What Round Does GGG's Power Start To Diminish?

[vman075]

Golovkin's power doesn't "start to diminish"; he's simply nowhere near as big a puncher as folks like to talk up. The man's a heavy puncher, but he's not a concussive puncher like Stevenson or Wilder (or Jacobs for that matter).

Think of Golovkin's power being a baseball bat, and his opponent as a tree.

How long would it take to bring down a sturdy oak tree with a baseball bat? Adjust the analogy for Jacobs however you want, but it's going to take an accumulation of punishment for Golovkin to get Jacobs into real danger.

While he's doing his work, Golovkin's also got to worry about Jacobs dealing his own damage.

Dumbest analogy. A single baseball bat will never break down a tree. If you have an unlimited supply, idk, but it wouldn't happen in 45 minutes. By this logic, he would never have knocked anyone out.

I haven't seen his power diminished so far in later rounds.. GGG is not a volume puncher and paces his rounds so that he doesn't gas out.. he has those old school European fighters strategy of breaking your opponent round by round.. He may not be as heavy handed as Lemieux but he has mostly what his opponents have described as thudding power..

You would have a lot of broken baseball bats, numb hands, and an oak tree with a bit of bark missing. It is a very dumb analogy.

The better question is how many rounds will Jacobs jaw last ?
