GGG fanatics mad they can't use this excuse no more.

GGG won, so no excuses are needed.

And Abel not complaining about it doesn't alter the fact that Jacobs had a significant size advantage over Golovkin, which was certainly one reason why the fight was so competitive.

Give credit where credit is due. Sanchez being professional and telling it like it is. Jacobs team trying to gain an advantage by missing the weigh in and hydrating to 180. And Golovkin for handily beating a bigger man. All good.

[STREET CLEANER]

The weigh in that matter happened unusually early (9am) the day before the fight and Jacobs made weight.

The only ones complaining are Triple G fan boys.

Floyd v McGregor was made for April Fools Day.

Jacobs weighed between 12-15 lbs more than GGG. GGG woeghed around 168/169 ish and Jacobs 178-180.

Golovkin weighed 169 for the morning weigh in. Surely he was heavier through rehydration 12 hours later. I figure he was 171.

[Mequetrefe]

Welp, Abel just pissed off a lot of GGG fans. Jacobs was 220lbs on fight night

Reminds me of amir khan. In his latest interview with Elie Seckback he said Canelo weighed 200 lbs!!! LMFAO. Started at 175 and now hes up to 200. SMH.

once again, Golovkin's whiney fanbase made themselves look silly over nothing

waaaaah, he big doe..... sounded real silly considering Golovkin can supposedly handle Ward, Kovalev, and Stevenson

wrong, as usual.

98% of GGG fans didnt care one bit that Jacobs blew off the 2nd weigh in. It was only worth discussing to call out the hypocrisy of those who made such a fuss when Lemieux did it, but had no problem with Jacobs doing it. Hmmmm, I wonder why? What is so different about Lemieux and Jacobs? Hmmmm, nothing jumps out at me......lol

I'm sure GGG's team knew in advance about what Danny was going to do. Like giving him more money than he was entitled to, it was a concession they made in order to get the fight signed.

It also saved GGG a lot of hassle getting permission from the IBF to fight at MW without defending their title. That could have been a problem if Jacobs had announced beforehand that he didn't intend challenging for the IBF belt.

A case of, "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours"

The 9 am weigh in, which gave Jacobs over 38 hours to rehydrate after making 160, was fortuitous (for Danny) and K2 not protesting about it shows how much confidence they had in GGG.

It turned out to be a damned close call though. I can't help wondering what Abel would be saying now if Danny had got the nod!

there is actually an agreement between the sanctioning bodies regarding respecting other groups mandos, and who goes first in the case of multiple mandos due at the same time.

GGG would not have been stripped if Jacobs opted from the beginning to not fight for the IBF title. GGG would still have had to pay his fees, and do the 2nd day weigh in, and it would have counted as a voluntary defense.

Same thing when Baldomir didnt want to pay the IBF for the Judah fight. Judah still defended the IBF belt in that fight.

I think he's wrong. Golovkin is big on doing right for the sport and always being respectful. I doubt he would let his team pull something like this even if it was in his best interest.

Agreed, Sanchez and Loefher should of never allow this **** with weight cheat to happen, look how gbp worries about the weights for canelos opposition..

but whatever, GGG won so haterz move on.
