    He was big.

    He said he thought he was about 175 in the post-fight presser, but I'm guessing more like 180.

    He looked big, and he said that using his size advantage was part of the gameplan.

    I'd say he looked like a cruiserweight out there. Probably 20lbs over the weight limit, plus roid use. And people act suprised that ggg didn't knock him out smh.

    So Golovkin couldn't knock out a Jacobs that drained himself massively to make weight?

    Jacobs is young enough that he can boil down to a weight and benefit from the massive weight gain. Crawford, for example, also boils down. He rehydrated 17 pounds in his last fight. Spence is also a huge gainer. Brandon Rios used to do it until he couldn't anymore.

    He was huge last night. He was at least 20lbs over 160. People speculating he was juiced too, not sure but he did drag feet with vada. Either way the weight clearly helped him.

    Good fight

    Going to be interesting to see Canelo against a 190 pound Chavez Jr. Wonder if people will be claiming robbery if it goes the distance? We all have seen Oscar's crooked judges at work several times.

    He showed he was roided up to the point where he was experiencing roid rage in the ring in front of 18,000 people. He completely lost his head multiple times trying to sneak in hits after the bell and trying to goad GGG into a street fight when the rounds were over.

    Good close fight
    Youth weight and height and full use of that ring all worked in favour of Jacobs
    He did better than I thought he should have been weighed prior to entrance IMO
    Get the rematch on imo

    Would had been a different story had the weigh in occurred at 5pm instead of 9am, up your troll level

    I full expect this to be a cherry-pick gone wrong. Canelo doesn't have the movement that Jacobs has, so won't be able to effectively avoid Chavez as well as Jacobs did with GGG.

    Sorry explain how it was a close fight?
    Did Jacobs put GGG down? Was GGG buzzed ever ?
    Did Jacobs try to drag GGG down when he was knocked down as he was clinging for dear life onto GGG's legs?
    Did Jacobs start whining to the ref about hits on top of head after continually his after the bell.
    Was Rozier pleading him not to engage & keep spinning & jabbing ,as Rozzier could see that even with a Height, reach & 20lb weight advantage his man could not put a dent in GGG...so again how did you score it asa close fight...is it because Jacobs made the 12th round...he was promoted as No 2 Middleweight in the world so you would expect him to be there ...unless ofcourse you hold GGG in such high regard...
    Yes a rematch is fair after BJS & Canelo...there is no rematch clause in the contract so GGG's team are not obliged to do so ,but GGG & Tom flo flo have already said yes down the line..unlike Ward who has a rematch clause for Kovalev but as one would expect , will not honour it...
