Comments Thread For: Golovkin Coach: We Need To Destroy Jacobs Like Everybody Else

[Weltschmerz]

I dont think so. He used that tactic because he knew Lemiuex needed to brawl to have any chance to win. Shame for the fans, but it was smart.

Jacobs cant really afford a shootout, and thats what GGG needs to create in this fight. Push Jacobs back, stay wary of his power (more so than he has been of other recent opponents), get him to the ropes and open up.

You reckon Jacobs has a good shot here? I think Golovkin wears him down and stops him late.

Sorry beating Jacobs doesn't make someone a great fighter. Are you ******ed?

I don't rate Jacobs as high as a lot of people do, but let's be honest his record ain't joke and his only lose came against a monster back then(Pirog).

If GGG destroys Jacobs the only thing we can be sure is that Canelo vs GGG is gonna be a hell of a fight.

See what they do? As soon as the fight is signed, GGG opponents become B level smh. The hate this people spew......

That's generous, IMO.

On paper it looks like a tough but eventual win for GGG. That being said this is still a VERY interesting fight because I believe both fighters will be tested at some point. We know how GGG responds but Jacobs is still enough of a mystery to make me want to watch it. That being said if I'm putting my money on the winner I'd have to go with GGG without any reservation.

Personally i think GGG is going to stop him.

But Jacobs speed and power make him dangerous, and his experience of getting ko'd before will probably give him that nervous energy you need to stay sharp and who knows, maybe keep his distance all night.

Technically though i havent seen Jacobs massive improvements since the Pirog fight, we havent really seen much of him at all because his only good opponent was blasted out early. So until proven otherwise i dont think hes got the defensive skills or the ring generalship to stay away from GGG, and i know who appears to be more durable if it comes to a shoot out

You don't know enough about boxing to see any improvement since the pirog fight.

You just don't know what you're looking at.

[ShoulderRoll]

Even Golovkin is bored of fighting bums. I'm glad Jacobs has kept him from losing interest.

Show me the fight where he has shown these drastic improvements. Im always open to being proved wrong.

I tell you this much....I don't see any decline in Jacobs...but I do in Golovkin.

I tend to think any fighter has improved since being a 23 y/o prospect.

Since you're pulling for GGG...you should ask yourself has he improved since Ouma.

We know he hasn't improved since Kell Brook was lighting his ass up.

Just stop

If there is a decline then its more to do with **** opponents tbh. GG looks bored in there at times. His defence has always been **** if that is what you are referring to. The problem for his opponents has been dishing out enough punishment to keep GGG from coming forward. The psychological pressure of fighting someone who punches like a mule kicks, has a very good chin, and is perfectly comfortable cutting the ring off and staying in range is huge. Jacobs is going to need to show a lot more in this fight than he has shown me so far to say he can deal with that pressure either tactically or physically.
