I haven't seen it yet, but will as soon as possible.

Looks like most media people scored it close with GGG winning.

What did you think?

i had jacobs by 1 or 2 rounds

GGG.

Close though. 114 - 113

GGG by a few.....his jab gave him the edge for me

The knockdown won it, very close fight. If it gives de la Hoya confidence to get Alvarez in the ring then get the fight made.

I had Jacobs winning. 114-113

GGG just could not find him.

I was not expecting to see Jacobs outbox GGG and not getting caught badly in the whole fight.

The KD was not that bad. Jacobs was not badly hurt.

Once again shows that you cannot win against the more marketable guy on points

Gonzalez lost on points as the A-side one fight before, and you had Jacobs up by just a single point

I haven't watched the Gonzales fight yet. Good to hear that my pessimistic take on things is not always accurate.

I had Jacobs ahead on one point. It was a close fight. I usually tend to score more rounds to the fighter going forward. I also was really rooting for GGG in this fight. Especially after Jacobs skipped the second day weighing. He clearly was aiming for weight advantage and was looking huge compared to GGG. With all my bias here I still had Jacobs winning so I guess there is some score cards out there with even bigger numbers for Jacobs.

If someone has an advantage it's usually the more marketable guy, but that doesnt mean the opponent cant get a decision.

The scores looked about right to me. I can definitely see a case for Danny, but the crying of robbery seems odd; jabs count, and flurries dont score just because theyre flashy.

Close but 114:113 I had Golovkin .

Golovkin won ... hands down ...

... more details to come ...

... (after I watch the fight) ...

No one here ever says "well they officials dissagree, and that's okay", if they ever disagree, no mtter how flimsy the justifcation, they always scream robbery and corruption.

For the record I thought Jacobs won it, was better for most of most of the round to me.

Got to watch the fight finally.. GGG got a gift, Jacobs deserved the win, bad decision.

I agree...Jacobs had to be a little bit more aggressive to win. His jab has to be improved.

I just watched the fight, scored it 115-112 for Golovkin.

It was a fair decision.

John Rawling's commentary was terrible.

That's a shocker.

Right decision

Golovkin out worked and out boxed Jacobs

i had jacobs winning but i didn't score the fights.After looking at the compubox number jacobs had the advantage in power shots landing 8 round out of 12.But GGG totally dominated the jabs 12 ROUND OUT OF 12.

like i said in another thread i got impressed by the power shots more than the jabs.

fair decision anyway......

Jacobs didn't win. Just didn't land enough to win. He deserves a huge credit for lasting 12 rounds and standing his ground, but he needed to do more to win.

+1 I had Golovkin 7 rounds up after 9 (i scored the 2nd 10-10) Barry Jones had Jacobs up. 116-112 for me.

For the record here's the official scoresheet :

Had Golovkin winning 114-113. Fight was close, but I thought he was the winner. If somebody wanted to say Jacobs won 114-113, I'd accept that, though think it was wrong. As well ass 115-112 G3 is an acceptable score to have. The knockdown killed Danny because I can't see 7 rounds to give him. G3 should have fought with a little more aggression, but still did enough to win.

I had Jacobs by a point
but unlike others I wouldn't scream robbery because the cards didn't agree with mine in a close fight that could have gone either way

In fact it's far more likely, when every poll point to a Golovkin win, the punch stats point to a Golovkin win, the judges called it a Golovkin win and most of the ring side "experts" called it a Golovkin win, that maybe....just maybe, Davie was wrong

Compu-Box had Golovkin landing 231 of 615 punches for a connect percentage of 38, and Jacobs landing 175 of 541 punches for a connect percentage of 32.

They also had GGG landing more jabs in every round, which matches what I saw. Jabs don't get oohs and ahhs though...
