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

[THE THIRD MAN]

GGG just had an off night, how much of that is due to age, weight difference or just Jacobs ability we will never know. I had GGG winning narrowly and he was frustrated.

If they are going to persist with weigh ins the day before then why isn't the weigh in exactly 24 hours before the fight? What is this midday or 1pm bullshit?

Is this not enough time to give the athlete a chance to put all the water weight back on? Or is it just so promoters get a chance to deal with fighters that miss weight?

Why can't they have the weigh in at 9 or 10pm the previous night approximately 24 hours before fight time? Instead they get 34 or 35 hours? IMO that is too much time between weigh in and fight time.

That was not a Middleweight contest we witnessed.
