I didn't have Jacobs winning BUT he certainly didn't come out a loser.
After taking 3-4 months to negotiate because of his huge chunk of the pie as challenger, he gained huge publicity and respect from the boxing community in defeat.
I gave Golovkin a lot of the close rounds because of his ring generalship. I didn't feel Jacobs should be stealing the close rounds by moving away. This is boxing, not dancing. Come forward and stamp your authority!
Defense is easier when your on the back foot (being defensive).
Try being defensive when you are the constant aggressor.. Not as easy!
So, that combined with the fact he got knocked down made me happy with the overall result without having to knit pick every punch landed.
