His twitter and other social media accounts mention GGG alot...

So I would bet on that too, but I wouldn't get anything back unless NY all of a sudden bet heavy on Jacobs

Originally posted by Virgil Caine View PostThat seems like the common narrative, but I don't really buy it. Lemieux is pretty limited, and Curtis Stevens was a hot prospect who never was. Stevens in particular wasn't really a top-notch opponent. Lemieux was game, but he was a sitting duck. Munroe was alright, but also not really top of the class. I think Jacobs is probably GGG's best opponent to date. I don't buy the notion that GGG gets hit on purpose because he doesn't respect his opponents. I think he gets hit because he doesn't move his head. Brook exposed him to an extent. and you're only as good as your last fight. Brook is a 147 pounder. In Jacobs, GGG is fighting a true middleweight, with KO power and speed/boxing ability. I think he's going to be tested, win or lose.

Originally posted by aboutfkntime View PostI don't care who wins, but I would favor Golovkin
just happy to see him finally take a challenging fight
they don't really need Jacobs, and they could have forced an unfair purse-bid
props to Gennady
