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

[vaynardevil]

Easy to be a Monster and exciting versus lesser guys.

There's nothing special about Jacob as a boxer, and yet look at how GGG looked when he finally goes in there with someone above decent, he turned into a Boring ass fighter. Abandoned his super aggrieve style, and fought timid compared to how he usually fights.

1 thing for sure
it mean he felt jacobs power, his speed is twice faster than golovkin anyway lol

but ain't no way jacobs win that fight, it was close fight, not really convincing for golovkin class, i don't mind a rematch

i agree rematch should happen
golovkin should forget mayweather or ward tbh
he's too slow atm

Stop, I didn't think he won either but he'd absolutely k.o Floyd

Jacobs won that fight. Feel for Jacobs. Getting booed by Americans in his some town and they are supporting the foreigner. Americans are the worst fans in the sport.

He was still aggressive. Jacobs just did a good job of slipping shots and moving side to side.

Golovkin looked like crap but still edged it out. Not a good look for him at all.

Damn ya'll give Jacobs zero credit..like he's not bigger and faster. Come on, Jacobs is a champion with one loss for a reason, he ain't no walk in the park for anyone.

Guys gotta be honest here, I had a lot of alcohol on my body but I really saw a very human GGG having a hundred problems cutting off the ring..........................................and I'm a huge GGG fan, is this the alcohol??? or I saw a vulnerable Golovkin.

Well drinky, GGG is showing his age with his legs. At this point it is going to be tough to consistently catch up to defensive movers like Jacobs who have good defense.

But GGG's bigger flaw in this fight was neglecting the body and headhunting at times. It's something he can and will work on if a rematch is in the future. Golovkin won and showed he is still the best.

Just like the krusher....

For any idiots that think Canela now has a chance to beat GGG , think about this. GGG took every heavy shot landed by Jacobs , a bigger stronger puncher than Canela will ever be. Maybe Oscar and Canela wont **** around now that they think they have a chance to win. Or maybe GGG was just ****ing with them not looking great on purpose so they develop the cojones to fight him.

That was a terrible performance by GGG, he looked disengaged, uninterested, methodical and robotic. Danny Jacobs was awesome. What really separated him from GGG- was his energy. His motor was on 1000%. He was fighting with so much intensity and passion, constantly taunting GGG and getting hyped after rounds.

With that said, in his absolute worst fight, GGG still did enough to win, IMO. He definitely did not get outboxed all night like people are saying. That's ridiculous lol. GGG outlanded Jacobs like 75-25 in jabs?

I think Jacobs energy and intensity created the illusion that he was doing more than he was. There's no doubt he fought a great fight, but I don't think GGG was ever really in trouble. Jacobs definitely neutralized GGG's activity with his movement and offensive retaliation after nice defensive maneuvers, but GGG was comfortable picking Jacobs off with his jab for 12 rounds.

I think GGG looked bad in the sense that he did not fight to his styles full capability tonight, however, I must say... I am pretty impressed that he managed to get a decision against an elite boxer. I mean, that's basically the toughest test there is for GGG out there aside from Ward? It was his first time seeing an elite boxer with those skills, and even though his "seek and destroy" was not so destructive tonight, he managed to adapt, stay patient and win in a way we haven't seen in a long time. GGG's jab is the only thing that kept him in the fight, and he worked it perfectly.
