    That's about what I expected.
    More power, more skills and a much better chin.. Jacobs has to overcome a lot.

    This is usually how it is when a hyped fighter gets a fight against a good but less hyped fighter. The gap between those numbers will close some as the fight draws closer.

    If he really is getting that rumored $3 million I don't trust him either.

    8-1 is somewhat wide, methinks. Should be more like 2 or 3 to 1. Jacobs can punch some.

    That's about right lol, the worst part about it is...you guessed its his best opponent to date. I'm glad the fight got made but I think that speaks volumes in itself.

    As we get closer to the fight, the odds will get closer. Usually how it goes.

    Surely all Golovkin's haters who claim how flawed he is will bet on the big underdog this time and cash out, right?
