.......DJ falls down after bell. Exhausted.

116-111 GGG [8-4 GGG rounds] (1 point off of the 115-112 [7-5 GGG rounds] that two judges scored the fight).

6 close rounds, 3 won by each man.


SUMMARY:

DJ was content to try to catch GGG (trade power shots) until the knockdown in Round 4. Then in Round 6, DJ switched to stick-and-move strategy, which worked pretty darn well. In Round 9, GGG began to work to make DJ punch himself out, which seemed to happen. Jacobs came back well in Round 10, but faded in Round 11 and Round 12.

Terrific permanence by both men, particularly Jacobs. I've never seen him fight at this level and he's not going anywhere in the division if he can keep making weight and keep fighting like this.

Best I have ever seen him fight.

I'm happy for him. He's been through a lot, and he really came through in this fight.

Good for him.

If he fights like this, he's going to be around a long time.

 

If he fought like this against Canelo, he would destroy Canelo, IMO.

I have Lemieux, GGG and Jacobs all beating Canelo soundly. Probably some other MW's as well.

Jacobs was probably like 180+ tonight, with power and chin and speed and movement and size.

Too much for Canelo, IMO.

 

I thought Jacobs fought a great fight and did all he could, even though GGG won the fight. Jacobs was able to stand up to The Monster for 12 rounds. That deserves respect. And he kept it close.

GGG was never hurt, that's true.

I also thought Gonzalez won, but Sor fought a great fight and deserves big respect.

 

As I said, my scorecard was only one point off what two official judges had for the fight.

I'm a pretty good scorer with a pretty good track record. And I back up my scores with notes.

I can't stand people who will criticize a fight but don't have the guts to post their scores and notes.

Gotta have courage.

Additionally, my scorecard was only two rounds different than how Harold Lederman scored the fight (he gave Jacobs the 8th and the 12th, and I scored them for GGG).

 

I always post my scores when I watch a fight and come here. Did the same thing for Ward-Kovalev.

I'm not defensive, just sharing what I saw.

I agree with you on this -- Jacobs was WAY better than I thought he would be. All credit to him for that.

 

Ok, now we have the full CompuBox data to go on. Including round-by-round info. As well as the official scorecards.

So if you go round-by-round with CompuBox, and score the winner of the round by total punches landed (obviously not a perfect formula), you get this card:

01. Golovkin ======>

08. Golovkin ======> I had the same score
09. Golovkin ======> I had the same score
10. Jacobs =======> I had the same score
11. Golovkin ======> I had the same score
12. Golovkin ======> I had the same score

That's 9-2-1 Golovkin rounds. Three rounds at variance with my own card (I am comfortable giving the 6th round to Jacobs).

I'm upset that I seemed to mis-score the 7th round (even though I had it as a 'close' round, the stats favor Jacobs), but then I see that two of the three official judges gave Jacobs the 12th round (the second-most lopsided round of the fight in GGG's favor, behind the 4th, in terms of punches landed) and that makes me feel much better.

 

They had him by one round, and even they said at the end of the fight that they might have had it wrong.
