If you thought Danny won....

Lol 1, 2 and 3? Golovkin was controlling the ring those rounds

Anyways, because of the knockdown, Jacobs would have to had won 8 rounds. There is just no way that Golovkin only won 4 rounds and to be honest it's kind of absurd to suggest or claim that.

Jacobs could still win the fight with 7 rounds. Knockdown only makes a difference in a 6-6 fight.

GGG won 4 of the first 6 (including KD) and at least 9 & 12

I just dont understand how people gave the 1st to Jacobs.

Bodywork. Stop ignoring Jacobs' shots to the body. Watch it again.

This is a very interesting thread, and seeing how people score fights is always entertaining/educational/depressing (*delete as appropriate). I'm sensing that GGG getting the decision is pretty much the right call to have made and that there are no real problems with that. That said, anyone who gives all the first 3 rounds to Jacobs needs to take a good, hard long look at themselves

[brettWall]

I rewatched the fight and I was wrong with my first assessment wherein I said Jacobs won. There were 2-3 rounds where Jacobs clearly won. Other rounds were even and the rest were close rounds where GGG had clear or slight edge. I was looking for at least 5 rounds for Jacobs and when it's hard to see it, then you'd rather just forget about it, accept the decision and move on.

Please tell me the seven or eight rounds you had him winning . Just give me 7 numbers thx. Edit. Only for people who attemped to score it unbiasedly( which means u probably needed to watch it twice as i did)

it was close and could have gone to dj. no robbery but no landslide either. no kd and who knows......

No. Golovkin did not win round 1, I'm sorry. And I did rewatch it again on a non-English broadcast and saw what I saw the first time - body work.

Jacobs landed beautiful body shots and his defense was on point. He got hit, but largely by jabs. The effective aggression was Jacobs, not G. The reason they gave it to G was because G was constantly on the move forward and Jacobs was staying away. They punished Jacobs for what they thought was running when in reality, he was more effective with power shots in the round.

Same thing happened in round 8. There was one flurry by G; Jacobs slipped every single punch on the ropes, came back and assaulted the body again. Other than that, G was ineffective. They gave it to G because again, Jacobs was on the backfoot most of the round.


The judges basically gave G rounds where Jacobs didn't 100% engage despite Jacobs landing the more crisp shots. That's BS.

Crisp shots? He didnt commit to a single punch all night. Im moving on. JUDGES GOT IT RIGHT
