Jacobs & Nelo both beat lil g. The only moral victory was the announcements after the fights for the lil g fans.Comment

GGG lost his luster when Brook was landing so well vs. GGG, and everyone knew Brook was a blown up Welterweight! From there he had another lackluster performance vs. Jacobs, so the critique was biased based on the Brook fight. GGG beat Jacobs. Jacobs fought like a guy wanting to "survive" 12 rds., and he did, but he didn't win! Now that Charlo will be fighting Hugo Centeno Jr., Jacobs needs to fight Ryota Murata, Sergiy Derevyanchenko, or Demetrius Andrade next! Anyone else is unacceptable!Comment

Obviously Jacobs didn't get the victory but he should have won. No he didn't run, he stood, and fought. In the beginning he moved a bit but no running. Golovkin's clearly outjabbed him in one round but it wasn't the +60 advantage HBO and Compubox gave him. Golovkin was tentative, walking into shots he didn't intend to get with. It wasn't the big drama show where he was taking punches to land his own. He got hit when he wasn't expecting to get hit. The one KD wasn't enough to swing a victory but it is what it is. It made way for the hugely disappointing draw where I thought Golovkin actually won. Go figure... Rob one, get robbed! It's the circle of life in boxing.Comment

Running is too harsh on his bike 8 rounds not exchanging enough. Was dropped hurt 2 other times. When he did stand and exchange had success but 4 rounds does not equal a win you are clueless did you think Canella won too lolComment

So if Nelo was obviously lighter than GGg at 180lbs then GGg came in at 185? If you watched the fight, ggg was bigger, as he was expected to beLike me some Danny Jacobs. Truly respect him as a man and as a boxer.
PLEASE stop, all you revisionists: Trip G won that very competitive but easy to judge fight.
As far as Trip G and Canelo, I actually am fine with the draw. I do not think Alvarez won it by any way to judge it, but the draw was fair. I do have my opinion that Trip G won round 10 and should have won the fight, but there were three really close rounds (1, 4, and 10) that could decided the fight as I think most of the other rounds are easy to score for one or the other. But the tie is okay.
These three are the best at 160 no matter how you dice it. Charlo is on tier, and could easily be standing the tallest by 2018's end or mid-2019. Lemieux and Saunders may have a small amount to say in that pecking order as well.
I do not think Golovkin stays undefeated. Too much great talent out there, and the dude fought 3-4 times a year for most of his career. Even if he dominated inferior competition, those rounds add up. Great fighter, tough to see him keep his 0 much longer.Comment
