Comments Thread For: Jacobs: An Illusion Has Been Created That I Can't Take a Punch

[damned1974]

Jacobs can say that Mora knockdown was a balance issue, but those legs don't lie when he got up! He was wobbled and on unsteady feet....I give Danny 5 rounds (and I am being generous!)...I would like him to win because I like his story, but GGG is meaner than cancer!

I can fully understand the Pirog fight, Im very good friends with a couple of fighters that went through a harrowing time right before a fight and they both lost just not mentally in the fight, so I can feel for Danny in this fight I truly can, but the thing that bothers me is the Mora knockdown, no matter how fit you are no matter how mentality focused you are a fighter cannot make his chin any stronger than what it is, Danny cannot get hit with really sold shots or its going to be all over, he has got to box the fight of his life and get his power shots on Gs chin and not take a big one, he has the ability and if luck is riding with him he has got a good shot of pulling the upset.

Its a great story and Id love to see Danny win to complete the fairytale, this is the stuff movies are made from truly inspiring from a man at deaths door, good luck to Danny Jacobs a real ambassador for the sport and lovely man from all I have seen of his personality and character.

Make no mistake about it! This is going to be a good fight! I still favor GGG by k.o. But Jacobs will have his own chances to win. One thing I'm pretty sure of, this fight won't go the distance and could be a barn burner for as long as it lasts!

I don't see how people watch Jacobs and see that he's on Golovkins level. Hes so sloppy on the attack.

Buster Douglas' mom died and he knocked Tyson out in one of the biggest upset in boxing history, so Jacob I am not sure you can use your grannies' death. All the best and hope you are focus on Saturday night.

Not saying it's a valid excuse, but it could've been mentally. And he was 23, very young still, he took it differently than Buster who was 30 years old when he upset Tyson. At 30 you'll take a death of a close loved one slightly easier than you would at 23. I know if I lost my mother at 23 I would not know how to handle it at that age, it would prob be hard to stay focused on life for a certain period of time after.

Well, people don't watch Jacobs and see he's on G's level. That's why he's a 7-1 underdog.

An illusion?

We all react different to different things, one guy does something doesn't mean engrave that in stone for everyone.

If you look at the way he went down his knees and ankles twisted in a weird way. He was a little unsteady but I don't think it was effects of the punch. The fact that he was going after Mora made me think he wasn't that hurt. With that being said, it was a silly mistake and he shouldn't have left himself open like that in the first place.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if Jacobs wins this fight. Having said that, I'm pretty certain Golovkin hits a tad harder than Sergio Mora does. Whether he was off balance, made a mistake or whatever, that's not the kind of mistake you can make against a puncher like "GGG". If he does, he'll be "Pirog'd" all over again. Maybe worse... Good luck to both fighters. Can't wait...

You act like Mora won

Jacobs got off the floor and stopped him....just like Tito did plenty times.

I'm sure I don't have to remind you how many times Tito has been dropped....hurt....and wobbled.
