Comments Thread For: Jacobs: Most Guys are Beaten Mentally When They Face Golovkin

[Combat Talk Radio]

Who has eubank beaten or done to show he's a better offensive fighter than brook? His best accomplishment is losing to bjs.

The real question is, what fight showcased how limited Brook is? I'll tell you - the Porter fight. Where he basically didn't engage.

As opposed to Eubank Jr whose only truly poor performance was against Saunders - and he frankly won the second half of the fight once he started taking risks. He just took too long to show up. And it wasn't like it was a one-sided schooling in any case.

If you're talking about Eubank Jnr there, then, with respect, you are talking garbage.

Jnr is bigger and stronger than Brook, and does a lot of flashy prancing around and showboating when he is in with domestic level opponents - which he almost always is - but his offensive techniques, balance, skill, and timing are nowhere near Brook's level.

Junior has better snap on his punches than Brook. Brook has a better uppercut, that's all. When it comes to the punches most likely to land, Eubank's are definitely going to hurt if and when that fight happens.

As far as timing, you might be right, but it's not needed against G. He comes straight forward and doesn't move his head. Tailor made for Eubank who plants when he throws.

All I'm saying is that Eubank has the potential to hurt G en route to at least a split decision unlike G's other opposition.

Jnr can move around the ring, switching angles etc, and he can throw fast accurate combos. Doing both at the same time is something he hasn't mastered, and Kell Brook has.

Being able to do everything you can do with your feet set, against a stationary target, while on the move, is what separates those guys who really can box from the rest.

Eubank Jnr is not a power puncher. He has 75% KOs against mediocre opposition, and most of those guys were stopped on their feet without being decked.

Having seen Polish plumbers and domestic level UK MWs take Jnr's best punches without going down, I seriously doubt that he could hurt GGG, who has one of the best chins in the game.

Talking a lot because you have an upside on the PPV is one thing..Talking everyday like this is a bit worrisome.

everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth!

Jacobs is going to get to GGG let's see how Golovkin reacts to those punches. This is a great fight, finally the best at 160 are willing to fight and it's on. The winner is king at 160 for sure, wouldn't mind seeing the winner take on Saunders or Canelo.

GGG's chin hasn't been tested. Nobody has hit him with a clear, flush, full-backed punch besides Brook, a welterweight. And G was stunned by it.

Look, I know you and many others have this notion that G is unstoppable simply because nobody's taking risks against him. I get it. But the reality is, someone who throws it all to the wind, beats Golovkin if they have power.

Darnell Boone, were he not buddies with G, would likely beat Golovkin. Not because Boone is some legend, but because Boone doesn't care. He throws caution to the wind and takes risks.

Eubank is also such a fighter. Eubank by SD if they ever fight.

GGG might get blasted himself.

Remarkable analysis as usual.

Any shrink will tell that Jacobs is already beaten mentally just by saying he isn't. Jacobs is trying to convince himself.
