GGG sounds embarrassed, I think he knows he has been very very lucky there

max this is boxing

I thought Jacobs did enough to overcome the KD there. Both guys had their moments, but Jacobs showed versatility and intelligence to find a way against a GGG that at times looked very predictable. Faced with someone who can take his power, GGG didn't look as impressive. I have no interest in a Canelo fight, I would prefer to see Jacobs in a rematch. Canelo doesn't deserve a GGG fight either. He had his chance, he should be left out to dry.

Glolovkin seemed slow and flat he was a lucky lad.

I have a funny feeling this is the best of Golovkin at this point. Have to say for ppv the fights unfolded very level and thoroughly competitive. Hindsight being 20-20 great scraps

well the thing is canelo doesnt really need a golovkin fight at all, he is a big star and multiple weight world champion(well 154 and 155 division :S), he has the backing of de la hoya, canelo is in a pretty good position.. I would think golovkin doesnt really need a fight v canelo because who cares really but due to money making I would think ggg needs it more than canelo does

He's pretty old and didn't he have about 400 amateur fights?

[palmerq]

what the dickens is jim lampley rambling about :S struggling in a fight is a good thing....

[imp]

GGG IS 36...and now he's not fightingwelterweights anymore he needs to make that Canelo fight asap.

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)

Jacobs whipped his ass over last few rounds lets just be real, he pulled away stronger but no fuckin idea on cards. Jacobs impressed the shit out of me..I was totally wrong thinking he'd fold! Golovkin needs a rematch off tough scrap

Had GGG winning the last two rounds and clearly the last round. Jacobs tried stealing the 11th round in the last minute. Close fight no doubt, but I'm surprised so many had Jacobs winning. I expected more of a 50-50 split. Now, chocalito got robbed imo.

I didn't score but will enjoy the replay tomorrow. Still saw Jacobs looking stronger and fighting his fight second half. Static but effective. Golovkin would gain ground and not do work when he had Jacobs hung up and it's Jacobs upside now off coin flip decision.
