Comments Thread For: Jacobs: I'm Confident That I Can Hurt Gennady Golovkin

[JRS1980]

that is the difference between a fighter and a fan

Jacobs KNOWS Golovkin aint a great fighter, yet..... and he thinks that he is

hence his comments about Brook being Golovkin's best win

Jacobs aint thinking about Pirog, you fans are

he knows Hopkins lost his first fight, and Marquez did as well..... plenty of greats have lost

Jacobs also knows that if he can win a 50/50 fight by KO in the first round..... then he can ALSO win a 40/60 fight by KO in the first round

nothing wrong with having confidence and self-belief, he will need plenty of that when the leather starts landing..... and it will

I definitely favor Golovkin, but you guys could be sleeping on Jacobs a bit..... I don't think he will simply fold like you guys seem to think

First off, Golovkin is a great fighter. If you can't recognize that, I would argue you don't know much about boxing craft. Secondly, where in my post did I say Jacobs doesn't have a shot? I didn't. What I said is that if he just assuming GGG is looking past him, and therefore won't be at the top of his game, then he is making a mistake. This week he has also questioned Golovkin's chin, his resume (which is significantly better than Jacob's) and so on. To me, when I see guys talking like that it makes me feel as if they are trying to convince themselves they can win. If you notice, the only thing Golovkin has said about Jacobs is that he is a great fighter, and this is boxing, anything can happen.

Jacobs has the power to hurt GGG.I think he need use his hand speed throw fast 3-4 punch combos and mix in 1-2 hard punches to do damage

He might not want to be stood in range long enough to land combinations though. If he stays in the pocket a split second too long and takes a shot back, would anybody be that confident that Jacobs can stand up to the power?

I guess that's the problem fighting GGG though. If you try to box and move, he's so good at cutting the ring off to the point you've found yourself on the ropes or in a corner, but then stand and box with with him too much and you might end up being caught too often and being set up with his powerful jab. I suppose you just have to do your best to mix it up. Too many of his opponents fight scared too, which is a problem because you can't just invite his pressure.

That said, anybody can be hurt and Jacobs has a lot of power, so who knows. To win a decision though, i just think it's going to take a hell of a game plan to beat Golovkin, and requires it carried out to perfection too.

After seeing so many boxers robbed by judges, I think GGG should have put a clause in the contract "If the decision is contested, either party can request an independent commission of 5 judges to review the tapes and make a decision".

Ward is a low life man.

I am as well. I am also confident he can have you out on your feet. Focus and stop doing interviews damnit lol

You don't see ggg being quoted on here. That man stays focused on the task at hand.

Exactly. Golovkin waits until fight night to do his talking. I give Jacobs a lot of credit for getting in there with him but he really needs to stop the posturing. Don't worry Danny. We're already interested in the fight. We don't need you marketing it for us

[aboutfkntime]

Why do you favor Golovkin? You said he isn't great. Maybe it's because you don't think Jacobs is very good.

Personally I don't think Jacobs will fold. But he WILL get folded.

that is my pick

not sure how you could deduce what you said from my post ?

Danny Jacobs is a very good fighter, and Gennady Golovkin is an outstanding fighter..... he could even be special

..... we will not know that based on the outcome of the Jacobs fight, but if Gennady beats him then Jacobs will likely be recorded as a very good win

people throw that word great around like it's the new " cool "

but in boxing terms, the word great is reserved for actual greatness

fighters use that term far too often, they should know better

I think they need to prepare counters for Golovkin's somewhat predictable attacks, and work on timing

How to use what makes Trip great? Jimmy Jacobs is just saying what most fighters who don't talk a lot of trash say when they want to communicate to the public that they aren't scared but they don't want to give the other fighter bulletin board material.

No worries. I prefer to engage with people who have legitimate talking points and no agenda. Adios.

[GMAN SUPREME]

jacobs will need to land multiple shots flush on ggg's chin to do anything like its been said here a thousand times we've seen him take shots from hard punchers like stevens and lemieux and it didn't even phase him 1 or 2 punches wont do it. I wonder how will danny react if ggg walks through his best punches.
