I mean Ishe Smith even had him seriously hurt. Love his story and very likable guy you cannot help but root for but he becomes unraveled very quickly when under heavy fire. With that though it would be very unwise for Golovkin to get cocky as he has recently, or bored, and do that very dumb thing of letting a guy unleash and invite punches. Jacobs will go out swinging and on his shield.
Its funny you should say that about Jacobs. Pirog, right before clobbered jacobs was able to lock him up by switching stances momentarily. Apparently its still there because it happened in the Mora fights too. Mora just never picked up on it. If an ortho crosses over momentarily within range on Jacobs. Its almost like Jacobs has a brain fart and goes deer in headlights against the rops. His first instinct it to try an jab but it starts low and leaves a lot of real estate open on the return.


I don't know if pirog saw it and worked it. But it wasn't a fluke. Mora's sneaky and just tries to switch up and veil punches but he showed that window of opportunity is still there and Jacobs doesn't or can't close it.
Better stated than I could have bud. Yeh I just don't think Jacobs does two things at once well. He can get behind the quality stick and move around or his attack is all out when he thinks he has a guy hurt. When he's pressured he gets stuck and vulnerable. The Mora KD was pretty telling to me as there was no set up whatsoever, Jacobs crossed himself coming in with no thought of defense and Mora squared, sat down and loaded up on one wide left hook. He's not a guy who can make many mistakes with a real banger and mentally he becomes frayed.
