    Only the idiots had Jacobs winning, that was an 8-4/7-5 win for Golovkin.

    And this was a Golovkin that was beginning signs of aging. Jacobs also resorted to ballooning up weight, he looked almost like a cruiser in there against Golovkin, yet still got knocked down early.

    Beterbiev hasn't fought anyone bigger than as of yet, he's a huge light heavy.

    Yeah, pretty much everyone of them, strange how that seems to always be the case isn't it? No, get it straight, Beterbiev intentionally moves the back of their heads into his punches.

    Have you heard of the term "head movement"?

    Is this the Ward that robbed Kovalev, then rematched him, only to nut shot him into an early stoppage proceeding by retiring early (33-34) in shame? Yes, we all remember

    Yes, they move their head to evade his punches, then he illegally punches them in the back of their head.

    Beterbiev loops his punches and sometimes his opponents will turn or react in a way where Beterbiev hits the back of their heads.

    However there are other times Beterbiev just straight up rabbit punches his opponents outright.

    GGG wasn't the kind of man who would do anything to win. Some see that as a good trait, some don't but it costs you in this sport.

    Which means him intentionally punching his opponents in the back of the head is even more egregious and potentially deadly. One victory via rabbit punches is forgivable, but when almost every win you've had in the last 5 years comes via a rabbit punch. That means you're a dirty and sadistic fighter.

    It is pretty wild that everyone is in denial about this.

    That's funny, the last word on Ward / Golovkin was Ward saying that he wouldn't fight him at the weight HE had been demanding for years. :deal: Maybe take some tablets to improve your memory.
