Coming into the fight I had Golovkin by KO and bet my remaining paycheck on him but Danny gave him that good work. That aside, He looked massive compared to Golovkin and I'm wondering if anybody had the official weights the night of the fight?

No announcement yet.
Are we all forgetting what we saw last night?

I've been saying for years I'd feel more comfortable if GG was at 154. He'd be doing what all fighters do in boxing basically, by fighting at 154.
But he wants greatness, and he made himself a MW for the last decade. Hell, one of the best MW title reigns ever!
I have no doubts he'll move up eventually to 168, after Canelo.... But it's crazy to think the legacy he will carve up there when you take into account that this is a natural 154lb fighter moving up 14 pounds!!!!!
gg is the gift that keeps on giving for boxing fans.

I had Jacobs on points before the fight started, but it was not a secure bet at all so I backed it up with a bet on GGG on KO. GGG's all around value fell a lot after yesterday, but I would also say I am also impressed by him, as he is the real deal. We all knew he would have problems with a slippery guy like Jacobs. I've always felt that whenever GGG meets someone who can box, he would get trapped down the line. Jacobs is also the real deal and both fighters could've won last night, but while Jacobs value skyrockets on a loss, GGG's value falls, even in victory.

He's been at 160 since the beginning. that's my point. He can easily have been a 154lber his whole career
See: Canelo
Originally posted by Clegg View PostEarlier in his career I think he could done 154 and been strong. Not now though. Harder for guys in their mid 30s to play the drastic weight cut/rehydrate 15+ lbs game though.

Yeah, that's true. I definitely don't think he should move down to 154 at this point or anything, obviously
