Can anything help Jacobs to beat Golovkin ?

[boxing_rocks]

Beside Golovkin's sickness or injury, can anything help Jacobs to be ready in 10 weeks ?

First they said that he was going to spar Khytrov, Derevyanenko and Khurtsidze. Now he is going to Hunter's gym:

I think Hunter can only help Jacobs to survive longer.

Is Golovkin the favorite yes. People acting Golovkin can never lose. Of course it possible if his speed can be a factor.

My worry with Hunter as trainer is that DJ will be too defensive minded. I think he needs to get GGG's respect offensively (which he never did vs Pirog), and while he may last longer I think DJ's chances go down if he's highly cautious, on his bike, and not throwing much.

A flighty, punch weary performance is what he needs to stay clear of.

That could be his best chance to win.

I dont think it is. IMO it's been shown in several fights that being flighty and not letting your hands go much isn't generally the best approach against GGG, and I dont see DJ being an exception

If he doesnt get GGG's respect, and assuming he doesnt quickly bomb GGG out, he'll face even more pressure, and I dont think he's the type who will like that.

Im not saying Jacobs should look for a brawl, but I do think he should be fairly busy offensively, and be willing to throw powershots in combo.

patience, pick his shots, frustrate ggg, move a lot sideways. and ones in a while try to throw in one big hook trying to end it all with 1 punch.
