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

[markfrombrookly]

Ughhh GGG weighed in at 170 so he was pretty much a Light Heavy himself. Just sayin.

Excellent night of boxing for me, couldn't have gotten better.

Fraud Gonzalez gets exposed
Fraud Golovkin gets exposed
And dishonourable Jacobs who skipped the second day weigh in gets robbed




It can't get better for me, tonight was great.

That decision was best for the sport

Robbery to secure the big money fight with GGG vs Canelo. I had Jacobs winning by at least 2 rds also 8 to 4 in favor of Jacobs. Robbery.

Jacobs boxed better than I thought he could, he really used his attributes of length, athleticism and speed to good use better than I thought he was capable.

I had a light bet on Jacobs, mainly playing the odds. I felt he needed to close the show better to really secure a win he kind of let the last rounds slip away. Close fight though Jacobs came up and Golovkin was rather flat but I think Jacobs length and athleticism caused Golovkin problems, if he can get the Canelo fight I thought Canelo was a more sound boxer than Jacobs but he doesn't have length on Golovkin or great athleticism although he has decently fast hands.

I don't think since he got dropped DJ won clearly more than 7 rounds in order to win that fight.

A lot of rounds are close.


Nothing wrong in dropping a close debatable decision to DJ.

Hop had the same with JT and I don't think Jermain Tyalor is a better fighter than D Jacobs.

ESPN scored it for GGG as did Boxingscene...GGG was the aggressor and landed more punches and clearly hurt Jacobs several times. Jacobs was by far the bigger man, he should of fought like it and not backed up so much.. Scared of that power!

[RussB23]

GGG still gives canelo a beating though if canelo grows some balls. jacobs>canelo.

I can see people giving some close rounds to Jacobs, but he missed alot of shots and hit the arms. GGG hammered in the jab all night, especially early.

Close fight but I still thought GGG won a close but clear 7-5, or maybe even a draw + a KD.

This is proof that chin triangle theories dont work. I've seen guys go the distance with harder punchers and stopped by lighter punchers. Even Rigo was hurt more by Merroquin than the harder hitting Donaire. The Pirog fight was nothing to bank Jacob's chin on. The other theory is the weigh in behavior. Jacobs chewing gum....so what? He just fought a great fight. Rigo wouldnt give eye contact to Donaire during their weigh in which meant nothing in the fight.

Good post agreed
