Round 1 Jacobs (could go either way)
Round 2 Golovkin (could go either way)
Let me say if you are giving both of those rounds to one guy you are heavily biased towards that guy in this fight.
Round 3 Golovkin (Jacobs landed one solid punch when he was tied up, other than that Golovkin got better)
Round 4 GGG (2 point)
Round 5 GGG (clearly)
Round 6 Jacobs (1st clear round for Jacobs)
Round 7 Jacobs (very close)
Round 8 GGG (very close)
Round 9 GGG (decisive)
Round 10 Jacobs (close round, very good rd)
Round 11 Jacobs (round was close, GGG was winning pretty comfortably until 2 big punch combo by Jacobs at end of round)
Round 12 Golovkin (decisive)
7 rounds Golovkin plus KD. Jacobs 5 rounds. Score 115-112.
Golovkin clearly had more decisive rounds in that fight. Even if I gave Jacobs another close round he still loses 114-113.
IMO if someone has it for Jacobs more likely than not they have a heavy biased towards him or against Golovkin. He didn't win even 4 rounds in this fight decisively. Golovkin won 4 rounds clearly plus the KD. If someone is giving Jacobs 4 out of 5 rounds that were so tight I'm not buying they aren't incredibly biased.
115-112 GGG. Many of Jacobs' punches were missing and did no damage. I felt like he was awarded some rounds by fans for surviving and yelling. He got the worst of it on the inside and outside, and he was dropped and in retreat for most of the fight.
I don't think it was an accident that the judges and something like 18/20 media people at ringside scored the fight for Golovkin.
Most people didn't score the fight, they saw a close fight and just looked at it overall and said who they thought won. Even boxers, who don't score the fight round by round, they do it just like most people do. When you score this fight round by round it is incredibly difficult to justify Jacobs winning. You have to give him 80% of the breaks.

Yea, I just re-watched this fight with my girl two days ago to show her a GGG fight, so this fight is fresh in my mind. I am going to re-watch the Canelo/Chavez Jr fight before the fight on Saturday too.
I had Jacobs edging it. But, I rarely bring that up because I don't believe in throwing tantrums about close fights. Unlike these children that can't get over Kovalev losing to Ward. If Golovkin got the W, fair enough. It was a close fight.

That's some good heavy bag work Canelo got in vs. Chavez.

Why bother watching a fight where one guy didn't even fight back? Watch the Cotto fight instead. He actually fought back and landed good shots
