I agree, it was a treat for fans. Excellent night of fights!

I think whenever a guy is expected to blow the other guy out of the water by a large amount of people, but instead the fight is very competitive and close, people tend to score the underdog more favorably because of the fact that they are doing better than expected. I can think of numerous examples such as Eric Morales vs Maidana, where everyone assumed Morales was totally shot and even protested the fight because they feared it was such a massive mismatch and yet the fight turned out extremely competitive, I remember how many people were screaming robbery but if you watch the fight objectively it was clearly a fight Maidana won (and I'm not saying this fight was anything like that, simply using it as an example when a lot of fans scored favorably to the underdog just because he did a lot better than expected). I see that happening here on boxingscene simply because Golovkin didn't destroy Jacobs.

Jacobs though is the #2 middleweight for a reason - he's a good fighter. He fought hard and very passionately. He's be a long way since getting best by Pirog years ago, and I already thought that showed by his 12 fight KO streak, but tonight he really proved it. I had a feeling over the past several weeks this was going to be a good one and i certainly walked away feeling satisfied and got my money's worth. I think Jacobs earned the respect of millions of people which is great because I believe he did well enough to deserve a rematch, which they might as well since Canelo won't fight till the end of the year at the earliest.

Dat should roll in your avi doe

Wtf were you idiots watching smdh??? Ya'll thought jacobs won???? Fuckn ******s. You have to 'take' the champions belt !!! At no point in that fight was jacobs ever winning, and he got knocked down, AND he never had GGG wobbled or in trouble smh. I scored the fight 115-112 exactly like 2 other judges. I think ya'll Jacobs fanboys got caught up in the commentary and Harold Ledermans scorecard. I also didn't agree with Harold giving Jacobs the first 2 rounds when there wasn't any substantive action going on. GGG unanimously won, a good fight where he knocked the other guy down, and GGG was never hurt or on spaghetti legs NOT EVEN ONCE. To ya'll even whispering the word robbery; GTFOH wit that bull***** !

Wrong, he should have stopped him by the fourth or fifth but allowed Jacobs to survive. The irony of it all is so amazing to me. Before the fight, nobody on this forum gave Jacobs a chance; Much less his fan boys. They pretty much predicted Knockout #34. Now that he has been exposed, the same ones want to walk back their previous comments. However, I'll give GGG his due. The judges awarded him the fight but you are right. I predicted the right winner. So that's all that should matter to me.

According to who?you and a bunch of other ****ing morons here? Who the hell are they to say when he should KO somebody or else the win is no good?

GGG was avoiding Danny's punches without moving and flopping around the ring, or clinching.

Danny was in survival mode in that fight, with lots of heart and lots of shoe-shining. He collapsed at the end with exhaustion. He had no balance for the last third of that fight.

He had a good middle segment where he won a few round.

BUT HE DID NOT WIN THAT FIGHT.

No way Golovkin won that fight, he's past his prime, Jacobs was better and he had speed advantage

[Mammoth]

I immediately want to see Jacobs against DeGale for some reason

No rematch. Canelo's next.

Rematch Jacobs in December.

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

Danny was brilliant, GGG wasn't and looked ordinary, agreed.

The thing is GGG edged the close rounds with his jab.

And that's what people are missing IMO.

Even if overall GGG got outboxed, he grabbed some rounds with his jab, knew when he had to push a bit to get the round.
GGG boy is smart.

Jacobs lacks experience, he lost most of the 6 first rounds (I gave GGG the 1st,3rd, 4th*and 5th) and got dropped.

Then lost the 12th, he should have won this fight he had the momentum but made it close.

He can't have a close fight with the HBO hyped champion.

Jacobs really impressed me!... I thought that the scorecards were all in his favor (before they announced the winner's name)...

Afterwards I just checked the CompuBox stats: GGG was ahead...

god you're ******

boxrec is a fk'ing absurd way to score a fight

you stated earlier that when you watched that fight you thought Jacobs won

well, if you thought that Jacobs won the fight...... but then changed your mind immediately after checking compubox..... then you Sir, are a DUMBASS !!

get a clue
