We all know who won but like I said before there's so much money involved in the Canelo fight, Jacobs had to knock him out to win.

Jacobs won tonight but I never expected Ward to get the decision against sergey...Sergey has not got a dance partner like Canelo so there's a big difference between the two.

Wrong decision but Jacobs will be back.

GGG is still a nice guy but he knows time is running out.



I think GGG was fighting a light heavyweight tonight
That weight difference must have made it harder for him tonight.
I had Jacobs winning that by a round but i don't agree that fighters should be allowed to pile on so much weight that they end up 1 or 2 weight divisions bigger than the opponent.

The rules were changed for a good reason after Arturo Gatti hospitalised/brain damaged an opponent after coming in huge at fight night.
I caught this on a feed so I can't say for sure till i see the replay (but I had Golovkin winning because a lot of Danny's flurry and shots landed on the gloves... I think Jacobs was getting survival points from people.. but like i said i'm not sure at this point) .. Anyway, Jacobs could have been as high as a 180 during the fight, which explains the shouldering in and pushing off. Victor Conte, who was part of jacobs' camp.. spilled the beans. He was a light heavy this morning (176 an hour before he skipped the IBF weigh in)

Victor Conte speaks on Daniel Jacobs' fight weight - The Ring


Says it all really, the other sanctioning bodies need to follow the IBF ruling, on one hand they install weight divisions but on the other hand dismiss them like they don't matter - it's fucked up

That includes ex-BALCO ringleader Victor Conte, now working on the right side of the law as a nutrition and supplement consultant.
“I predict Danny will be between 178-180 when he steps into the ring. He was at 176 at 8 a.m. this morning. Don’t be surprised if Danny does very well this evening. He had a tremendous training camp on the west coast. He spent the last four weeks of his training camp at my SNAC training facility in San Carlos, California. He is in the best shape of his life. He will be huge tonight when he steps into the ring! Danny will be big, fast and powerful. We will soon see how this all plays out.”
Conte said he knew Friday night Jacobs would not be doing the morning of weight check, for the record.
Indeed. Smartly played, perhaps, on paper by Jacobs. He can win four other belts off Golovkin tonight, so missing one wouldn’t wreck his mood.
Now, should the sport be allowing one man to be a cruiserweight and his foe a super middleweight on fight night? I would say ideally no. Maybe time for all the sanctioning bodies to follow the IBF and institute the day of weight cap.
