sulecki may not be as good as ggg overall but hes not slow and plodding, and hes longer.
The second weigh-in obviously gave Jacobs a huge advantage. Jacobs obviously did it for a reason and everyone can see he was massive in that ring. That part gets downplayed too much. Hell, the IBF changed their rules on it because it was straight bull-ish.

Yeah I had anticipated that Sulecki could have his moments, and look good in the fight, but I still honestly expected he'd be stopped. He did even better than I expected, and definitely proved he's a solid contender in his own right.
