Obviously not a man completely knocked from his senses. Jacobs is thought to be chinny because of that, but he would have continued and who knows? In the previous round Jacobs landed 3 times as many shots as Pirog and Lederman gave Pirog the round. Go figure. Jacobs is alright, but Golovkin is a monster. I'm supporting Jacobs.
Jacobs was also dropped by Mora where I feel the chinny stuff gets substance. Fact was Jacobs was dropped hard by Pirog. Sure the ref might have called it of early but we never saw what Jacobs looked like while standing. You could compare it to Froch/ Groves II where Groves fell awkwardly and it was stopped. Personally I don't think Pirog was that big a puncher. Jacobs' chin is very shaky in my opinion.
