Gennady Golovkin v Daniel Jacobs - 18/3/17 MSG

[erics44]

my tactics for Jacobs would be to get as fit as is humanly possible and try and jump on Golovkin from the off, beat him to every punch and throw lots of punches

I don't think its very common you would advise a fighter to go after another early, but in this case I think I would

Go for broke as he did with Quillin? Nice tactic as GGG tends to start slow.

I think you are right in that it is no good waiting for the hammer to fall. GGG seems to slip into gear after the first round or two and by then he has learned how to close all the fire exits before you can start implementing any kind of evasive action.

I also think that is Jacobs' only option. In saying that; fire will be coming back at him increasing his chances of getting caught.

Well the last fight out was not very impressive for me Brooke was giving GGG a lot more problems then i would of thought. Jacobs got a lot of speed to him and is good sized dude a long with good wins should be a good fight.

Was that more to the fact that GGG knew Brook was coming up in weight and may not have been able to hurt him like a natural middleweight would have? He did the same with Monroe. When Golovkin faces an opponent who can potentially hurt him (Lemieux, Stevens etc) his defense although spotty is usually on point.

I think we'll see the same GGG that fought Lemieux - pumping out the ramrod jab for 3-4 rounds totally taking the fight away from Jacobs then landing the bombs when the openings appear.

I also think this fight goes Hagler v Hearns at some point with some brutal toe to toe exchanges

People forget how good a Jab GGG has.

I will say though i think Jacobs is well in this fight after what i saw Brook do to GGG in patches.

This is a Full Blown genuine Middleweight with way more power than Brook and anyone who can come through what Jacobs has personally has the mental will to succeed in anything in life.

Decent boxer too Jacobs and he has the faster hands.

Royally Proper fight this one and fights like this don't come around too often - i think this is gonna be a special fight

Okay, so this is the fight that I've been training for...all those late nights when I didn't make it to the main event, this is what I was honing my skills for. This is the weekend I make it to the main event!

I really do not know i am just saying that Jacobs can bang and he can box and has speed to go with it. He is about 10 x better then anyone i seen GGG with Brook being best talent so far i am looking forward to this fight big time.

I'm with ya. Most of us feel this is one of his biggest tests. Lemieux would have to up there. Murray. Brook. How would everyone see Lemieux/ Jacobs going?
