    With all the strangeness at the end of the fight, it wasn’t nearly as strange as the fact that, as you said, the fight happened at all.

    Maybe more strange even, is that when Chavez quit, I was shocked. Almost as if I didn’t see him refuse a drug test or refuse to make weight. Wtf did I expect Chavez would do if he got a bloody nose?

      That's what they fight for. And he got an extra million for doing nothing. That was definitely the prize.

      • I wasn't surprised that Chavez quit he's quit twice before this once on the stool against fonfara and once on his feet in the canelo fight by refusing to fight after about 3 rounds of Canelo busting his face and nose gave up he wouldn't let his hands go or try because he just wanted to survive to the end. Against Jacobs he tried the first 2 rounds while Jacobs was cautious feeling him out because he had a drastic weight advantage but the moment Jacobs eased into the fight and started laying them hands on him and busting him up Chavez didn't want to fight anymore. He's a disgrace to boxing.

            His opponent came in 5 pounds overweight and they had to renegotiate the contract ffs...

            And Jacobs never had a significant weight advantage on fight night...less than 10 pounds which isnt unusual at all.

            People get fixated on weight differences, but it goes both ways. Jacobs carried around 10 extra pounds fight night...which tires him out faster and makes him slower. Sure it *should* help him absorb punches a hair better, but it's not all positives...its a tradeoff.

            JCC is a joke lol
            I was talking about missing 2nd weigh ins at the last minute, which was done for a size advantage, in that particular fight a slight slowing down wouldn't matter, as Golovkin was as slow as George Foreman.. As for Chavez jnr, i couldnt agree with you more.

              - -Jr for all his failings, done more for fighter purses than 99% of the fighters of his era.

                  What are you talking about?

                  Danny and his team decided to skip it. No last minute about it. So IBF was out of the picture and wbo/wba up for grabs. Nothing "illegal" with that. At all.

                    Chavez was winning that fight easily, but it was a mistake to fight an American in America. The ref let him get away with everything and robbed us, just like they robbed his dad 26 years ago in Texas.
                    Relax Nobody got robbed!

                    But somebody quit and it's not the first time!

                      Never said it was illegal, said it was done at the last minute, and everyone said it was unexpected. So one guy makes weight for a second weigh in and one doesn't. Its common knowledge Jacobs was alot heavier than Golovkin in that fight, but Jacobs said it wasnt really an advantage. Now he fights a heavier guy, its used as an excuse and a disadvantage. Cant have it both ways.
