How Does Jacobs Defeat Golovkin?...

[boliodogs]

Jacobs should pull down his shorts and ask Gennady if they really want to go there. Brownsville Thunder! Meanwhile Lomachenko is playing tic tac toe on a white board singing "car wash yeah!"

Why do you say ****** things that have nothing to do with the sujbect? You seem to live in your own weird fuced up world. What you wrote makes no sense at all and isn't funny either. It's just more ****** nonsense from a terrible poster.

Bring a helmet and a bat with him and pray GGG doesn't catch him in the chin.

I voted he should go out guns blazing. He will lose by KO no matter what he does but going for broke and catching GGG cold is his best chance to win in my opinion. Jacobs can throw a wicked barrage of fast hard punches as he did when he KOed Quillen. I don't think Jacobs can go 12 rounds and win on points. GGG is too relentless in his pursuit and his left jab and overall boxing skills are too good for that to happen. GGG doesn't tire or fade in the late rounds. Quit the opposite. He comes on even stronger.

Punch him repeatedly until he falls down, if he doesn't fall down he's gonna have to punch him repeatedly for 12 rounds, making sure he outlands his opponent round by round. He needs to do this while trying to avoid his opponents punches as much as possible and clinch if he's in trouble.

All jokes aside.

Go guns blazing in the first round, hurt GGG, make him cautious of his power.

One thing GGG has no respect for is boxers who can't punch, so he puts the pressure on them. You can just tell GGG's body language against weak punchers, he's very confident and just knows nothing will happen to him because they can't hurt him or outbox him.

Jacobs will have to establish that this won't be the case in their fight. He has to make him taste the power immediately. He also has to jab, he can't just be a powerful guy like Lemiuex with no jab.

Survive an early barrage, focus on G's body, stiff jabs, finish strong...easy peasy

Come out hard and fast in rounds one and two, then stick and move, and work in the uppercut. Forget the body, he will have to get too close to land effective body punches and risks getting countered with something big. Keep turning him and make him follow you.

Try jumping on GGG early, and then backing off and using the jab overtime if he cant hurt GGG at the onset. Box, box, box, and use angles if possible and lateral movement. Gloves up high, no macho sht by exchanging. If hurt, dont fire back, recoup and find moments to time GGG.

GGG seems really good at getting his right hand over the top from range against tall opponents, so I worry that Jacobs won't be able to slip the jab without getting timed. Of course, none of GGG's tall opponents were great punchers (Murray, Ishida... Simon!) and Jacobs might stand a chance thanks to hand-speed. But getting timed is not usually down to sloppy hand-speed alone... He's gonna have to be very sharp on the night to avoid 2 punches in particular, I think:
- the right over the top
- short left, if he comes in

Boxing at range, in and out, is his only chance, I feel. Gonna be hard for him not to get walked down, if he boxes like that tho!!

[Boxfan83]

He needs to keep GGG turning in the centre of the ring, beat him to the jab or counter over the top of his jab. His speed, reflexes and reach are his path to victory

^^^this^^^ of course its easier said than done but this is the way. Jacobs needs to gain respect early too. Sharp counters around the guard on the ear should do it.
