Nice, I always don't know if Chocolatito is fighting. How come he never considers going up in weight?

He just moved up in weight and fought Cuadras becoming the only Nicaraguan boxer to be 4 weight division world champion

Cuadras punched the shit out of Chocolatito. Chocolatito's face was pretty banged up. I know Chocolatito is a superstar, but I don't see him wanting a piece of Cuadras again any time soon.

Jacobs didn't show up to the second [IBF] weigh in so he's coming into the ring over 180lbs? IBF title not on the line. He skips vada drug testing and now this weigh in to gain an advantage, tsk. I hope GGG puts a savage beating on him.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Just watched women's boxing. Girl TKOed the other in like six seconds in the first. Two minutes later she's still surrounded by docs.

edit: Well ok more like 15 secs or so, but it was like the third punch.

 

[TheCrow]

I'm at MSG waiting to get in. There's so many GGG fans. Im hoping for a good fight. I think Jacobs is game.

 

[Fox318]

Really wanted to see the fight in person but the tickets were pretty pricey

I bought mine earlier today at $220 in the 100 level. Only to see it drop to $190 once I checked out. Feels bad man.

Lemieux did the same thing last week. It's irritating and bad practice for the sport.

I don't think any weight advantage will help Danny Jacobs, if anything it could make him slower and his speed is one of his strengths.

 

[Tater Tot]

damn he got dropped int he first

 

[Ether_Snake]

Why hug Gonzales? You're the underdog and knock him out and then hug him at the end of the first round like you did something you weren't supposed to. That kind of act always looks suspect to me.

Nothing suspect about it, but I hate it. Some people have too much sportsmanship.

[Tater Tot]

Great fight. Chocolatito putting in that work with that accuracy.

What's everybody's prediction in the Golovkin vs Jacobs fight?

 

[Oxn]

What's everybody's prediction in the Golovkin vs Jacobs fight?

Ggg by ko between 6-8 rounds. First 4 fairly even.

 

[BadAss2961]

Just tuned in. Knew this would be the ref he was talking about. lol

Best ref.

 

[lightskintwin]

Close fight, but I thought Chocolatito edged it out.

Don't think the challenger won 7 rounds.

 

[Tater Tot]

damnnnnnnnnnn can't argue with that. Was a close fight

That 10-8 1st round hurt him

 

[Syphon Filter]

wow no one expected this outcome.

 

[CopperPuppy]

Can't agree - had it 114-112 Chocolatito.

 

[jchap]

Close fight. Rematch plz

 

[BadAss2961]

They're definitely running that one back.

 

[lightskintwin]

They're definitely running that one back.

I think Chocolatito loses the rematch.

 

[illmatic22]

Close fight so I won't scream robbery. That said I thought Gonzalez edged it out.

 

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

I had the score the opposite way, but it was close as hell. A rematch needs to happen.

 

[TuXx]

Chocolatito is not an all time great. Chill out max

 

[RecRoulette]

Thought Chocolatito had it but it was close.

"One of the all time greats." Max please.

 

[illmatic22]

R.I.P. Jacobs in advance

 

[Tater Tot]

box nation commentators furious at Max over the decision comment

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Close fight. I won't say robbery. Could have gone either way. Gonzalez didn't really adapt to Rungvisai's style when they got close. Chocolatito was trying to prove something too much and it cost him the fight. He should have stayed at his range and pick him apart - which he did for the middle rounds until Rungvisai kept luring him inside and picked him apart.

Need to rewatch this next weekend, sober lol.

 

[lightskintwin]

I'm very curious what Jacobs game plan is going to be. I'd imagine the only winning one is to use his speed, athleticism, and footwork to box from the outside and keep Golovkin off balance by circling around him while unloading jabs and picking moments to throw the right hand. The problem is I don't think that highly of his boxing ability to be able to do it over 12 rounds.

I got Golovkin by KO in 8.

Love Max, but yeah...the fuck was that about?

Good seeing Chappelle comfortable back in public again.

Chappelle has been at the fights over the recent years. He was even in China at a Pacquaio fight.

Never noticed before. Still, I'm glad he's back.

Good seeing Chappelle comfortable back in public again.

He's got TWO Netflix specials coming out on the 21st, he's been back for a minute.

 

[lightskintwin]

Better yet, I remember watching Jacobs getting KO'd by Pirog. I might have to go Golovkin KO in 4. I don't think Jacobs has a high enough boxing IQ to implement whatever game plan Virgil Hill and Andre Ward suggested for him.

 

[TuXx]

HBO commentating is so disgusting. Could ya mouths be open any wider?

 

[Syphon Filter]

How come people hate Jacobs?

I like HBO commentators, but I know so many people who hate them like you do. LOL

 

[BadAss2961]

Well, Jacobs looks confident.

 

[Tater Tot]

Well, Jacobs looks confident.

I think Jacobs is the first opponent that does not look like he is about to crap himself before facing GGG

 

[lightskintwin]

How come people hate Jacobs?

I don't hate him, I would love for him to upset Golovkin. Plus he has a good comeback cancer story to root for. The problem is I've just watched enough of his fights to know that he's solid, but doesn't have "it" IMO to beat somebody like Golovkin. I would love for him to prove me wrong. It's why I think the middleweight division is pretty weak, outside of Golovkin so it's hard for me to gauge just how good Golovkin is.

Pirog was a GREAT fighter though, and Jacobs has improved since then. I agree that I don't think he's smart enough to stick with an intelligent game plan.
