know how many times Lemieux intended to tipple jab but got countered at jab 1. You have no way of knowing if Lemieux wasn't trying to throw more triple jabs but being countered.

GGG looked mad nervous coming into this bout. We've all seen that face plenty of times. I don't blame him for using that "jab." He could've came forward like against Rubio or Geale, but their defensive movement is different than that of Lemeiux because their taller I guess. There were moments of confidence where Lemeiux actually fought, but the disadvantage was range.

Everybody praised this fight because we were expecting a slug match, not jab control on his debut PPV on HBO. GGG got tagged several times in the face. For me that's more than enough to assume great fights to come when GGG is put to the test against heavier punchers. I don't know why people hate Chocolate so much because of the Roc Nation drama of not going with the 1.4million. When Thurman denied 6mill from Roc Nation or Broner's double digit nobody cared. I follow those things and the politics in boxing.

I wish Curtis Stevens had a trainer like Virgil Hunter.

He probably can, but he's not trying to because it's not the right strategy against any of his opponents. Why move backwards and give his opponents a better chance of winning?

When Americans want to criticize GGG or Kovalev they always bring up this "fighting backwards" bs, like if you dont do this bit.ch ass sh.it, you are a bum and caveman.

This made me howl. So true.

ggg used his jab to keep lemiux on back foot

lemiuxs gameplan was to take ggg into later rounds

If you think Quillin vs GGG needs to happen then tell Quillin who seems to want no part of GGG. I doubt Quillin beats Jacobs and he did no better than a draw with Lee. There aren't any draws messing up GGG's perfect record with 92% KOs. If GGG fought Quillin it would be Quillin backing up and GGG adding him to his long and growing list of KO victims.
