    I was very vague with my comments in the lead up to the fight. That way if Jacobs lost I couldn't take heat, but if Jacobs won or made a good fight out of it? "I told you so, GGG sucks!"

    Can't say I did, I thought GGG would be too much. I gave DJ more of a chance than most tbf though.

    No need for an explanation. I was joking
    Obviously when our countrymen fight, we wish them the best and our judgement can be flawed because of that.
    You're still one of the best in the game

    Thank you radupidu but I need to correct you. Not one of the best, but the best. You are forgiven

    It was what it was.

    And i call it as i saw it, with no preference or bias to either fighter.

    When i watch a fight again, i watch it from different angles and with the sound down.

    Watching the fight straight off i had Jacobs 2 up, with GGG needing a KD for a draw.

    Jacobs won by a far wider margin in my mind no doubt.

    It reminded me of when Thulani Malinga fought Nigel Benn the first time, a fight i thought Malinga had won "Easily"
    Yet didn't get the decision.

    In Malinga's own words post fight were, "I cant believe it it was easy".

    The decision over Jacob's left that same taste in my mouth.

    I had Jacobs up 120-108... almost a shut out. Jacobs even won the round where Golovkin dropped him in my eyes as other than the knock down Golovkin didnt do much in that round either.
