    It was avery god fight, evenly matched , i think the scoring was to wide in all honesty though I do think Jacobs pegged it. I'd pick Sulecki to beat Charlo...

    There is a history of seeing close fights before they happen. I remember how I was slated for saying it would be a tough close fight for Bradley and Provodnikov, or that Fury would outpoint Wladimir, that Pascal would beat Dawson or that Froch would clearly beat Abraham. Years later it becomes hindsight but if you look at those posts they werent at the time

    If he had power, he would’ve beat Jacobs. He was landing hard, clean shots throughout the fight.

    I've seen a lot of people who, like you, thought Sulecki pulled it off. I won't say it was the majority but from what I've seen so far it's been a sizeable percentage and an awful lot of those who had Jacobs winning thought it was razor-close.

    Well, you were right. Sulecki won in a tight match-up due to the 12th round KD by Jacobs. Jacobs brought more power but was clearly outworked and outpointed by Sulecki. Laughable the punch stats shown after the fight. I'm not going to bother to count them but it wasn't even close. Sulecki landed at least 20% more effective punches than Jacobs. God how I hate listening to the announcers genuflecting before Jacobs.

    No hindight, you always favor the British fighter regardless of who they're fighting. You even cry foul when a British fighter loses, be it close or not.

    Those are your "predictions" in a nutshell.

    Sulecki isn't British.

    I'm talking about his previous (and future) references.

    Sulecki wasnt British when I favoured him to beat Jacobs, Jacobs wasnt British when I favoured him over Golovkin, Pirog wasnt British when I favoured him over Jacobs
    What are you going on about? When have I cried foul about a British fighter losing?
    I bet you cant answer any of that and bet you scurry back under that rock you emerged from
