I want people to remember how overrated Golovkin was and how you can get exposed when you've never fought a great fighter that can box in a weak division.

GGG's first loss against somebody good. Nothing wrong with that. Speed is GGG's weakness it seems.
Jacobs fought a damn good fight imo.

That and I think using his size to his advantage and hanging all over GGG. He won almost all of the exchanges inside.

loljudges going to come into effect, but I have Jacobs winning. What a fucking performance by him, I thought he was doomed after that first knockdown.

Good fight. Could go either way, but I think GGG gets the edge.

Canelo bout to take home $10 million plus to fight a literal bum. His pockets are straight.

Awesome performance by Jacobs. We just saw why Golovkin hasn't moved up in weight to fight someone like Ward. Big difference when you're not fighting blown-up welterweights.

114-113 GGG

Jacobs no doubt. Anything else is a robbery. In fact, I'm ready to be outraged because I know the fuckery is coming.

GGG was the overwhelming favorite, people were making insane comparisons to Marvin Hagler. GGG's resume is extremely thin despite people rating him in the top 2 P4P. Jacbos is a good fighter, not a great fighter, and still got exposed.
Ward would've boxed circles around Golovkin.
This is what I'm suspecting.

Yep, I knew judges were going to give GGG a win by 3.

Knew GGG had it once I heard two sets of 115-112.
Was closer than that, but I think he did enough to get the win.

The same fuckers that talked shit after Ward/Kovalev better be here to shit on this horrible decision as well!
Fucking load of horseshit!

Kind of like Kov-Ward, not sure how you can call robbery when the fight was this close and could go either way.

Fight was close. Could have went both ways but I thought it was Jacob by a point.

Close fight. Y'all are crazy if you think it was a robbery though. I watched the fight on mute though. Commentary was especially trash today.

It was a super close fight and the knockdown was the difference. If you think this is a robbery, how did you like your first boxing telecast?

Could have gone either way but we really saw a massive flaw in GGG's game. Speed and intelligence. Props to Jacobs for fighting a damn good fight and gave GGG one good fight.
If only Jacons really opened up in the early rounds and utilized his speed and iq he would have beat GGG.

Yeah, I don't think it's a robbery but I do think Daniel Jacobs won.
Canelo doesn't have the same strengths as Jacobs such as speed, athleticism, and footwork.

Aside from the knockdown, what exactly did GGG do? He lost almost every exchange, just followed DJ around the ring landing an occasional jab. This is straight up bullshit!
