Crybaby Jacobs: Golovkin Will Avoid Rematch With Me, I'm Too Much Risk

[apollo creed]

“I think they might avoid me, to be honest with you,” Jacobs told BS.com. “I think I’m a lose-lose situation. “I think I’m too much of a risk, no reward. In my opinion, Triple-G the fighter probably wants to rematch me, because in his heart he wouldn’t be able to retire without defending such a controversial decision.

“So we’ll see what happens. I’m not expecting it. I’ll push for it. I’m definitely gonna push for it. In my opinion, I’ve done enough to have big fights with other fighters in the middleweight division because even with this loss, we still proved that we’re the best and we can take over the middleweight division.”

“I feel like I won the fight because I feel like I did enough,” Jacobs said. “He definitely landed a lot more jabs than I did, but I landed a lot more combinations and power punches than he did. Now if you’re judging the fight based on the jab, then yeah, he won the fight. But it’s the overall package. If you go back to [the knockdown], it really wasn’t a legitimate knockdown. But you have to score it because it was [from] a punch.

“I can’t cry about me being off-balance because that’s the name of the game. It comes with the territory, so I understand those two points. But as I’m scoring the rounds, I mean, I’m being as neutral as possible – but I’m still giving me rounds, close rounds, that I feel like I deserve, that I feel like I edged out. He didn’t have that momentum. He didn’t have the crowd into the fight. You didn’t see the same Triple-G fight that you normally see.”

“I think if I do [get a rematch] it’ll be at the very end of his career,” Jacobs said. “And then when I knock him out, I probably wouldn’t get the credit then. It would be a losing situation for me, but in my heart I’m happy with the fact that I proved to myself that that night I’m the best middleweight in the world.”

Why Jacobs just dont STFU about the GGG fight and come to say 'I want to fight Lemieux or Jermall next' ? He looks annoying with this ol' $het!

I'm a big GGG fan but I like Jacobs and I kinda feel for him. He gave GGG all sorts of problems and definitely deserves a rematch. You can't blame GGG for going after Canelo though. It's a bigger fight and that's the fight he and his team have been chasing.

Hopefully if GGG can win and Jacobs can pick up a decent scalp whilst waiting then they can go again.

Lemeuix, Andy Lee or even the BJS/Khurtsidze winner would be good for Jacobs in the interim.

Jacobs has some neck. He ran for most of the fight....

Boxing and moving isn't "running".

The first 6 rds he did next to nothing to win.....

Had he fought committed he may well have beaten GGG. He didn't fight committed for large enough parts of the fight.

What a pathetic thread.

If you go back to [the knockdown], it really wasn’t a legitimate knockdown.

Show it to 100 boxing experts and 100 will agree it was legit.

Jacobs will have to fight a good contender like Lemieux or Charlo to deserve another crack at GGG.
When you chose to stick and move and get knocked down then hurt, you can't complain much after the fact.
He had the last 2 rds to go balls to the walls and get the titles from the champion clearly, and he did not.

..Jacobs shouldn't waste his time indulging in self therapy but rather focus on the future..

Jacobs is still a top contender, but I'm not upset that GGG is not having an immediate rematch with Jacobs and instead fighting the biggest superfight we've all been wanting to see now for the last few years.

Jacobs may get another shot in the future, but for now he's just gotta get back in line and earn his shot again. I think he's perfectly capable of doing so.

[apollo creed]

Jacobs better call out Lemieux or Jermall Charllo.

Jacobs better call out Lemieux or Jermall Charllo.

Either one of those fights would be fantastic.

[KiwiRider]

The general vibe I get is that the decision was good.let's not have a poll about it
He is entitled to his opinion.
I agree with the consensus to let him earn another shot at GGG because no one is disappointed by the upcoming mega fight Vs Canelo

[Ruthless-RKO]

What Jacobs needs to do now is schedule himself with another top contender..
