    Great fight last night, I watched, but drank instead of really scoring, from where I sat it looked like Jacobs did enough to win, but again, it's different when you score round by round.

    There was no robbery, just like the Ward - Kovalev fight, it could have gone either way, and Jacobs fought MUCH more impressively than Kovey did.

    I don't think GGG was exposed, he just looked old, and he did vs. Brook also. For me, the fight was kind of like Julio Ceasar Chavez - Frankie Randall I, except that Randal is a better fighter than Jacobs.

    Props to both guys, GGG showed he has an incredible chin, Danny showed he is a real, championship level fighter. And props to Chris Algeri for getting Jacobs in shape for the fight.

    I don't think the future looks all that good for either guy. Charlo beats either of them now, I think a Saunders fight might not work out well for GGG either, the buy runs like a thief, and I don't think Golovkin has the legs to catch him anymore. Jacobs might not be able to make weight in 6 months, and he won't be much of a factor at 168.

    All in all, great night of boxing though, really enjoyed it.

    GGG inside defense and brand new highguard which nutrilized Jacobs attack massively,in inside exchanges GGG would switch to a crouched highguard position (old school trick,very old school) making him a smaller target,Jacobs would hit GGG Elbows and Gloves Due to This,slowing the video down and watching its very clear,also GGG use of popshoting was a difference maker,like Hopkins vs Tito my puertorican brother got schooled and like that Jacobs did as well,GGG jab was masterful and GGG ducking bobbing while Jacobs was at the ropes,usually GGG steps back like all euro fighters or bends at the knees tonight he showcased something I never seen of him before,bobbing and weaving Jacobs check hook which was almost perfectly timed but ultimitly and sadly (cause Jacobs fought his best fight) not good enough as Jacobs checked hooked GGG would slip out making Jacobs hit air,or GGG Shoulder and Back Then GGG Would Angle To Which Way Jacobs Lead zfoot Was Pointed and jabbed the night away my God This Was Just Like Duran Leonard 1 Leonard Fought An Amazing Fight...Just Wasn't Enough
