Survive Cancer only to enter Da Big Drama Show brehs : GGG/Jacobs 3/18

[LauderdaleBoss]

PSA to all future potential GGG opponents

Movement and boxing from a distance aint enough to win a decision against Golovkin. You need to study the Ouma fight and push him backwards and stop him from coming forward

Judges ain't giving you the round just because you landed a few counters and can use some lateral movement.

You gotta put hands on Golovkin. Once he starts cutting the ring off on you, he's already winning. Don't even let it get to that. Be first, and back him up, then move outta harms way.

GGG chasing you doesnt look good to the judges especially if you bigger.

This is just a reflection of how bad the boxing scoring system is. Those really close rounds, especially the early ones in a fight should just be 10-10 if they're that close. Rounds should be won decisively, and those rounds where guys are feeling each other out or being hesitant shouldn't be the deciding margin.

off topic but bro who is that chick in your avi?

 

[Newzz]

I guess now you're backing jacobs to beat canelo too

Nope, just would like to see Canelo vs a real opponent at Middleweight.

Cotto and Khan weren't

not everybody

The follow up suggested video is a 10min vid of Khan's knock out losses

You said you had Jacobs 115-112 though
Respecting the decision when you make your official rankings is a thing but in a debate like this why you have this argument about him being undefeated if you personally had him losing?
whatever though... I've seen worse decisions but definitely not agreeing with this one.

Because my score doesn't matter in the end.

I had Shawn Porter beating Thurman....Thurman still was Champion and undefeated. Didn't matter what I scored, bc the judges are what history sides with

 

[JDee323]

had Jacobs by a couple rds, scores were close as the fight was. Robbery? Nah the scores would've had to be a little wider to call it that imo, but those judges were being generous for the close rds.

I'll just stick to calling the decision a gift. They need to run that back.

I think GGG would lose agains Canelo because Canelo would see the blueprint and has a better defense. GGG needed this fight in his career a lot earlier than he had it, where as Canelo got to face Mayweather and he has improved 10 fold. Canelo's defense and boxing has improved. GGG doesn't have that great of a defense and doesn't do too well fighting backwards.

I'm 3 rounds in and GGG won them, and now he gets the knock down in the 4th.

What makes u think GGG will be going backwards Vs canelo?

What makes u think GGG will be going backwards Vs canelo?

I think there will be instances where he does but GGG will control majority of the ring

Jacobs collapsing at the end. Left them no choice

GGG won a close fight, but Jacobs did his thing. If he would have sat down on his punches and took charge of shyt, he could have imposed his will more and took advantage of a GGG that wasn't too aggressive.

Fight definitely deserves a rematch, but I feel like GGG's jab and knockdown was the difference in the fight.

Jacobs fought a lil too scary for his physical dimensions. He was on the back foot a lil too much. If he would have come forward some more he would have won

Good looking breh. I had been big upping Jacobs before the fight because I respected him and think he is a very good fighter. He showed up well. A lot of people had been shytting on Danny and now acting like Danny was their boy. That is why I stay away from fight threads until fights are well over. Scoring is predictably terrible (especially if it is a fighter the board hates).

It was a close fight and Danny did better than expected, but that is as far as I saw it. Danny had a speed advantage and size advantage and never used it. Every time they got in close Danny looked to move towards GGG to cut off any distance and force a clinch, even if GGG was the one to initiate it at times. He never got physical and pushed GGG around inside. From the outside GGG dominated with his jab. Jacobs landed some good shots and CompuBox gave him an edge in power shots. It appeared as the more damaging shots came from GGG. He got a legit KD and later in the fight and the end of a round had Danny in trouble and on shaky legs. GGG stayed cautious of Danny's power and was wary to attack and leave himself open, but never seemed hurt by anything Danny threw.

The big takeaway for me was that Danny showed the things you need to do to beat GGG, he just wasn't effective in doing it. He didn't win on the inside (they were equal), he got out jabbed from range, he had the hand speed to land from that same range, but never committed to effective combos. GGG's defense isn't as poor as many claim. His defense was quite effective and I think Jacobs realized that in order to really get at GGG and land something consequential you have to risk opening yourself up and he didn't seem willing to do that.

I think it was a close fight, I watched with two people who weren't GGG fans (or Jacobs fans) and they both thought the fight was really close, thought a draw was possible but if they had to pick a winner were leaning GGG.

I agree with @patscorpio as well, 114-113 for GGG, felt like the right score and I dont think it is controversial at all. Now Chocolatitio's fight was controversial to me. I had him clearly wining by a couple points...in fact his Cuadras fight felt much closer than this one.

 

[onelastdeath]

danny is not faster than canelo. and canelo is a WAY more accurate puncher. canelo-little g gonna look like mosley-margarito. canelo gonna be slippin and teeing off on this dude's head and body until he completely breaks down.

Pretty much how I see that fight going.

 

[GREENandYELLOW]

So what would that mean...just odd...if he beat BJS or whoever he fights in June that would put him one shy of Hopkins defense record, which they talk about all the time. And if they scheduled a Canelo fight for the fall why wouldn't it be for the belts, unless it was above 160 (or maybe they dont want to pay those big ass sanctioning fees that fight would have)...don't know what to make of that.
