Jacobs only has two fight plans to beat Golovkin

[Kigali]

His only chance is to throw bombs and hope one lands.

He doesn't have the chin to last in a long fight.

GGG doesn't have the chin to last long in THIS fight either.

I was rewatching the tapes of Jacob-Pirog abd the recent Mora-Jacobs fight. I'm seeing that Jacobs hadn't learn much from that fight. He still is wide open for that counter right hand, and still in the Mora fight he dropped that right hand too often for GGG's left hook. He is not really learning much since his loss in 2010.

You're absolutely right, he's still limited, that's why he can't try to match GGG shot or shot or skill for skill, he's gotta be rough and dirty, he's gonna have to spoil the fight early, neutralize GGG, frustrate him, wear him down using his weight, take the power away then try to box late.

I know it's a completely different situation and GGG has improved a lot as a fighter since the 2004 olympics, but go watch the final fight against that big Russian dude he fought, that mofo held for dear life most of the time and did just enough to win and he did, Jacobs best chance is to try to use a similar plan, plus we never saw anyone try to do that to GGG in the pro ranks so maybe he's not prepared for it.

Or he can just lay down and wave the white flag AKA Plan C.

So has Jacobs.

Nah...that's too British.

i think he is a better pure boxer than golovkin, he should stay long and try to counterpunch. he does have to try to get ggg out of there early though with one of those counters because he (jacobs) doesnt have the chin or defense to go rounds with a puncher.

i wonder what sport you are watching.

Jacobs has faster hands and feet, but that's about it. I guess fast and flashly combos mean you are super duper skilled. GGG is a silver medalist and top flight amateur.

Jacobs will not win a pure boxing match vs GGG. He needs to get in there and assert his physicality. Be the first to land, impose his size and strength, use his athletic gifts and test GGG's chin and body (where he's looked most vulnerable)

Two fight plans. Run and hug all night. If nothing works, quit like Walters did without scratches. He'll go all the way to the bank laughing.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Plan B won't work. If he runs Golovkin will hunt him down and finish it. Unlike Kovalev, Golovkin not likely to leave it up to the judges.

Yes, Kovalev should take a lesson from him. No one can argue with a knock out.

If the computer numbers are accurate GGG is tied with Ward in 2nd place behind Loma for having the best ratio of punches landed vs. punches landed on him. GGG also lands more jabs per round then any other boxer. These numbers show that GGG is not just a great puncher with an iron jaw who has never been knocked down. He is an excellent boxer as well. GGG has never had a close fight and has lost very few rounds in his whole career. Bet on Jacobs and you will make a very good return on your bet IF Jacobs wins.
