I don't get all the hype for Jacobs being a live dog in this fight to be honest.
I like the guy and he is a decent fighter, but GGG is pretty damn good at cutting the ring and walking guys down.
Jacobs just won't get time to counter enough IMO and his jab is not enough to check GGG.Comment

He wasn't KOed. He just said **** it, I got paid. I am done with Arum's bull****.
Name some boxers from Jamaica, Queens.Comment

I did look at the article. Tbf, you have a point - if the judges had 'em up, then in some twisted sense, yes they were outboxing their opponents. However, I take "outboxing" to include the subtleties of laying traps and luring opponents in... or do you think both those KOs were accidents?
I'm not saying points don't matter period. I'm saying POINTS DON'T MATTER IF YOU GET KNOCKED THE **** OUT. Points only mean something if you can make to the end of the goddamn fight. Therefore, Brook and Khan were not outboxing their opponents because the way that they were boxing evidently led to Khan being slept and Brook being hospitalised.
Such a **** argument.
"Oh well, you know, imagine an alternate universe where Khan and Brook didn't get taken out, they might've won!! They were boxing better, after all, look at the judge's cards!! It says so right there, they were winning!!!!"Comment

The reality is this. It's one thing when you're totally down on the cards and then get knocked out. That's a blowout. Mayweather/Hatton comes to mind.
But it's another thing when you're literally getting outboxed round to round and then manage to knock your opponent out. Wilder/Szpilka comes to mind.
The perception of the fans is not the knockout. It's the fact you were getting outboxed for some reason. Why do you think so many people on NSB think Wilder gets sparked by top heavys and don't really care about his KO ratio? It's because against B level fighters he's getting outboxed.
Here's another example. Pacquiao/Marquez.
Nobody believes Manny truly beat Dinamita because he was getting outboxed in three of the four fights and got knocked out in the fourth one - after getting dropped and half outboxed. The focus is the knockout only because of so many rounds passing where Manny was getting outboxed.
Summary: It's all about how bad you lose, not the loss itself.
Khan's KO was brutal and expected. Brook got helped by his corner, but the only thing on people's mind isn't the stoppage, it's situations like this that nobody saw coming - even G:
