tl;dr - Jacobs is just saying he's training like a scared fighter. He's training based on the idea of Golovkin, what the media made him out to be. He says he's not scared of the fighter per se, just what the media has created, and that's what he has adapted his training to. To take on the biggest challenge of his career.

Jacobs is smart, he knows what to say when you ask him questions, he's a well-educated guy. I'm rooting for him, I want him to win real bad, but I just don't see it happening.

Yeah, he is smart and his lack of denial, his honesty with himself is a strength. He seems to be a good guy too. Don't be so sure he's going to lose....You might be surprised.

I'm rooting for Golovkin but if Jacobs pulls off the upset I'll be happy for him....but of course I'll disappointed that Golovkin lost.

GGG's undercards suck. I guess he wants every penny to himself. Hope they let us know what time exactly the fight starts so I don't waste my time watching junk.

As for Jacobs, he definitely has a chance because he can **** and box. His only problem is his brittle chin but this should be a great fight as long as it lasts. GGG like him, hate him, the guy is an animal. His boxing ability is often underrated but he won't trade if he feels the pain until he has softened his opponent.

Roman Gonzalez is fighting (& Andy Lee) the under-card isn't that bad. Granted I'm from the UK so it doesn't cost anything here (I pay the £12 a month Boxnation sub anyway)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with having fear in the ring, no matter how much fake tough guys on the internet think boxers should never feel or show it.

Fear makes sure you train your best. Fear makes sure you're fully prepared. Sounds like that's what Jacobs is doing. We'll see how that translates in the ring.

I still think Jacobs has a descent chance . He is younger , faster and hits hard . His chin is suspect so as long as he doesn't fight scared and just tries to survive, he has a chance . He has to let his hands go.

Fear is good. It all just depends on how you use it.

For example, if you use fear like Molina did vs Joshua then you're ****ed. That dude backed up to the ropes as soon as the bell rang.

Danny might give us a surprise when the day comes.
Still have my money on Golovkin, but Danny is real and a great dude!

I'm rooting for Golovkin but best of luck to Jacobs, as long as the winner of this fight and the winner of Canelo/Chavez meet at either Sep 16 or May 5, 2018 I'm cool, maybe the losers of both fights can fight each other as the co-main event

I like how this guy subtly adds "...or May 5, 2018". Is this not a proof that these posters are on GBP payroll, IDK what is...
