    not the point. Jacobs is athletic and powerful enough where he can definitely pick-up greco clinching quickly.

          He can't stay midrange or outside all night, he's gonna have to fight GGG on the inside too, the closer he is to GGG the safer he is because GGG needs space to generate power just like everybody else, being able to fight on the inside and being able to utilize the clinch to neutralize GGG are things that are essential for Jacobs if he wants to win that fight, being able to move, block and slip for defense are good but against a guy that is that good offensively like GGG you can't be repititive with you defensive moves, you gotta mix up some clinching and rough housing on the inside like a true professional, GGG not being able to deal with that particular style is what cost him the gold in the olympics, I know he has improved throughout the years but it took him a while to get to the US and sparr/ fight true pros that used that tactic against him, so I think he's not really prepared for it since he's been relying on the things he used in the amateurs and didn't learn how to deal with roughhousing as a pro because he never needed too.

              Jacobs isn't remotely capable of fighting like Ward.

                With Jacobs' chin, using Ward's tactics would be suicide.

                  I would say Martin Murray is stronger than Jacobs and he wasn't able to achieve anything by holding. In-fact all it did was show just how strong GGG is at the weight. He handled Murray as if he were a baby. So that won't work for Jacobs here. No way.

                    Haha are you going to use that on
                    everything?

                    Jacob's is going to get caught coming in recklessly against GGG like he did Mora.

                    "GGG may be the one getting caught coming in recklessly"

                    Man, you're gay.

                      The buzz is probably coming from actual boxing fans who've paid attention to the sport and love to see the top two in a division fight.
