Video: Gennady Golovkin vs Daniel Jacobs - Post Fight Recap

Good video. I think apart from the 11th that was my card exactly... I had Jacobs winning by a round on fight night, still need to rewatch it. Don't have a problem with the decision... As the saying goes. You need to BEAT the champion.

 

Thanks for detailed explanation. Although I do not agree on some rounds, but this gives a clear understanding of criteria you used for scoring.

However I have a question, Jacobs was a contender, isn't it the case where he should have shown more to get close rounds in his favour?

 

Great video. Wouldn't have been mad either way the decision was made. I do think Jacobs stock rose. GGG's dropped a tad just because he looked human but nothing dramatic.

I'd like to see GGG Saunders next just so GGG becomes unified and gets it out of the way. Word is he will vacate after. Then if Canelo doesn't happen after that I don't see it happening. I'd be fine with Jacobs-GGG II.

If GGG does vacate after I'd love to see Jacobs vs Eubanks for a title in England. Love to see Jacobs KO him over there.

Also off topic. Thoughts on Brook-Spence? Love to see a preview video on that down the line. Hoping Spence wins and eventually sets up Thurman Spence down the line.

I agree but we know that it won't ever happen again. HBO wants and HBO guy to beat an HBO guy. Or it's May/Pac all over again. That's just business. Keep up the great work remaining unbiased, we both know that that does not fly around here and I'm guilty of it all the way.
Negative bias literally makes the 24 hour news cycle go 'round.

 

Great Stuff Rummy.!!!

 

Very good detailed breakdown. My original card was 115-112 GGG. Then it was 114-113 GGG. So many close rounds. I thought GGG Jab and his crisper punching technique helped him scrape out a slim victory. I like you also gave Jacobs round 8 which many ppl believe GGG won (again showing how close this fight was) I split the first 2 rounds. Awarded GGG the next 3 and then had similar card to yours rest of way.
Close fight. Competitive. I think the judges got it right. Both men deserve praise.
And since you brought up Kovalev vs Ward - I thought this fight was much more competitive. I felt Kovalev won clear. But I agree that both men deserve praise in that bout as well. Ward picked himself up off the canvas and won most of the second half of the fight against a murderous boxer puncher

 

Good video. After rewatching it, I had it 114-113 GGG WHILST ALSO feeling 115-112 GGG and 114-113 Jacobs are equally plausible scorecards.

When I analyse greatness rankings, I don't say even fights are losses or victories for either fighter i.e DLH-Whitaker. They were ultimately evenly matched and Jacobs is indeed underrated.
Jacobs had an even fight with someone as good as GGG. This isn't an Arthur Abraham, this is Gennady Golovkin we're talking here. Jacobs has proved in this fight against the most dangerous of opponents that he is TRULY elite.

 

I don't think Jacobs wants a rematch, he feels he did enough to win the fight and doesn't have to prove anything to himself again. He said he'd rather look to the future, he'd really prefer to fight others and I don't see a problem with that. He really did prove himself in this fight and destroyed the demons from the Pirog fight.

 

I have a theory...GGG streched this fight and always wanted to go 12rds.

Now that the aura of invincibility is allegedly gone...BJS and Canelo want to sign some contracts baby.

 

Youre an idiot. Retire your account.

 

Rummy's accent is hilarious. I like it when he says Gennady. In his accent.
