Comments Thread For: Golovkin Drops, Decisions Jacobs in Toughest Career Fight

[Ernie Mavers]

GGG is clearly declining. The Brook fight looms large in retrospect, what we saw that night should have been an indicator.

Jacobs fought GGG to a standstill, and its so damaging to GGG's resume, because now we know for a fact the man had not fought anybody, his entire image has been cultivated with weak competition.

He looked slow, his power did not have the same pop, and he was getting tagged by Jacobs, he also looked soft as ice cream to the body.

Jacobs won this fight in many peoples minds, and that alone drops GGG's stock, he is supposed to be a wrecking machine, and tonight, he looked past his sell by date, he was exposed by Jacobs during long stretches of the fight.

He won't be able to escape the name Danny Jacobs, people will question his manhood if he ducks the fight.

And all the people on these threads that kill ward for not taking the Kov rematch, I best here ALL of you call out GGG to give Jacobs a second bite at the apple.

I love how the people saying Jacobs won it probably said he wouldn't even make it 3 rounds. Extremely close fight I had it only 1 point for GGG.

[MrClutch85]

Jacobs gameplan was to win close RDS and put it in the hands of the judges....no one to blame but himself. Never seen a bigger heavier fighter move and back away frm a fighter who's supposedly a hype job.

Jacobs Athleticism was key to him winning coming into fight

When you think about it, those first 3 rounds were pretty much study rounds. Could have gone either way so that's a 3 point swing.

Regardless of the scorecard, Jacobs was the better man in there tonight.

Little G fans thinking about their illiterate hero's chances against Ca$hnelo:

[Superbee]

... 7-5 for Jacobs would have been enough...

That's what I got... 114 -113 Jacobs ...At that point I knew it could go either way though ...

[Jewish-Reptile]

There were a couple swing rounds in there, so I had no clue who would get the decision. Jacobs looked solid, but he didn't put an undeniable stamp on some crucial rounds that were pretty even.

This. I can agree Jacobs didn't win but I had him winning 114-113, exceptionally tight fight GGG just never really looked great tonight I think he's simply not as good as I thought he was he's generally exposed against skilled class boxers. He's still elite but Danny is on the same level, Pirog was a level above both.

Little G fans thinking it was back to NASCAR and the Hot Dog Eating Contest for them before the decision was announced:

So now what? Back to the plantation for you? Racism sucks doesn't it?

I also had the impression that Jacobs won...

... But now I saw the CompuBox punch stats:

Well, GGG got ouboxed overall.

But as you said, it's round by round, and you can find 6 rounds to give to GGG, and you can find 8 rounds to give to DJ.

So with the KD you can make a case that both fighters won.

DJ was impressive with all that taunting and energy he spent.

But he lost some rounds clearly, getting outjabbed, and not landing many punches clean, the 12th rounds is a plain and simple exemple.

I personnally want a rematch badly.

Just like Kov vs Ward.

Thanks for the smart eye compliment billy firstly....i want to add it was a close fight with a round separating them.....the reason why i thought golovkin just came up short is because he was missing an awful lot and not punching enough when in range.....to me golovkin looked flat and didnt have that edge he normally has...jacobs used movement and handspeed and took triple gggs best at the end of the dsy.....i think a rematch is in order
