the fight was close because jacobs is a solid fighter who landed enough effective punches to make it close on the cards. golovkin's main disadvantage were his size and his age. jacobs looked huge in there, and golovkin's not a huge middleweight. secondly, golovkin is almost 35, had 350 amateur fights [!], and his style lends itself to getting punched in the face. jacobs is not only younger, he had a long layoff due to cancer, and while it wasn't good for his body it did preserve his brain from the punishment that comes with taking 2-4 pro fights a year and sparring without any rest.
expect a rematch to look similar. i would expect a different gameplan from both teams, but i would expect a similar level of parody. the bigger, younger fighter isn't as good, but he's still bigger and younger and that says a lot in the context of golovkin's style, which we all know isn't well suited for fighting bigger guys.
I could've created a better thread by shitting on my computer with nsb opened and then hitting enter.
So that's where your posts come from...it all makes sense now... Just kidding, bruh
But seriously, this is some ******ed sh it here. I'll say GGG 'let' Monroe hit him. I'll say GGG didn't give a sh it about getting hit by Brook as he walked him down. But I don't see how Golovkin did anything to let Jacobs hit him, or intentionally look bad against Jacobs. Jacobs is a good fighter, and his corner had a great strategy for the fight
