Comments Thread For: Is GGG Losing Spunk or Was Jacobs as Crafty as He Appeared?

[SweetPbfAli]

If this was anyone else he'd be getting credit for KD his opponentand going after him the whole fight. The bias and hatred for GGG is so transparent now it's laughable.

Going after him? It's a matter of styles ffs! He was largely ineffective with his aggression so if that's a new scoring criteria, please help us understand.

Jacobs was huge and fighting for his life. GGG had an off night. And still he beat him. So...

It's not even clever what you just did. Let's try another way. Jacobs was an 8-1 underdog and beat the "great" pound for pound GG.

Look i'm tired of people discrediting Jacobs by doing this kind of charlatan behavior. The man left his comfort zone went and sought out a legendary coach who arguably split his camp into two parts. Virgil took care of the inside fighting and the escape route while Andre Focused on the offense, they brought in a nutrionist and a strength and conditioning coach. Virtually Jacobs did what he's never done in his career and that's prepare to fight the whole world. Give that man credit, we just saw the very best of Jacobs and in turn his stock went way up. That version of Jacobs is a nightmare for any and everyone at 160.

Could it just be fight fans getting greedy and unrealistic (yes, including me)? After all GGG did beat #2 MW in a close but clear manner. Jacobs had youth, reach, weight and hand speed advantage and still lost. GGG might be slowing down a bit but he still has a few good fights left before retiring.

Controversial win vs an 8-1 underdog isn't close but clear. He isn't slowing down, he's just fight good competition. ggg was always a good fighter who looked excellent vs subpar opposition.

My opinion I think GGG is starting to age and we will see many get brave now specially Canelo. I also think Jacobs was juicing if you refuse to test VADA than in my opinon you're dirty. In my eyes a clean fighter will take any test a dirty fighter will not.

Team GEE got greedy and now this happened... Jacobs was supposed to be a spectacular KO win for Trip GEE that HBO could then work their magic with & sell him as a mass murderer. (But HBO messed around an scheduled Lemuiex a week earlier & DL lifted the KO expectations to an ubsurd level. They should have tried to get BJS in the ring instead. The Jacobs cherry pick backfired bigtime. (2 cherry in a row backfired if you count Brook)

Ggg will look like that anytime there's strict testing. Yeah I said it and said it before the fight.

Jacobs refused vada?? Thats news to me...

Jacobs exposed that GGG can have problems with runners but I think based on GGG last 3 fights that he is getting old. After this last fight he has suitors like Saunders because they see him aging and beatable. 2-3 years ago everyone was avoiding him. It happens fighters get old.

He beat them both and kod one knocked the other down so how is that backfiring? So I guess floyds cherry pick of maidana the brawling plodder back fired too right? Cause Floyd was supposed to box circles around him and the majority had him losing the first fight.
