I think there's too much emphasis put on the way Pirog handled Jacobs especially the KO. Pirog was absolutely incredible that night and it still took him 5 rounds (4 and a quarter really) to stop Jacobs and I think that fight was the absolute last time Pirog had his full power in his punches too. It is a fucking shame his back gave out like it did.
Jacobs is older, he's more experienced now, he's going to pace himself and GGG isn't Pirog (amazing that they were set to fight when Pirog ducked out of that one to fight N'Dam). GGG is a patient boxer, he'll look for his openings and make his punches count. I think we'll see Jacobs give GGG lots of respect early on.
