Oh, cool. I spotted a tiny cross-language substitution in your post Give Semmy Schilt and Bas my regards
Jacobs won by 2 rounds, I thought it was fairly conclusive. I can't believe GGG won, even he knew it was a fake.
Golovkin's knockdown in Round 4 won him the fight . I had each fighter winning 6 rounds but the knockdown was the clincher . Jacobs is a big Middleweight , Golovkin is an average size Middleweight . The rounds Jacobs won , he won convincingly with flash . GGG's rounds were won with skill and his superior hard jab , just like he beat up Lemieux . You really have to admire GGG for beating a younger , faster , bigger man . It was close but clearly GGG won it .
Robbery is such a strong term to use in a close, competitive fight between 2 of the best in a division. I thought Jacobs eked out a decision, but him getting dropped once and also allowing Gennady to clearly win the final round were his 2 biggest blunders in what was otherwise a terrific performance on his part. Honestly, both men looked spent by the championship rounds. If Jacobs really worked on his stamina and conditioning for a rematch, he could beat Golovkin. I was shocked to see how crisp he was at times defensively when avoiding GGG's right hand. He kept ducking under it and coming back with a left hook that landed more often than not. It was an awesome gameplan by Jacob's and if he had a bit more left in the tank during the 12th round, he could've won that fight (or at least ascertain a draw.)
Two only because I went back off of my original scorecard and gave a swing round to GGG and a made one of the rounds a draw because I wanted to give the champion the benefit On my original scorecard GGG was down by 4 rounds but like I said I need to rewatch it see if my first scorecard was right or not.
Ok. I am more comfortable in my card after having seen the full CompuBox stats, including round-by-round. I had 6 rounds as being close, though, so that could swing things one way or the other.
Fair enough mate, I really Jacobs gets a rematch because I think he will win conclusively after seeing that fight. GGG looked perplexed at the speed but he was also gun shy because he didn't wanna try bulldozer Jacobs like Brook only to get caught with something hard. Felt really bad for Jacobs and his coach rozier was amazing on the boxnation feed.
Jacobs deserves a rematch. And he could win it, because GGG isn't getting any younger or bigger. Respect to Jacobs. He fought a great fight. I like him.
If you watched on Boxnation then you suffered through some of the most biased commentary I've ever heard, they didn't even hide the bias either it was disgusting
Why would they be biased? Buncey was praising GGG and ranking him among the greats before the fight ? I was convinced Jacobs was getting that decision. GGG looked bad and was mostly ineffective . He couldn't take Jacobs out of his gameplan. He did not even celebrate his gift decision as he knew he let the fight slip away from him
What does this have to do with Ward-Kovalev? Anyway Jacobs was a clearer winner against GGG than either Ward or Kovalev (whoever you wanna argue for) in their fight.
Bunce is a clown but I wasn't talking about him. The commentators either loved Jacobs or hated Golovkin and they've succeeded in their aim to convince you that Jacobs somehow won that fight
