If Jacobs has been hurt and put down then that spells trouble for him against GGG. It could be a short night.

I cant see anything other than a systematic beatdown by Golovkin.
He wont walk at him face first like he did with Brook and others. He'll give Jacobs the respect he gave Lemieux and dish out a one sided hammering.

Why's the weigh-in so early (completely out the loop with boxing this week, got shitloads of stuff saved to vids/pods/read)?

Exactly. this is very interesting. This weigh in was held about about at least 6-8 hours earlier than the usual weigh in. Presumably it would benefit Jacobs who had to lose almost 8lbs in the last 7 days and is the bigger guy. It could benefit GGG too but he's probably only going back up maybe 8-9lbs. (His same day weigh in for Lemieux was 168.2). The Jacobs camp said they "wanted to come in heavy". Theres another weigh in tomorrow at 9am to make sure neither guy has put on more than 10 lbs. Jacobs has started rehydrating and then after that weigh in tomorrow, jacobs can start eating his way back up till about maybe 4pm if he does't want to feel bloated and lethargic.
Here's the official reason on the early weigh in: "The Golovkin-Jacobs weigh-in was scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday largely because the New York State Athletic Commission must regulate another show Friday night in The Theater at Madison Square Garden. Irish Olympian Michael Conlan’s pro debut will be the main event of that card, which will be promoted by Top Rank Inc. and televised on delay by UniMas (11 p.m. ET/PT)"

They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

Fight can not come fast enough last time i was this hyped for 160 it was when Pavlik won the title. This has the making a good fight lets just hope it looks as good as it does on paper and should be better.

Always concerns me seeing fighters feverishly chewing gum. Always says to me I'm dry, or I'm shitting myself.
