Comments Thread For: Jacobs Explains Missing IBF's Second-Day Weigh-In for GGG Fight

[Simurgh]

That's some more bull**** Golovkin fans are running with suddenly Jacobs is "Elite" now. You guys really are pathetic. Not that it really matters, die hard fans will make excuses whatever. What matters is the rest of the boxing worlds opinion and casuals opinion, Golovkins stock took a huge hit. The aura of invincibility is gone.

I dont know why you appear frustrated and angry

If you believe GGG is not good, just dont watch him and that's end of it.

Jacobs is an elite MW. He clearly showed that in his last two fights if no before. Once again, I dont think you are right with your estimate of what 'boxing world' thinks. Most experts have Gennady winning this one clearly. Yes he didnt KO jacobs which was a bit of a surprise, but he did knocked him down and hurt multiple times.

If the 'aura od invinibility' has prevented Canelo to step up in he ring, I am quite happy it's gone

I my eyes, Gennady gets a lot of credit for his victory as well as Jacobs for the great performance.

Who needs scales? We have Golovkin fans, send your pics in to them guys.

[SilverMiles]

No i don't need you to. Carry on in your own little ******ed world.

Fine by me but my services are always open if you want a better understanding of boxing organization rules, regulation both complicated and non-complicated.

Peace.

The issue with him skipping the second weigh-in has been blown up.

He made the weight for the limit weigh-in and the rule about the rehydration limit isn't consistent across the board, so I don't consider it cheating, though I guess it's a little sketchy to not inform your opponent, who IS doing the 2nd weigh-in - but in this case, Golovkin easily makes the 2nd one anyway.

But whilst I don't have much issue with it, his bigger size does factor into the narrative of the fight. He was clearly much bigger than GGG which it seems made him absorb the punches better. If you think about it, he was a weight class bigger but fought on the backfoot and was being walked down all fight by a smaller guy. Maybe he should have taken more risks.

He should have said that before the first weight in. Respect the cheater. Good thing he lost. I would have respected him and probably felt bad for, but he took unfair advantage.

Agreed, mfer cheat got what he deserved - L. back in line now.

GGG won get over it lmao even with the age and size advantage GGG beat him. stop crying

You understand nothing. I know what ****** shit you were going to say and thought i'd save you the embarrassment of you saying they'd "sanction a MW fight without their MW title on the line"

[Chrismart]

''I respect all [sanctioning bodies] and their rulings.'' ..But i'm just gonna ignore some of those rulings

I'm not a fan of what he did, or what Lemeiux did the weekend before. But, now it's all said and done, it didn't matter. Golovkin got the win and the ball keeps rolling.

You weirdo GGG fans are hilarious. Only the IBF has this stipulation. He made weight (at an early weigh-in btw). It doesn't matter that he missed a second weigh-in on the day of the fight.

Until boxing goes back to same day weigh-ins there's nothing to see here. Just another reason to try and justify why GGG looked ordinary against Danny.

And all this he weighed 185 stuff is nonsense. He looked 175 - 180 at the most. They're aren't many guys who can rehydrate 25 lbs in a day.(Brook comes to mind. Not aware of any others).

Well which is it? To my mind, with Golovkin at 170 I'm damn sure that Jacobs looked a lot bigger than just a 5lbs difference.

Lets split the difference - I'm saying that Jacobs was at least 180 and possible a few more pounds.

If he was at 182 lbs thats a 12lb difference equivalent to a weight class.

Nothing illegal in that but it explains why Golovkin's power had less effect. Or at least partially explained.

Rehydrate 25lbs in a day ?? - except it wasn't a day it was 36 hours. So he could rehydrate 16lbs the first 24 hours and 8 lbs the following 12 hours.

Who cares? He lost, on to the next one. He could have been 200 pounds and he would have lost. GGG is just the better fighter
