Official Comments Thread: "Miracle Man" Jacobs vs "Good Boy" Golovkin

[travestyny]

Kovalev did better versus Ward than GGG did tonight against Jacobs... Much better.

Real talk!

If GGG fights that way vs Canelo, he's not getting the gift decision.

I had Danny winning 7-5, with the 10-8 round bringing it to 114-113.

Golovkin is a B level fighter with an A level jab and power. Jacobs fought a little over his head tonight and to me he deserved the decision. Jacobs is a very good fighter without being exceptional.

I had GGG winning but he looked terrible. His jab looked fantastic as always but he should have let his hands go more often and could work the body more. On the other hand Jacobs suprised me, I expected him to get weared down knocked out but he held his own, he showed a lot of courage that I admit, didn't expect to see from him. I guess it helped him coming in much bigger.

Danny made my city, my borough, my hood so damn proud. **** I'm gutted man

GGG is not as good a boxer as I thought. He's got by on raw power,, dude should definitely stay at 160 I understand now why he will never move up and face Ward at 168.

I thought Jacobs won that fight but he looked like he was nearly done and GGG had another gear his skills just aren't on the same level as Jacobs. GGG will never rematch him, he was made to look poor in that fight.

Canelo doesn't have the height, reach, footspeed or overall size for that to matter.

Nice to have more posters in here with sense. I agree 100%. It's called cognitive dissonance. I just find it sad people have so much invested in these fighters that they aren't able to see things objectively. It's really a psychological issue. Kovalev did better versus Ward than GGG did tonight against Jacobs... Much better.

That's why Kovalev is higher P4P and deserves it. People who know boxing know he's the real deal. Ward is also much harder to look good against for any style.

All emotions aside, it was the fight between two best middleweights, just like Kovalev/Ward was the fight between two best lightheavyweights

[StefanTosic]

Exactly, the emotional Box Nation commentators were horrible.

If GGG wasn't hurting Jacobs by their estimation that automatically means he's getting outboxed. Fvking pathetic. GG's jab was dominating Jacobs in the first 2 rounds, dunno how people give the first 3 to Jacobs. Plus he hurt him multiple times and overall landed the cleaner punches.

This one. I felt the same way. I was watching boxnation streaming, and I was thinking WTF, Golovkin took those first 3 rounds in my book. But ok I'm going to rewatch it and see if I'm wrong.
