Jacobs was heavier than Ward vs Dawson

[Hype job]

Some people seem really gutted about Golovkin's performance. I've seen nothing positive said about anything he did...

He beat Jacobs clearer than Ward "beat" Kovalev, but that didn't stop you from coming on here weeks after the fight bragging and calling people on here "salty".

Gennady should implement a rehydration clause from here on out.

He looked big even for a SMW. He is the same height as Kovalev/Ward and looked just as bulked.

Wouldn't the best solutions be to just make sure the fighters are hydrated before weighing in?

Then guys would have to either fight in their weight class, or maintain a committed diet to stay in the weight class they wish to campaign at, like Hopkins did.

Sure it would, but how would you know when someone is fully hydrated? We force-feed them IVs like Floyd until it comes out of their eyeballs?

Btw, Hopkins did stay committed to his weight class, but he was also cutting weight to make it.

Or at least as heavy as him.

Jacobs 8 am on saturday weighed 176 pounds according to his team. Maybe 178-180 on fight night?

Ward fighting at 168, weighed 176 against Dawson.

Golovkin fought against a super mw on saturday.

Will this sport ever do something about weight cheaters?

I think all organizations should adopt the next morning weigh in, like in the IBF.
Once all of them are using it, it will be easier to move it into the afternoon or just before the fight. Cheaters will think twice before cutting 20 pounds to make weight. They would have to fight half drained, weakened, or fight on the division they belong.

if you are going to cry about jacobs being big, imagine if ggg grows a pair and moves 1 division up for the first time in his career.. zurdo a heavyweight doe.... but but he will dominate 168 easy doe...
Ggg fought a mw and a ww in his last 2 fights, stop making up fairy stories and deal with it...
If ggg doesnt like being outweighed then move down to 154 where there are better fighters or else STFU...

I don't think the weight disparity was all that much on fight night. GGG weighed in at 170 in the morning on fight night. That gave him a chance to rehydrate a little more. GGG looked about 175 and Jacobs looked to be about 180.

According to HBO GGG was 170 on their unoffical scale. So he gained .4lbs from morning weigh in to fight night. Jacobs team said he was 176 the morning of. So going by HBO scale logic Jacobs was 176.4 lbs on fight night

GGG dropped a LHW and outlanded him despite the height, reach, and weight advantages that Jacobs had.

Sit them down in a room, make them drink fluids, when they stop putting on extra weight, consider them hydrated.

You do know that 170 is LHW, right?

When you make this many excuses about your performance in a win... you know it wasn't exactly a win.
