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

[Dean Duke]

This is a cracking matchup but I don't think Jacobs is tough enough to take a beating. Getting ironed out by Pirog ain't half as bad as being dumped by Mora - it wasn't even a nothing flash knockdown, he sat there like a space man then had a wibble-wobble standing up.

Jacobs can obviously punch, but I can't see Golovkin getting snipered with one shot, you'd need to bash him up to stop him. Golovkin is too smart to start reckless, he'll have a little look at first, which will make Jacobs sniper right-hand from distance look sexy, then Golovkin will take the distance away from him, force him to fight going backwards and it's goodnight vienna.

Golovkin KO rd 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 at a general 10/1-14/1.

(sorry to write this, not my style, but I'd be surprised if Jacobs isn't brutally knocked out)

I think the same way, but hope Jacobs can win a few rounds and maybe go the distance. That would be an achievement and far beyond what anyone else has done against GGG.

Shows how tough Murray was

Said before i think GGG will do exactly what he did against Lemieux but will Jacobs come forward looking for single shots like Lemieux?

I also have a gut feeling this could be like Hagler v Hearns at some point

Really wanna see Golovkin take some heavy shots and be in the trenches tonight, hopefully Jacobs is the man to finally do that

I have ordered the ppv... not sure if it is worth it though... if the gonzalez fight turns out to be good then it could prove good value but looking at the card i suspect I shouldnt have paid.

Do not regret it, just enjoy it.

Got it for free too!

I don't see the big deal about missing the second weigh in. He made the weight and that's it as far as I am concerned. If you hold the weigh in too early, then fighters will rehydrate. Shouldn't matter what you weigh if you have made weight already.

nice this fight turned pretty good... cuadras is taking a lot now after looking in control, I thought it started off a bit uninteresting but has burst into life, good fight !..

would like to see cuadras take on inoue to build up a gonzalez fight

will do, hbo usually present it all very well so it is pretty much always enjoyable getting a ppv as long as you dont think about it to much :S....

martin v cruz is a huge size mismatch :S... peewee cruz isnt a lot worse than him, nice body punches but he cant dent him and when martin hits peewee he really hurts him.

HBO take the piss charging $64.95 for the HD PPV

Thats over £52 in English money!!!

FUCK THAT

[palmerq]

yes and that.. uk ppv prices were way better too.. mayweather pac man ramped it up too :S pretty sure it was usually around 50 before that one then pacman floyd was 99 so they snuck the other prices up too ...

[Spicoli]

Really surprised Jacobs blew off the 2nd weigh in. Can only assume he's stuffed or some screwy trinket politics. Just doesn't seem like him either way.

Ryan Martin looking good here.

[Master]

Ref needs to stop this fight.

[Spicoli]

You know you're in deep beating when the corner asks you for a Aaron Davis ko comeback on Breland. Nice flashback but this is probably his last round, needs to be
