[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Keith Idec - NEW YORK Daniel Jacobs understands why what happened the night of July 31, 2010, shapes skeptics' opinions of how he'll fare against Gennady Golovkin. The lone blemish on Jacobs' professional record is indisputable.

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...

is not an illusion

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.

Jacobs has taking Lorenzo's shots pretty well so he might not be as chinny as we think

Never said they were. I am saying is either he's making an excuse or he is a poor decision maker. Going into a fight poorly prepared, what do you expect, the other guy to pity you? His reason could be legit, but saying it now just made him sound like a sore loser.

All fight fans are guilty of bringing up triangle theories, past performances, past perceptions, misconceptions, you name it. I'm confident Jacobs is prepared, and will make a good accounting of himself, no matter how the fight ends up. And yes, this is the toughest test yet for GGG, right after his second toughest test. So yeah, anything can happen.
