With no indication of an opponent and nothing in the works, it appears as if jacobs is needing extended time out of the ring in order to come to terms with the loss.
Although jacobs wasnt an undefeated fighter after the early loss to pirog, he had a winning streak extending many years, and certainly physically he did not resemble to scrawny kid that fought pirog. In fact he was the significantly larger fighter against golovkin.
To his credit jacobs did good work in a few rounds, but was outlanded in the vast majority (8 out of 12), and knocked down. The most surprising thing for many, is that jacobs shots did not put any sort of dent in golovkin.
This must change a fighters mentality, from thinking offensively they can do damage to anyone, to shots bouncing off the opponent. The aura of invincibility goes, especially considering against the smaller guy he resorted to having to fight on the back foot.
So will jacobs be able to reclimb the mountain so to speak? After recovering from an explosive loss to pirog, will he be able to recover and work his way back into contention after a convincing loss to golovkin?
