Golovkin v Jacobs

Not sure if anyone is staying up for this as I guess it's pretty much a guaranteed GGG win. Same goes for Gonzalez I guess

But if you are you can keep me company

All my Irish mates are tipping Michael Conlan to go all the way after last night in MSG

I think winning in rugby today and stopping and English Triple Crown and Grandslam has gone to their heads personally

Anyway...after the Haye v Bellew shambles here's to a good night of boxing

Won't get the chance to see it but expecting a fairly easy night for GGG. I like Jacobs but a weak chin isn't what you want when fighting GGG.

Enjoy though mate!

Will read up on the thread in the morning.

Cheers mate. Watching it sober as well as had man flu all week

Ah well that's better than Khan v Canelo where I passed out during round 3

Fighting hard with sleep after a long day but true to form should perk up as it draws in.

I feel like the opinions on dj's chin are a bit exaggerated but none the less i think he'll start well but ggg wears him down and gets the late, on his feet tko.

Eubank is allegedly "after the winner" biro finally found?

I just read that Jacobs won't be fighting for the IBF version of the middleweight title tonight as he didn't participate in the day of the fight weigh in.

I didn't even know that the IBF had a second weigh in for their title fights. Apparently, they have a rule where the fighter cannot weigh in 10lbs more than the weight limit for the fight, which in this case was 160lb.

Congratulations for this rule. The IBF just shot up a long way in my estimation.

Crikey...Gonzalez down in the first and losing the second round

Back in it though

All out war this, gonzales starting to pick him apart but the guy is carrying big power

Great fight

Is there enough blood everywhere?

Rungvisai has done it. I couldn't have called that one. Great fight

Jesus what a fight that was. Good luck with the main. Got a lot to live up to now! Gonzalez finally defeated.

Personally thought Gonzales was hard done by

Yes rungvisai was amazing, gonzales was always the one picking the best shots think he did enough to win at least 6 rounds

Anyways great fight sure we'll see a rematch, gonzales may need to move down in weight though

Let's hope for more of the same with the main evemt

Tense opening 2 rounds, not much action yet Jacob's moving nicely

Guess both guys have 90% KOs so no surprise that they don't want to make a mistake

Been a decent fight so far. Reckon if you're kind you could give Jacobs the first three rounds. But he got knocked down in the fourth. Looks like it's the beginning of his trip to emergency care.

He's not unfolding though

GGG opening up a little bit but Jacobs having some moments

Jacobs done well but Golovkin starting to walk him down a bit now. Another good fight so far to be fair

Gotta give that one to Jacobs definitely

Got it even after 6, gave the first one even think Jacobs has won the 2nd 3rd and 6th, GGG evens it up te KD

Through six you could either have Jacobs 4-2 for a 57-56 Jacobs scorecard, or you could have it 3-3 meaning GGG is up 57-56

Have it even after 7...Good fight.

Gone are the rumours of Jacob's dodgy chin. Even on the knockdown he looked ok

Really enjoying this, not much swaying these rounds it's really an interesting fight

76-76 for me

This is a bloody close fight

GGG guilty of head hunting......he's landing some good shots but if he invested in the body Jacobs may not be moving as freely as he currently is

Reckon that was a GGG round.

Have GGG 2 up now. Jacobs boxing nice but shots are pitter patter.

Think GGG is up by one after 10. This is going to rematch city though

Got it Jacobs up by one, think he's landing the cleaner shots and more of them

Last round now. Can see a draw or GGG majority.....

Have it even after 11.

I honestly can't pick it but I'm crap at calling fights anyway. Chatting to my mate online who got Golovkin ahead

Flip a coin for me

Even after 12....think more people have GGG ahead though


Surely Gonzales and GGG can't lose on the same night....

Got on twitter. Looks heavily split. Can't call it

Jacobs boxed well but didn't really engage in big drama show.

I'd give it to the champ. GGG by a couple for me.

Can see a draw but can't see a Jacobs win. Boxed very very well though.

Think a lot of the sites have GGG by 2....Yet to see one for Danny.

The way I saw it was Jacobs managed to snap GGG head back most rounds, GGG was hitting arms mostly

As I said it's close I have it even....and I gave the first (probs a Jacobs round) as even

I thought Golovkin would get the nod

GGG takes it

115-112 x2
114-113

Hats off to Jacobs, I'm sure he'll try get a rematch

A little bit if the aura maybe taken of GGG? Hopefully canelo will fancy himself now

they should rematch. Canelo doesn't beat either of these two. He lacks the height and size which Jacobs had to nullify him, and if Jacobs chin is as good as it looked here, I'm not sure how Canelo wins 7 out of 12 rounds against him?
Seems two of the judges had it like me, with Golovkin winning the final round. First time in my life I've scored a fight this well. Frak Yeah!

this was an IBF fight yeah? Does anyone have Jacob's fight might weight? Must have been a cruiserweight tonight.

GGG is so odd. "I'm like Animal for Canelo"

"I want decision fight so won't destroy Jacobs i respect his team"

Funny.

One thing I noticed tonight was GGG really doesn't have an inside game, he seemed to tuck up a lot think he was bothered by the body shots

He probably beats canelo down, but canelo is a hell of a fighter especially in the pocket and particularly to the body

But I do think Jacobs is the harder fight, big quick middleweight

he never turned up for the pre fight IBF weight check which meant the IBF wasn't on the line

Well there's a surprise. Can't weigh people on the television, but he's about the same height as Kovalev, who weighs 180-185lbs on fight night. Think he looked about the size Kovalev does fight night

yeah he looked huge, he's 6ft tall, very big at the weight

Looks like I missed a great nights boxing. I'll have to watch it on catch up later. Incidentally a lot of pros appear to have scored it to Jacobs. So really interested in seeing it with my own eyes.

Either way it appears the miricale man lives up to his name again.

Just watched the fight on You Tube, Jacobs fought a smart fight imo and frustrated GGG but imo the latter won a close but clear decision. Credit to Golovkin beating a guy who as others have already commented looked at least two weights above, fight night weights might make interesting reading.

I think GGG v Canelo is a great match, I think Alvarez can take enough from his own skillset, this and the Brook fight to give GGG a hell of a fight.

Haven't seen the fight. No doubt many will use this as a stick to beat GGG. I won't, because Jacobs is a very good fighter, that has been on a great run. I did predict GGG to break him after a tough start.

Jacobs Is a very big strong mw. I hope Canelo fights GGG and the winner faces Jacobs. Looking forward to watching this.

Be nice to see GGG in a close fight.

Just watched a recording nice little robbery that, Jacobs won it

Golovkin looked a little sluggish maybe an off night

I will watch it later. Was it good
