Comments Thread For: Jacobs' Trainer: Jacobs Has More One-Punch KO Power Than Golovkin

[uppercut510]

stevens had a good amateur background/experience with very fast hands like jacobs does. didn't help him much in his fight with golovkin.

GGG fans would call stevens a complete bum in any other situation, stop bringing stevens up please.

BINGO! Golovkin, while he has a lot of knockouts, is not a one punch knockout artist - by choice. He varies his punch selection, speed and power quite a bit in an effort to move his opponent where he wants and land clean shots. Could he throw bombs and get people out? Of course. Have you seen him on the mitts? The guy has raw power. But that is not how he fights. He looks to hurt and pressure his opponent until they can't take anymore. That is generally worse than a one punch knockout because it is sustained damage and pain over the course of a fight.

^^^^^This. Golovkin produces a methodical beat down of his opponents. IMO he loves the show and sustains it until he feels like ending it.

Coach your not counting opposition. Jacobs signature win was first round ko of Quillin. The rest bums the good fighters pirog kod you but you have legit excuse but anyone dropped by mora no excuse shows chin is a issue

[elgu]

Jacobs has the edge in power but GGG has it in skills, fundamentals, technique, timing, punch variation, punch placement, ring iq, distance, toughness, and an iron chin.

Oh, and i almost forgot...GGG has all the power needed to KO a guy that not only has a glass chin, but bad defense and throws wildly.

Jacobs will get caught in an exchange and it will be all over.

GGG destroyed everyone so what it took 2 punches not 1 or a combo he rains bombs on you and never down or hurt

With Jacobs whiskers I hope they dont try and test this theory out cuz it will end badly for them.

GGG is picking shots, not swinging for the fences. He doesn't need to try for a one punch KO because his every punch is heavy enough to break his opponents down. It's a very controlled way to fight if you have his kind of heavy hands. Don't take the risk to put it all into one shot, just fire heavy well placed shots and wait for your opponent break down. He has enough confidence in his shots to be patient. Ironically, he could have had a lot more unconscious opponents if the ref or the other corner hadn't stepped in so often to save the guy from a dangerous beating.

Well said.

i really don't think that's true.

GGG has 5 one punch KO's at the championship level. (rubio, macklin, ishida, geal and simon)

how many one punch KO's does Jacobs have?

Exactly. And considering many light heavyweights, super middleweight and even cruiserweight say that Gennady Golovkin hits extremely hard, that should tell you who the bigger puncher is.

[jackblack008]

Yes you have one punch KO power but GGG chin is OK. How about your chin.

It would be interesting if Jacobs rushes to GGG like he did with peter Quilin. GGG would be stunned for atleast a few seconds. LOL
