Golovkin.
Watched it with no sound.
Certainly a fight of two halves with GGG bossing the first half but Jacobs being nowhere near as convincing in his half.
7-5 GGG and a proper KD nothing iffy about it whatsoever. People are reaching to try and discredit a GREAT boxer in a proper fight with somebody who made him fight for the whole 12 rounds. Jacobs already being taller with a reach advantage and then a huge weight advantage come fight time has to be factored into it or else you then have to be consistent and give Canelo etc no shit for doing the same. This is why GGG has not moved up he is not that big. Despite that Jacobs hit him several times with his best shots and couldn't budge him (watch his frustration in RD 11 when he hit him with shots that would have planked lesser fighters). Still people can't bring themselves to credit GGG for actually proving in this fight how legitimate he is. Talk of him having no defense and being like Prov is dumb at best, and that is being charitable. Watch him side step, feint , duck, lean, tilt his chin again and again to avoid being hit straight on. When he does get hit he again proves he has a great beard, but that is not the same is just standing there and letting someone tee off all night. Golovkin again does not take a step backwards, but he fights with great skill and hunting down a first class rangy boxer that could bang a bit like Jacobs is no mean feat.
I can see why somebody might have it as a draw but you have to ignore the KD and the effectiveness of Golovkins work in negating Jacobs opportunity to land scoring punches to really believe that Jacobs beat him. Nothing like a robbery and very predictable example of negative naysayers lining up to tear a great fighter down.
