    Jacobs goes from getting dropped by Mora to withstanding Golovkin.

    Someone explain this HUGE improvement in Jacobs chin, because whatever it is maybe Khan might want some. His chin literally went from like a 2 to 8.

    He got dropped by a GGG punch that really didn't look that bad.

    After that, not many bombs landed. He just got out-jabbed.

      Again with the "chin" and "power" logic as if those were the only relevant factors in producing KOs.

      First, Jacobs chin is not as bad as some were making it out to be. Secondly, Jacobs got careless against Mora, enabling him to land a flush counter punch Danny didn't see. In contrast, Danny was super aware and careful with GGG, yet he still went down.

      If GGG would've landed the punch Mora did on Danny, he would've been out for the count, but obviously he didn't, and that's a credit to Danny.

        Golovkin didn't land many big, clean shots on Jacobs' chin. Just goes to show, every opponent, every fight, every night is different

          I do wonder what Jacobs rehydrated to though. He looked at least a full division larger.

              That's exactly what I was thinking, he was massive compared to GGG.

                but his defence was top notch, beside knockdown, golovkin didn't really land many bombs

                  Golovkin was only really successful with the jab.

                  KD aside, he didn't land many big shots.
