Comments Thread For: Jacobs: Golovkin's Power Isn't What It Was Made Out to Be

[Butch.McRae]

You GGG fanboys are truly fragile. This is what a fight looks like with two competent fighters. I know it's hard for you all to comprehend since you've been watching the likes of Wade, Monroe, Stevens, and Lemieux. It was obvious in the Brook fight that GGG's power is really exaggerated (that guy is a WW).

GGG has solid power and has great punching technique. Against an average pro that looks like amazing power. Just look at Danny against his last 10 opponents. It's the same thing. There's nothing wrong with that. He's still a damn good boxer.

GGG fans: "It's because Jacobs was 200 pounds on fight night"

So Boxing is now considered running?

Jacobs landing hard body and head shots is running now?

Jacobs throwing and landing more power shots is running lol

I been saying this for years! Golovkin isnt the hardest hitter! he is slow and methodical, plodding and has no defense!

You guys even got mad at me when I said that, I even got a Temp ban for saying that GGG isn't devastating puncher like Jacobs, Kid Chocolate or Lemuix or even stevens, GGG shocks people because of his aura they freeze up, Jacobs was fearless, my only gripe with Jacobs is he moved too much and I knew he could blast GGG I knew they would rob him, in the rematch I hope Jacobs sits down more and uses his inside slip game, dont move as much stand your ground and pussh GGG back and im not a hater of GGG just an honest guy im not a pro black who just hates on non blacks I never diss fighters and insult them who are not trash personalities, but I keep it boxing. GGG lost that fight

I agree with most of what you said. Golovkin isn't a one punch KO kind of puncher. He has thudding power that breaks you down however I think Danny fought the fight he needed to. He sits down that gives Golovkin opportunities. It just wasn't enough last night.

I'm a GGG fan, he's my favourite boxer but the fanboys on here do my head in.
He won a very close fight, personally I gave it to Jacobs, I thought he edged it by a point or two.
Both are world class fighters and both deserve respect.

Jacobs has been shown nothing but respect from fans and his opponent but this is the third quote where he's speaking absolute jibberish, its almost like the Tim Bradley situation. STFU your stock went up and you are ruining it. "I got hit with a punch behind the ear and didn't know if I was down" only to counter "his power isn't what it was made out to be" Well which one is it? You get punched and don't know if you hit the canvas or not but his power isn't shh? C'mon.

i don't think golovkins power is no where near as great when he steps up as oppose to fighting no hopes.


thats the real problem

This is the right answer. no doubt he has power but against bums you can get away with just that. As you move up in class and level of opponents who has some skill they can limit your power and GGG doesn't have much to fall back on when that happens. That's why according to him he's faced his best 2 opponents and one a welterweight turned his face to hamburger meat and the other a chinny decent middleweight not know for boxing skills known as a slugger was able to EASILY out box him and avoid his power. What happens against better more skilled fighters?

[Pechorin]

Fights scared the whole fight... "he don't punch that hard doe."

[Thutch2412]

No one on this site should take back anything they said prior to the fight last night, especially about GGG. I've been saying on here for a while now GGG is nothing special, he's not even a 1st ballot HOFer lmfao........you guys got fooled by the media unfortunately, same boxing "experts" that claimed Jacobs would get knocked out within the first few rounds had ya'll believing that hype for years now unfortunately.

Jacobs was respect GGG power as well. if GGG did hit so hard why Did he move so much? Jacobs was about 180-185 fight time!

[Butt stuff]

Jacobs comes across really well, good ambassador for the sport whether he won or not. Looked really sharp and strong last night.
