The fight was close, because Golovkin wanted it close!

GGG looked bad because Jacobs made him look bad. GGG won a close decision but don't say his performance was based on some ridiculous theory of him trying to lure people into a match by taking punches in the face. To me it looked like GGG was looking for the KO instead of making opportunities with combinations, he was lucky to get the decision and should start working on what got him to the top of the P4P list.

The fight was close because Golovkin wanted it close. He could finish Jacobs in any round but decided to let him go. Why? To lure out Canelo and Sanders, those two cowards, GGG had to sucrifice his KO streak. Just rewatch 4 and 5 rounds. GGG was murdering DJ, knocked him down and could go on. But decided to give DJ a few rounds. Every round for DJ could be like 4th round. 33 landed GGG, only 11 for DJ. Just rewatch it. GGG was playing with DJ and Canelo. He won the first half of the fight and thought ok, lets lose some rounds. And he won the 12th round easily just in case. With Kell Brook Golovkin was sloppy on purpose. With Saunders in June Golovkin will fight lazily.
But when and if Canelo steps into the ring you will see the same old sharp and murderous Golovkin.

I'm not sure if Golovkin "let him go" but I do think Golovkin has the upmost respect for Jacobs and wanted a competitive fight from him. It's clear that either one had any animosity towards each other. They are both professionals and showed their skill sets to the fans. It wasn't a close fight though. The only thing different was Golovkin didn't get a knock out but it was business as usual to get the win. Have to Jacobs props for stepping up and hanging in there.

GGG took most punches on gloves and forearms. Guys, just take a good look at the 4th round. It is the anwer for all questions. Golovkin could make every round like the 4th round all night long making a shapless pulp out of Jacobs face. GGG did not get tired because of 1-2 good rounds. He just decided to spare the health of DJ for the sake of killin Canelo in the ring. Mark my words - GGG will murder the Cowarnelo - rip his head off.

Wow I just saw the title of this thread. How delusional some people really are.

[A.K]

Lmao this OP is a idiot don't put me in a category with him cause im a ggg fan.

[al-Xander]

Real fans expected it to be a close fight. Fake fans saw the #1 and #2 in the division as a mismatched fight.

[Madison Boxing]

nah. he got sloppy after he put jacobs on his pants, started headhunting and throwing the big shots, so he lost a few of the middle rounds. doubt he would risk losing on cards by looking deliberately sloppy...

[SilverMiles]

These new found Jacob fans are ******ed. Do you really believe anyone (outside a few idiots) think you're a Golovkin fan?

Obvious troll thread to make Golovkin fans look bad and to give reason to his detractors to attack them.

D- thread

Try to do better next time.

It was close because Jacobs negated the jab from the southpaw stance. He was getting his head snapped back by it conventional style. And I think GGG really respected the power of Jacobs so he didn't get crazy and try to wing shots wildly like he's done against overmatched opponents. Can we stop with the nonsense posts already.
