Triple cabdriver vs black Glass Joe meticulously analyzed:
Round 1: 12:04 GGG lands a stiff jab. 12:06 DJ lands a jab, GGG tries to reciprocate but misses. 12:20 GGG lands another stiff jab. 12:23 DJ lands a jab to the forehead. 12:32 GGG lands a third good jab, DJ counters with a light jab. 12:38 GGG wins the exchange. 12:43 A light jab on GGG's chin and away. 12:47 DJ's jab can't reach its target but then the punch changes its trajectory, heading to GGG's stomach. GGG turtles up, DJ delivers a bodyshot. 12:58 DJ headbutts GGG's jab. 13:04 DJ lands a good jab. 13:11 DJ's wild swing misses, he's looking like that novice bumlovkin in the fight against the welterweight that lisps like Mike Tyson. 13:14 GGG touches him with a slightly crooked jab. 13:22 DJ's jab is like a black mamba kissing gaylovkin's lips, once you go black you never go back. 13:23 GGG snaps DJ's head back with another stiff jab square in the face, a scary follow-up right hook to the back of DJ's head misses. 13:28 GGG's jab just barely touches between DJ's high guard. 13:30 GGG's jab bounces off DJ's forehead and at 13:32 DJ returns the favour. 13:35 GGG ducks, then throws a monstrous left hook which gets blocked by DJ's high guard just in time. 14:01 DJ lands a good jab. 14:11 DJ attempts to do a WWE clothesline. 14:18 DJ mistakes GGG for Andre Rozier, choosing to hit the glove instead of the wide open face. GGG in stalking mode... at 14:32 and 14:34 he pops his jab into DJ's face to really seal it.
10-9 Golovkin. He clearly out-landed Jacobs and on top of landing more cleanly he also landed the harder shots. I had never noticed GGG loads up too much before, for example at 12:16.
Round 2: 15:48 GGG comes out of the corner with a good clean jab. 16:00-16:06 GGG corners his prey sans killer instinct, decides to do nothing at all. 16:11 Nice dodges then GGG pushes DJ away madly as if "swiggity swooty I'm coming for that booty" was whispered in his ear. 16:43 Looks like how boxers miss in Hajime No Ippo. 17:22 It's not clear whether it touched, love tap? I'll count it for Jacobs. 17:32 Second good clean jab of the round for GGG. Tons of misses now for half a minute. 17:53 DJ finally throws a punch that lands clean to break the missing streak. 17:56 GGG with a stiff jab that snaps DJ's head back. 17:59 DJ lands a beautiful right hand. 18:02 Blocked punch leads to karate chop! 18:22 DJ is not only the miracle man, he's the elusive man too. 18:29 Another stiff jab lands for GGG. 18:33 DJ lands a left hook. 18:38 A stinging Golovkin power-jab paints a funny face. A couple of impressive evasive manoeuvres from triple duck, or in this instance double duck.
10-9 Jacobs, 19-19. GGG landed a handful of good jabs, Jacobs a lot more active and impressed more.
Round 3: 20:01 DJ lands a clean jab. 20:12 Jesus Christ what a powerful good boy jab, watching it in slow-motion it looks as though a big left hook made a serious impact. GGG smelling blood now. 20:32 GGG's jab snaps DJ's head back. 20:34 GGG ducks to avoid the jab, a hard counter-jab slides off DJ's cheek. 20:41 Hard to tell whether the jab landed or if DJ pulled his head back at the last millisecond, I won't count it. 20:56 A hard good boy jab rocks back DJ. 21:07-21:09 DJ lands a couple of hard body shots. 21:10 GGG appears to hit DJ with a flush right hook but after carefully replaying it's for certain that it flew past the mark. 21:19 Second clean jab of the round lands for DJ. 21:37 Yet another hard jab snaps DJ's head back. 21:49 GGG lands another stiff jab. 21:59 DJ eats yet another stiff jab, obviously Sergio Mora punches harder than Lemieux or Golovkin. Glass chin? What glass chin? 22:20 GGG lands a good jab. 22:21 DJ catches GGG with a monster left and a hard right hook, when a clinch disentangles. 22:25 GGG retaliates with a jab.
10-9 Golovkin, 29-28. GGG dominated the round, it was incredibly one-sided. Jacobs caught GGG with a big shot once and landed a few clean punches, but he was mostly inaccurate and eating too much hard leather. I noticed that many people thought Jacobs won rounds 1 and 3 which is bananas, one explanation is that they disregarded Golovkin's power-jabs in favour of Jacobs' flashy imprecise attacks.
Round 4: Skipping this round, it's a 10-8 round because of the knockdown, not much else to add...
10-8 Golovkin, 39-36. In the fourth, GGG was the entertaining animal we hoped to see.
Round 5: 28:06 GGG lands an overhand right. 28:09 A hard body shot drives DJ into the corner post. 28:11 GGG appears to land a right hook to the back of DJ's head, DJ holds on for dear life. 28:23-28:25 Three clean hard successive jabs snap DJ's head back. 28:27 GGG lands a clean jab. 28:30 DJ throws a flurry of punches, lands two. 28:48 A hook from hell makes DJ contort. 28:50 A GGG jab makes DJ's head pop sideways in a weird bad position. 29:16 GGG lands a hard straight. 29:30 DJ lands a clean jab. 29:43 DJ throws a stiff jab that rocks back the good boy. 29:46 GGG lands a love tap. 29:54 DJ's jab seems to land, bad angle, I'll count it. 29:59 GGG lands a clean right hand. 30:05 DJ seems to punch GGG on top of the head, this angle sucks, I'll count it. 30:16 DJ's right grazes GGG's right cheek. 30:19 GGG lands a good clean jab. 30:28 DJ lands a clean right hand.
10-9 Golovkin, 49-45. Jacobs throws flashy flurries, is more active but he very rarely lands cleanly. If throwing more parried/blocked/deflected punches are what wins a boxing match then Jacobs is whooping lil Gina's butt. Golovkin is simply landing the cleaner harder shots.
Round 6: 31:52 Stiff jab snaps DJ's head back. 32:39 DJ quick love tap and away. 32:56 Stiff jab snaps GGG's head back. 33:00 GGG lands a hard straight. 33:04 and 33:15 Stiff jabs snap DJ's head back. 33:18 DJ's left hook slaps GGG's right cheek. 33:23 DJ lands a hard right hook. 33:29 GGG lands two clean jabs in a row. 33:32 DJ delivers a hard body shot. 34:13 GGG's jab snaps DJ's head back. 34:19 GGG lands hard right hand. 34:30 DJ's left hook grazes GGG.
10-9 Golovkin, 59-54. Jacobs is throwing more combos, is more active, but he mainly hits Golovkin's guard and air. DJ has to win all six remaining rounds to edge the fight.
