Comments Thread For: Jacobs' Trainer Would Like Gennady Golovkin Rematch - Next

[j.razor]

No only haters think GGG lost. Most people who know boxing know GGG won. Objectively speaking if a fight is close and one guy landed more punches overall and in most individual rounds, was more accurate both overall and in the vast majority of individual rounds AND score the only knock down its hard to see that guy losing the fight. Granted, Jacobs fought a great fight and made it close but he objectively he didn't do enough to win. He did more than enough to earn a rematch but that is a different argument and one I wouldn't dispute.

You can say all you want but Jacobs won. We all know he did. Watch it again on mute.....

But that's not what YOU said in YOUR prior comment: "We all know lil g lost. Cut it out. Jacobs put lil g out of commission right now. Don't try to circle around the FACTS." There is not a single, factual statement in that comment. Those statements are your opinions and theories.

So now you're trying to provide support for your opinions, but you're just taking different bits of information and building an argument around them. That's fine, but it doesn't make YOUR conclusions a FACT.

I mean, come on, man. "We all know lil g lost." That's a fact? Please. I was impressed with Jacobs -- he fought a smart fight and exceeded expectations. The fact that he's a cancer survivor and competes at this level blows my mind. But I don't think he won that fight. So your "we all know" statement certainly is not a fact.

"Jacobs put lil g out of commission right now." That's a theory...admittedly, a pretty good one. But to call it a fact goes too far. And then, to put FACT in all caps like your some kind of gangsta authority on the subject, that's laughable.

This was words from his promoter so why would he make it up? Only reason would be to get a canelo fight in sept. and you were impressed wit Jacbos but I'v seen Jacobs fight multiple times and I was expecting him to put just a little more hurt on lil g...did you see how fast lil g pulled out of the exchanges when he got touched to the body? So tell me what the excuse will be when he fights another good opponent? You gonna say you were surprised how well they did against lil g? Please give me your excuse now before he fights a real competitor. Those are FACTS! Peace.

I'll watch it on mute once as long as you promise to watch it with the TV on. Numbers don't lie. It was a good close fight that GGG edged. Neither man have a reason to hang their heads. Both did very well. Jacobs absolutely deserves a rematch and I hope we see it sooner rather than later.

GGG landed 231 out of the 615 punches he threw for a connect percentage of 37.6% Jacobs landed 175 out of the 541 punches he threw for a connect percentage of 32.3%. GGG landed 105 jabs of the 356 he threw for a connect percentage of 29.5%. Jacobs only landed 31 jabs while throwing a mere 170 for the entire fight. His connect percentage was an anemic 18.2%.

Overall numbers don't tell the whole story so lets look at it on individual rounds. GGG outjabbed Jacobs in all 12 rounds. GGG outlanded Jacobs overall in 9 out of 12 rounds. Several of those rounds were razor close though. GGG landed at a higher percentage in 8 out of the 12 rounds. With several of those rounds being close.

Overall, Danny Jacobs landed more power punches than GGG but it wasn't by much. He landed 144 power shots to GGG's 128. That's a whopping 16 power punch difference over a 12 round fight. (Hence they split the landed power punches 6 rounds a piece). Jacobs was also significantly less accurate connecting at a 38.8 percentage compared to GGG's 48.6% (almost 50%). Then you have the final arbitor which is the amount of knockdowns. Only one person got knocked down and that was Jacobs. Granted he wasn't hurt but he was still dropped all the same.

The only factors in which Jacobs clearly came out ahead were in things you cannot calculate statistically. He came out way ahead of GGG in terms of expectations. He far exceeded expectations where GGG did not come close to reaching what was expected of him. He also led the way in bravado and posing. Perhaps if GGG did more chest bumping and roaring after the bell to show he wasn't affected by Jacobs punches he would have looked better in that regard. However, he chose to let his fists do the talking.

Then They Shouldn't have Demanded No Rematch Clause

If he doesn't get the Canelo fight next the Jacobs rematch should be next. Saunders is fighting in July so he's not available and they already turned that fight down. They ain't trying to unify so ain't no reason to keep that IBF belt and fight Johnson. Jacobs is the only acceptable fight if they don't get the Canelo fight.

No reason to fight Jacobs. GGG beats him cleanly the first time.

Look how good his game plan was going into the fight. There is stuff he could tweak to pull off a clear win.

GGG also fought with caution to make sure he didn't lose out on the Canelo fight. Both can improve, and if both do, ggg would win just as clearly.

Next time it shouldn't be in Jacobs home town and ggg should close the weight gap.

When Chavez scares the Diva from taking the GGG fight, Jacobs might get his chance. However, this time GGG is going to stop Jacobs. Don't get me wrong, Jacobs is likely the 2nd or 3rd best MW in the world (between he and Lemieux). He was out jabbed and out punched over the course of the fight, plus knocked down. GGG won't let it go to the judges next time. People underestimate the significance of such extensive amateur experience when it comes to the pro level. GGG will be able to adapt and he will take the game Jacobs out.

... Jacobs landed more power punches than Golovkin in 8 of the 12 rounds, so yeah...

[taste]

I scored the fight 7-5 for GGG but just out of curiosity what make you believe that Jacobs would do better in the rematch?

You can figure that out can't you? Think about it a little.

Yea. Lets ignore the fact the Jacobs threw less punches, landed less punches, was less accurate and actually got dropped in order to focus entirely on the one statistical category Jacobs barely won. That makes perfect sense.
