GGG wants to finish the fight early

[Redd Foxx]

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.

Yea^.

The thing that really concerns me is not even just his chin, but the behaviors that expose his chin. Look what he was doing when Mora nailed him. He had that right hand ****ed back FOREVER like he was straight out of casting for BunFights 2016. You'll rarely see a pro boxer pull a move like that. He was looking Sergio dead-on when that punch landed but he still didn't see it coming.
What is he going to do when he's catching combos from Golovkin and the pain from a left hook to the body distracts him? The follow-up right will just finish him off.


If I were coaching Jacobs I'd emphasize stifling Golovkin's attack and then circling heavily, as Brook did. Golovkin's posture and footwork is just open to it. If Danny finds the same opportunities Brook did, it will be a real fight. It's up to Golovkin not to allow that (and I think he's smart enough to ensure it won't happen).

psssh, ggg a *****

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.

Pirog just shifted once in that fight and Danny didn't know what hit him... (it wasn't even about "pressure"...)

I also think the ropes is GGG's best bet. That's where Jacobs gets rekless. Whether he's the one on them or his opponent. He gets reckless regardless. Lol

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...

Im pretty sure this has been the plan from the get-go. Lol

Yea, all respect for the Quillen win but I remember thinking, damn, he's got this guy hurt but if Pete counters, he might drop him because Danny is leaning over, hands-down, chin-out...
Thankfully it didn't happen that way but it sure did in Mora I!

I know the GG goon squad is demanding we speak of Jacobs as a thunder-fisted slickster but he's just not slick. He lacks fluidity and discipline. I'll be rooting for him. I love his story. But, there's a reason I never got hyped about him and I'm not going to change my mind now just because a bunch of insecure fanboys want to pressure me into it.

this is true, but hey delaholic might need dat get out of jail money, and he's already spent the chavez jnr money on bolivia's finest sniff

He was looking Sergio dead-on when that punch landed but he still didn't see it coming.

I also meant to comment on this. If you watch the Pirog KO, he was looking directly at the punch too. I mean, it looks as if he blinded himself with his own left then saw the punch once it started coming. He still got caught though.

If you skip to :27 you can see how his left hand covers up Pirog's right hand.

I usually wouldn't laugh at a problem like this but that ****er is driving around drunk. No sympathy.

True, true. I kind of wrote it off as Pirog was a badass so no shame in getting finished by him. Danny looked to be feinting the jab to land a strong right (they were both throwing the same thing but Pirog got there first) and he'd already committed himself to the combo. But, when you look at it in the context of a history of behaviors, it starts to make you wonder about his reflexive instincts, his chin, and the fact that he's not posturing himself in a way that protects his chin. Look at what we was doing to defend from that series of punches and Pirog was shifting stances, Danny's response was to tense up and grimace, then when he threw back he somehow ignored that Pirog was still firing. It's like his back hit the ropes and his mind just said, "Bomb's away!".
