    I felt it was a fight that Jacobs could win and slightly favoured Jacobs but was by no means confident with really calling it either way and it seems with that I once again have shown why I make the most amazing prediction threads and predictions on ESB.

    It makes sense to me now as to why I wrote that I slightly favoured Jacobs but also said I was torn in this fight.
    Now we know it was a close fight where many felt Jacobs had won but didnt get the decision.

    So how did you call it?

    First learn to score without huge bias, Jacobs doing better than expected (or better than prayed to) doesn't give him sympathy or give extra credit points

    I agree with not giving someone rounds because they do better than you think they may do and admit I was neutral but a bit more of a Golovkin fan due to his all action style. I favoured Jacobs slightly going in and thought Jacobs may have done better than he did so I may have given more credit to Golovkin for what he did, but I will watch it again. I dont think I would have it any wider to Jacobs but as said will watch again

    No . It was not a fight where many felt Jacobs won , From what Ive been hearing and reading . It appears The majority felt Triple G was the rightful winner .

    No bother.
    I have seen you make some great predictions but this one was a stretch for many on here. I said what many felt would be an upset but as a member of Team Elite its my job to get it right.
    How did you score it?

    Look at how fans watching live on the RBR scored it. You will see that many felt Jacobs won

    114-113 Jacobs, will rewatch later, it was that close of a fight. A possible round swing could happen upon a rewatch.

    I had it similar, 115/113 Jacobs but will watch it again some time soon when I can be bothered as there were some close rounds which I may see differently either way
