    Totally agreed. Especially in round 4. GGG dropped Jacobs, who got back up and showed so much heart. They should have stopped the fight right there and gave Danny the W for his show of courage.
    A flash knockdown = 1 10-8 round.

      And honestly, I’m impressed. Jacobs ballooned up so much for that fight and was so physically strong as you can see in the clinches yet Golovkin still dropped him and had him respect his power. Even pushed him back with some jabs. I will never understand the hate he gets here. Yes, Abel and Loffer are hypocrites but Golovkin is a special fighter. Jacobs would have stopped most middleweights that night. No trolling, but Golovkin is a great fighter and I think will be regarded as one of the best middleweights.
      yet he hasn't had a stoppage since this fight and has looked very average against 2 guys that he should have ran through since then.

        Jacobs did better than people expected. His problem was he was reacting to Golovkin rather than trying to dominate.
        Danny was the younger, bigger guy with a rep as a KO artist and he fought to survive 12 rounds rather than win the fight. Golovkin had Jacobs on his back foot for a lot of the fight and you don't beat Golovkin moving backwards.
        If you want to be considered special, you don't "finesse" the champ, you take it to him.

            GGG ruined him. With jabs and a flash knockdown.

                    It was a close but clear fight. 7-5 at the tightest or 8-4. Jacobs was a little too timid to win 6 rounds (which still would have been a loss).

                    It wasn't all that good of a fight to me. I honestly didn't think this or the Canelo fights were anything special.

                      Why are you romantizing a cherry pickers career! Triple gee has the worst resume to hype ratio in the history of boxing!
