Very well saidBoxing scoring is subjective. There's no scoreboard in this "sport". A basket doesn't equal 2 points and a goal isn't one point.
You dudes drive yourselves crazy trying to shove your opinions as facts down everybody's throats. These 7-5/8-4 fights can be swung in the other direction by disagreements on a round or 2.
It all comes down to a combination of who and what you like better.
Both these guys fought well and will go on to earn multi-million dollar paydays.Comment

Ggg won the fight. People seem to be in shock that the number 2 middleweight took the number 1 the distance. I told everyone Jacobs was a threat but people dismissed me.was Unbeaten in 7 yearsComment

Yeah. I thought he took round one as well. But good lord, every poster on here swore Jacobs took it, except for Loadwraps I think. He kept it real the whole fight, as did you.you have to remember most people who are slick fans think simply surviving=winning. they think if a guy is playing keep away that means hes winning but a boxing matchc is scored based on punches and for example in roudn 1 ggg landed more punches, landed better punches yet many gave it to jacobs because he kept away from ggg for the most part.Comment

I think there is something in this. Certainly there was the tension that he was letting rounds slip and i think in a sense it kinda swayed the way i viewed the fight. Instead of seeing what Golovkin may or may not have been doing...all i could think of during each passing round was...this must be the round he knocks ehim out. I was becoming so absorbed by impatience that when it never happened i felt deflated...kinda let down in a way. Golovkins air of invincibilty may have gone...but i still believe in him as a fighter and am glad he has finally found a level where he is going to have work rather than go thru the motions. This could be the beginning of some serious challenges and i hope he hasnt been spooked. Having said that...well done danny...that was some good looking shoe shining...but jab up and jab down was just a distraction...not a fight plan.I think those wide barrages jacobs was throwing that mostly landed on GGG's arms were being counted as aggression (or even as landed punches?) by a lot of people and GGG was so low output that there was tension about him letting rounds slip... still he slightly edged out the meaningful shots and got a knockdown
definitely wasn't GGG's best performance but other than showing up huge jacobs didn't really do anything exceptional either
would say rematch but i'd much rather seen ggg canelo and i think everyone else would tooComment

This fight strikes a lot of similarities to Floyd/Manny back in 2015. Exact same technical issues.
Always thought that was debatable and I feel the same here.Comment
