GGG wants to finish the fight early

[-Kev-]

Jacobs is so chinny that GGG can probably pull it off.

Like Miranda, we've seen Jacobs KO lower level dudes, but we haven't seen him KOing top 10 MW's outside of Quillin who was average. We saw Miranda breaking then top 5 MW Abraham's jaw and possibly TKO'ing him if it wasn't for AA's corner convincing the ref to overturn the stoppage after the ref had waived it because Abraham told him he doesn't want to continue.

Some people are fixated at Jacobs power, but they're not thinking about what if GGG decides to turn up the heat and take one from Jacobs just to land on Jacobs' weak chin and end the fight earlier than some people think?

I think the fight ends for Jacobs in rounds 5-8, but who knows, GGG can go in there guns blazing not giving an F about Jacobs power and just blow right through him in 2 rounds.

Going out guns blazing is much more riskier for Jacobs than it is for GGG. GGG is probably well aware of both, the Quillin fight where Jacobs blasted him, and the Pirog and Mora fights where Jacobs vulnerable chin/recovering issues showed.

Just because he wants to end it early it doesn't mean he wants to go out there swinging.

Anyway, it's in GGG's best interest, IMO anyway, to drag the fight a little longer. When was the last time Jacobs got to the late rounds in a fight? I genuinely dunno.

Not really, well...

If he KO's him early, the haters will say ' Jacobs was crap to begin with'

If he Ko's him late, or takes him to the cards

' lil g was exposed'

He's in a no win situation.

Also if he KO's the 2nd best MW on the planet in a round, will Delaholhic be so keen to chuck his goldenboy in with him?

If he get's dropped by Jacob's and struggles to a late TKO or decision, he will likely jump at the chance to put Canelo in with him.

It's a double edged sword whatever happens tbf.

Hence his popularity. No running or clinching, no surviving 12 rounds to eek out a decision or doing just enough to win. Win decisively and give the fans a good show.

Well, when I said best interest I wasn't thinking about fanbases or people's opinions, just him winning the fight.

Well like i said, if he looks bad maybe it works better for him in getting the Canelo fight...

If he sparks him in a round, i highly doubt we'll see it in september and will likely be pushed back till golovkins nearly 40...

Pretty much.

It's a shame this fight isn't on CBS. This is the kind of fight that so-called "casuals" would get excited about watching.

[al-Xander]

No way this fight will go to the distance. Unless one of them is hiding some Lara running skill for 12 rounds.

GG's pressure is more than just damage, it's about getting you against the ropes, right where he wants you. Jacobs is unlikely to have much to offer a hard-pressuring GGG. It's Golovkin's his pauses and limited defensive footwork when he gets hit. Watch when his opponents use lateral footwork. I've been saying that for years. If he pressures Danny he can likely put him away early, so long as he doesn't expend all his energy.

So many are predicting this will be like the Golovkin that fought Lemieux. Why? Lemieux and Jacobs are nothing alike. DL has no footwork or reflexes, but he does have a better chin. You wouldn't fight Jacobs that same way. You don't jab a powerful, rangey, counter-puncher to death. If he lets Danny maintain space and get a rhythm, that's where he'll find himself in trouble.

Among the rumors in the fight hotel lobby is talk @GGGBoxing wants to finish @DanielJacobsTKO early to scuttle the Brook fight concerns.

what do you guys think about this?

It's hard to picture GGG getting in a hurry. He's usually very methodical. Even in his second round TKO of Antonio Rubio, he didn't appear to be in a hurry. I think he'll take his time and he should. Greatness can't be rushed.

[Joe Beamish]

I think there's going to be a lot of fighting early. First two rounds will see fireworks. This isn't a take-your-time kind of fight. Both fighters want to deploy their weapons, which in this case means nasty power. Openings and counters will happen right away. Someone's hitting the floor by the 5th round, maybe for good.
