Jacobs: Golovkin hype is Just Calculated Matchmaking

    His power is cumulative

    Brook was in the process of losing his eye.

    Stevens looked as though he witnessed Death itself, unravel in front of his eyes after getting knocked down.

    Most of them quit or get tko before the danger becomes life threatening.

    However I have a feeling that Jacobs has talked this up so much that he is putting himself in an impossible position. He will stubbornly fight on - much less to his better judgement - just to prove his words to people like yourself, who's hopes and dreams rest on his shoulder in the faint hope that he could somehow or some miraculous way, derail the inevitable GGG machine

    He will then have a divine moment before his skull hits the floor before realising, much too late that the hype is all too real.

    All that and still no hard Wilder type "out cold" KOs. That's power, not POWER.

    these guys keep talking brooks "eye this eye that"....brook was surprised and disappointed when the fight was stopped...I still don't believe his eye was that bad....they just stopped it before anything real could happen to him....pac said he had a shoulder injury too....I don't think too many buy that one

    His eye wasn't that bad where the pain stopped him. It was annoyingly bad where he just didn't have proper vision. His face was marked by he didn't appear to be terribly affected by Golovkin's punches.

    Those first 3 rounds showed that Golovkin is quite amateurish in his offence against a top B level opponent like Brook. No small wonder why he ducked Lara, Hopkins and Ward all whom would have completely exposed Golovkin.
    That's calculated matchmaking in action.

    Yeah true those Wilder knockouts should come with an 18 certificate and them some,that Spilka knockout was truly frightening weren't it?
    Funny Re GGG as you know I'm a fan that's my perogative but I do get it why some hate him or at least those round him,I honestly think Abel Sanchez turns so many folk off Golovkin and he really bugs me himself saying stuff like he beats everyone up to light heavy without moving from 160,shock will be amazed to hear me say this but I'm not blind and Ward does have a point about double standards,same re Canelo with his belt whilst same org let him keep it for less.
    Re Abel I did hear one interview on a podcast where he totally went against all the hype he comes out with and when asked if GGGs power would translate up and if he were large enough to move up Abel said honestly we don't really know and also he actually agreed with the accumulated power so make of that what you will but it does back up what you think.

    Yes clearly, they just opened up his eye and performed surgery for the hell of it. :lol:

    The lengths people go to discredit GGG is unbelievable yet laughable at times.

    The boy was about to be a pirate if it went another round and we have his naysayers saying Brook wasn't hurt because he made token gestures signalling that he wanted to continue.

    As if he is going to do a hop and dance when his corner stops the fight.

    To be clear, I don't hate Golovkin or any other boxer.
    I just have no respect for Golovkin because he hasn't earned it. I am not a Brook fan, but I have more respect for Brook than I do Golovkin, because although Brook isn't IMO, A-level talent, he does at least act like a boxer.
    Sanchez is a fat lipped ignoramus. No one like him, but I can't fault him for hyping his fighter. I fault Golovkin for being less than a man and allowing Sanchez to talk for him.

    It is a matter of FACT that Povetkin NEVER failed a drug test. He is a victim of a Russophobic witch hunt that is targeting Russian athletes. Try doing some research and thinking idependantly for a change.

    Yeah I had Brook all wrong,the times I gave him stick cause I thought he was avoiding the division yet he's taken Spence when many would see him flee to the hills,total respect for both guys.
    Hope now Jacobs has stepped up it will rub off,gets me that GGG is getting on in years and his team have only just made it happen,to be clear as Paulie said you can't make people fight but K2 don't seem to make the money worth it for losing to GGG.

    That's exactly my point. If K2 had really wanted any of those fights they could have found a way to make at least one or two of them happen. All that others ducking Golovkin is just spin and BS.
    Money talks and Bs walks. K2 is the Bs in that statement because they've done nothing but walk.
    Golovkin's legacy will pay the price. He'll turn 48 and then have to like Calzaghe and make some big fights to save his legacy.
