[brocktonblockbust]

I'm gonna try and get a ticket

[smashup]

I'd have loved to have flown over for this and looked into it but my baby is due anytime now so couldn't.
I've always fancied MSG over Vegas for a big fight as the venue is deep in history.
Definitely wanna see a Golovkin fight in New York in the future.
What's the buzz in the City like for this?
Jacobs is the homeboy but I hear he doesn't have a big fanbase?

Golovkin v Jacobs - Final NY press conference round-up


Jacobs has been sparring with Derevyanchenko, who is probably the best possible boxer to help him get ready for Golovkin.

He refused to fight Golovkin in December because he wanted more time to get ready. Now after the additional three months, he's very well-prepared for this fight.

Jacobs is very focused right now. An upset on Saturday wouldn't surprise me.

I would be surprised with a Jacobs victory. As I think most of the boxing world would be. It is a possibility but very slim in my opinion.

I agree. I think a lot of people, especially those basing Jacobs chances off of kell brook's performance, are going to be surprised. Barring a straight early Quinlin-ian blitz, I think Jacobs comes out and realizes the opportunities he thought was going to be there, aren't there. He has 2 options after that.. either a.) back off and try to coast around the perimeter and hope GGG sprains and ankle walking him down .... or... b.) pile on balls to the wall aggression hoping to see some light at the end of the tunnel (and wears himself out early).

Jacobs confidence is striking me as a bit of a red herring here. When you listen to him, he's trying to psych himself into believing he is up to the task. He might just be humble, but if i'm his trainer, i'm probably questioning his intent at this point. The people around him seem to know it too. If you listen to virgil hunters take he tips his hand in his comments that Jacobs has to "maintain the right mentality through the fight". He knows its not there all the time.

[Gandalf]

I just rewatched Jacobs/Pirog and thought Jacobs was winning the fight up until the stoppage and the stoppage was pretty dodgy. Jacobs was trying to get up and the ref pretty much just held him to the ground and stopped the count. Jacobs was shouting 'I'm okay' with some justifiable anger. Obviously not a man completely knocked from his senses. Jacobs is thought to be chinny because of that, but he would have continued and who knows? In the previous round Jacobs landed 3 times as many shots as Pirog and Lederman gave Pirog the round. Go figure. Jacobs is alright, but Golovkin is a monster. I'm supporting Jacobs.

[brocktonblockbust]

Have to agree and I'll try to get into The Garden on Saturday with some last minute ticket thingy that the brothers from Flatbush "make available" right before the ~bell rings~
