Both respected the power of the other. We've never seen Golovkin's defense that fine tuned. He blocked a lot with his guard, and covered his body well with his arms, smothering quite a few of those body shots. Jacobs was a bit tentative in close range. I think that is where he lost the fight. People forget Golovkin had over 300 amateur fights, and was an Olympic Silver medalist. He has good feet, and can control the distance fairly well. Jacobs often couldn't find the right range, even when he came forward, because Golovkin would use his legs, and keep Jacobs from closing in at times. Where Jacobs had the advantage, was handspeed. But you have to be in range to utilize it. He was more concerned at times with tying up on the inside, instead of using his handspeed, to put combinations together. Jacobs defense wasn't half bad either. He slipped and made Golovkin miss alot with head movement. It was a good fight, the level of the combatants added intrigue.

Fight also helped us gauge both guys better. Golovkin is clearly under Hopkins in terms of middleweight hierarchy. I have him under Hagler as well. I do have Golovkin above Sergio Martinez and Jermaine Taylor though. I think Golovkin vs a prime Pavlik would have been a hell of a fight, due to the style match up.
