Golovkin-Jacobs Fight Card Picks?

[boxing_rocks]

Exactly. Jacobs won sh!t. We are all just surprised that it was close, but GGG still won confidently based on punch counts, being an aggressor and the KD. Even the swelled Danny's eye showed who inflicted more damage.

Good post.

Typically if a dominant puncher doesn't drop his opponent every round some people tend to lean towards the other guy. It's not right, but it happens. If you check the poll thread only one person picked GGG by decision...yours truly. I think Tanzio also picked it in the wager thread. When your mind is completely made up that a guy is going to win by knockout it can tarnish your view if the opponent does better than you expected. But doing better and winning are not always the same thing.

On the flipside Golovkin fans can be swayed by him coming forward as usual, even when it was ineffective aggression.

Being relatively ineffective (compared to his usual self), he still managed to land significantly more and drop his opponent.

I really thought GGG win this fight with his jab. It was on point all night and every time it hit it snapped Jacobs head back.

I don't believe Canelo can pull off a gameplan like Jacobs did tonight and that's why he won't win.

Edit to add: thought it's not flashy his defence was very good tonight as well against a faster, longer guy.

38% to 32%. Look at the power punches percentages.

Golovkin fought overly cautious, most likely because he had too much to lose. A fight in Kazakhstan is lined up, and a fight with Canelo is probable. Sanchez also kept telling him to be cautious.

I feel stupit for changing my prediction, I saw the boxers and expected it to go to distance, but ggg winning on points, but changed it to a 7th round KO later on...

Yes he did drop Jacobs, certainly a punch which pushed him off balance to the floor. A scoring shot but not a spectacular punch.

He landed 57 more punches, which is almost a third of Jacobs total landed; that's significant. GGG also used his jab more effectively and scored a knockdown.

This is what is rubbish
about 12 round fights, the championship rounds are history.

I miss the 75 rounders. Removed any question!

That wasn't a Mexican style or a style winning casual fans.

Had G3 winning 114-113. Close fight and Jacobs stock is on the way up.

[jezzamundo]

GGG dominates the first minutes, lands several jabs and right - nothing wrong with Jacobs' chin. Jacobs turns southpaw and wins the final minute, but still a clear GGG round.

49-46 GGG

Yea those 75 rounders sure were brutal. I normally tuned off after the 20th round, did some gardening, went to work, did some shopping, then came back for the last 5.

Can't wait to get home and watch this fight. Seems pretty even on who people think won the fight, but we all knew if it was close it was going to GGG.

I'm actually surprised Jacobs made it to the final bell. I never rated Jacobs that highly, but maybe after watching this fight I will have a different opinion.

Gonzalez vs Rungvisai
I am disgusted, totally disgusted...
I don`t know, maybe US boxing business wants that only The most Boring Ever Floyd Mayweather will stay with his record without any danger from someone else. Gonzalez was simply robbed, fuc.ed by this bastards. This is unbolievable. I can`t imagine how he feels now. Very sad day for boxing. By the way it was great fight but now it doesn`t matter...
Looking at points I had it 115:111 for Gonzalez, but I tried to give almost every round I could to Rungvisai.
