Comments Thread For: Jacobs: Algieri's Upset of Provodnikov Inspiration for GGG Fight

[mrlopez]

Lol nope, not enough. Inspirations will be crushed by a Kazach fist this weekend

Not only not enough, but foolish to even compare the 2. Jacobs is grabbing at straws.

But may the best man win

As GGG said in a recent video, his opponent can dance or be quicker than him... until they get hit... Then all changes. I see a 1% chance for Jacobs to upset GGG... even if the latter had a terrible and sluggish fight against Brook...

lol doesn't danny realize that algieri was dropped twice and doing somersaults in the first round and was nearly stopped? he took a beating the whole fight algieri lost that fight if we're being honest!

Jacobs seems like a nice guy,it's fighters like him I like to see win,,i kind of would like to see him beat ggg,but I don't know if he will,he might be able to win the first couple of rounds,but these aren't 6 round fights,and little by little ggg's power will get to him,and I think golovkin will ko him like in the 8th or 9th round,,,

Jacobs of course got a punchers chance as he has good power , so ill give him just that , a punchers chance.
Lets hope to see a great fight , wont mind seeing GGG coming off the floor to win the fight!

Algieri be a one-dimensional fighter and, yes, it was a good fight &upset but if this is Jacob's motivation he better watch out...Algieri vs. Spence that's what's in store for him...

Provodnikov: "GGG can beat Ward"
GGG: "Pac beats Provodnikov easy. Different levels"

Jacobs has bigger obstacles to over compared to the Nutritionist.

If it were a street fight, then I think no sane person could say that Algieri won the fight. However, it was not a street fight, it was a boxing match, and every sport has a points system/scoring criteria, and according to the boxing scoring criteria, Algieri won almost every round except for like the first two or three rounds (been a long time since I watched the fight).

I remember scoring that fight and after getting the two KD's Provodnikov became extremely predictable, kept trying to land that left hook and kept missing the whole night while Algieri continued to tag him. Of course, Algieri's punches literally had no effect on Provodnikov, but that is not boxing scoring criteria (unless it's a KD).

Offense, defense, ring generalship, punches landed (effective aggression). Algieri dominated on all of those criteria.

It's like watching a soccer game where the one team hits the post 5 times, misses a three sitters, has 12 shots on target (saved), and the other team has only five shots of which only one was on target, and scores with that one shot on target and wins the game.

Doesn't matter that they were completely outplayed, the point scoring system in soccer requires that you put the ball in the back of the net or beyond the goal line. Similarly, doesn't matter that Provodnikov had way more power than Algieri or that he was coming forward the whole time, what matters is who was scoring according to the sport's scoring system.

This aint a street fight, it's the sport of boxing.
