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.

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

about 12 round fights, the championship rounds are history.

49-46 GGG

I miss the 75 rounders. Removed any question!
