The moment Jacobs feel the jab he will second guess himself he will say if that's the power in his jab imagine his right/left hand? He will be thinking this while Golovkin is jabbing him he will have no time to think and will be overwhelmed. Jacobs for me is the best middleweight after Golovkin and he would easily beat the top fighters in that divison but Golovkin is a different animal and he will find that out you think he looks slow outside the ring but once you are inside it every shot feels like it can knock you out. Golovkin by early knockout
It's highly likely that Jacobs will get knocked down with a jab - in fact, with his glass jaw, he might even get knocked out by a Golovkin jab.
Jacobs could well rush out like he did against Quillen only the difference is GGG has never been down in close to 400 fights lol,once he realises that GGG can take his hardest shots he'll have nowhere to go,I expect GGG will respect Jacobs power though and his jab will break Jacobs,I don't see any upsets here,maybe if Jacobs could box as well Brook did with those uppercuts he'd have some chance with his power but I'm not sure Jacobs can box as well as Brook can he?
I could definitely see a jab-knockdown here in this fight. People seem to be so excited about this thinking it's going to be another GGG/Brook style war when they are all forgetting that Jacobs has a fragile Glass Jaw of the highest degree. When you're getting floored by the likes of pillow-fisted Sergio Mora, that spells disaster when going up against a savage puncher like GGG. This will end early, very early, unless Jacobs decides to run all night.
Yeah I reckon you're right,Kell Brook showed he can take a shot as Golovkin was going all out to knock his block off that night,I don't see Jacobs standing after the same punishment?
Judging from the shots Brook took from GGG, I will have to agree that he has a better chin. However, I think that Jacobs is the better boxer as he has a better repertoire of punches and he moves better in the ring.
Brook is very, very good punch variety. "The total package" as Paulie Malignaggi said, but you are right Jacobs has more speed and better movement, but I think Brook controls the distance and times very well. He completely outboxed Golovkin in Round 2 of their fight which should give Jacobs hope. I just don't think Jacobs has the chin to win.
I don't think he can. Brook was clever with his suttle movement and he showed GGG angles. Jacobs to me will try and run and that will be his downfall. You can't take flight as GGG is Supreme at cutting down the ring and will trap Jacobs into places he don't want to go.
Yep but that's just it,that was the first time I've ever seen GGG lose a round and Brook was boxing like a maniac,as it happens the guy I fancy with the best chance is Eubank jnr the guy who messed GGG around originally,sounds mad given the competition Eubank is facing at the mo but he's miles better than that if only he'd step up and believe in himself?
