    Many people already predicted Jacobs not to be able to stay within the 10lbs rehydration limit set by the IBF, but he didn't even attend, and can't win the IBF belt anymore.
    Golovkin weighed in at 169.4 lbs within the limit (like expected), so if he wins or draws he can keep the belt.
    If he were to lose, the IBF belt will become vacant.

    Golovkin will still smash his face in.

    Jacobs probably rehydrates 20lbs, same as Lem and Canelo. Can't see Jacobs staying at 160 much longer he looked very drained at the weigh-in.

    But Golovkin is a huge cruiserweight masking as a middleweight!

    Just not seen anything from Jacobs on a boxing level that would convince me he can share a ring with the great GGG,his power may be his best chance but even then if you compare the techniques of both Jacobs looks like he has to force it from the arm if that makes sense whereby even GGGs jabs have pure heat on em,honestly this could be very short I mean one to two rounds short

    He is a big summabiitch.

    Just don't know how well his chin will hold up at 168.

    GGG may be a smallish MW, weight-wise, but he's got such a good beard and footwork and sneaky good timing on his jab that he could absorb some punishment from the bigger punchers like Groves and Abe and push em back with his ramrod jab and lightning fast hooks up and down.

    GGG vs GG would be a fukking real war.

    I think GG would probably walk thru Jacobs.
