Comments Thread For: Sugar Ray Leonard on Golovkin-Jacobs: Whoever Lands First Wins!

[Shrap]

There has been more Granite Chins in boxing than there is in the whole Chinese phone book, but if you get tagged just right, you are going down.

I expect Jacobs to drop GGG early, then depending on how well GGG handles it, maybe stop him.
If Jacobs doesn't catch GGG early, I think he will get a weary GGG late, or just dominate the late part of the fight and win a decision.

If GGG doesn't stop Jacobs within 6, I think GGG gets too weary to win late.

This is one atrocious attempt at predicting a fight. You "expect" a guy to get dropped who has never been dropped over a guy who has been dropped?

Jacobs has a punchers chance but he will never win a decision over a "weary" GGG. Golovkin is a far better boxer any day of the week and will never get "dominated" by Jacobs.

Yes, well thnks Sug, massive respect an all, but that breakdown is perhaps a little sketchy on detail.

Nah. It's all soundbites ain't it? Someone shoves a mic under a guys nose and expects an in-depth fight analysis gonna be disappointed, I've noticed most boxers and trainers generally just open their gobs and let the words fall out. Funny thing is the amount of time the obsessives on forums spent trying to twist and turn and wring every last nuance outta this throwaway sheet.

too true, good call

I think that Golovkin is durable, and skilled..... but more importantly, he will approach this fight differently than he did with Brook. Golovkin knew that Brook was over-matched. Jacobs aint gonna blast him out of there, and the only real way I can see Jacobs outlasting him would be if he can cut Golovkin or hurt him.

Golovkin tko7, but I think the fight will be competitive at times..... Danny will be in that fight early, and he has a chance, but Golovkin should win and look good doing so.

Jacobs will be/become " available ".

Be surprised if Team Golovkin let this fight slip away to be honest. It's a good fight for them.

Why is the WBA not ready to announce the purse bid yet? The negotiation deadline was October 12th. The purse bid should be Monday, October 17th! Make it happen!

Agree with the assessment. Jacobs has to earn some respect early to maintain some control of the fight. If Jacobs can make the fight ugly, he has a shot. If he let's Trip control distance, he will eventually get caught and a likely TKO will ensue.

If Trip can sit behind his jab and win like he did against Lemieux, Jacobs never belonged in the ring with him.

GGG at least fighting dangerous punchers who hit as hard as him.
If jacvoibs hits like heavyweight. GGG hits like cruiserweight.
GGG should get crediucrediut for this win

Great analysis! Good post man.

I actually think this will be a tough fight for Golovkin. Jacobs is a different fighter than when he lost to Pirog. He was getting bullied in that fight because Pirog applied a lot of pressure, moved well, and Jacobs couldn't land anything significant on him. He had no answers. I would think by now he knows how to deal with that kind of pressure. Jacobs would be better suited to deal with Golovkin using his boxing skills than say Lemieux. The more pressure Golovkin applies the more opportunities Jacobs would have to land something big. Better believe Jacobs is capable of hurting Golovkin if he lands and he would be easier to find than Pirog.
