He had cancer of the fucking jaw at the time.
The only three people that could have scored the fight either way were Eugenia Williams, Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder. GGG is the favourite. He...
Why did Jacobs put the weight on, if he didn;t feel there was an advantage to it :dunno:
Which is why I drew a distinction between the "functional weight advantages" of people like Victor Ortiz and Canelo on one hand and that of...
Caveat means "Beware". I think that when a competent fighter is heavier, it will colour the result or the proceedings somewhat. I find plenty...
Agreed. The fact that Golovkin didn't stop him doesn't constitute a failure or an inability, by the same token.
JAcobs looked pretty spent at the end.I will be v interested to see how he does in his next competitive fight.

You seem to think it's a question of morals our outrage. It's not, at least not for me. I am only looking at it in terms of the cold hard...
I have spent the morning reading about Golovkins "failure" and "Inability" to KO Jacobs. It's all about expectancy and it's all about perception.
HAtton weighed in at 145 for his fight with Floyd. Hatton never had difficulty at 140 until the drugs and drink got to him in his last few...
Which is fine, but people have to accept that preconceptions count for shit. Ali should have blown Wepner away after 4 rounds, by conventional...
The weight is significant because it changes the immediate physical aspect of the fight. Suppose you have two equal fighters, one of whom makes...
Yes, good analogy, pressure changes everything. It's worth pointing out,and it says a lot about the mentality that people had about Jacobs not...
Again, there is a sanguine, relaxed almost casual value to GGG at times. Alvarez leaps in and generates, as Manny Steward would say, great...
Precisely. Jacobs can afford to carry extra weight and use it to good advantage, Alvarez basically uses extra weight because, essentially, he's a...
Jacobs was all elbows and forearms and height and made far better use of his "functional weight advantage" than Alvarez does. It's a totally...
"Millions of midgets. Illegal midgets. Undocumented Midgets. Ask anyone"
Also....Kellerman is a fool. Alvarez poses NO THREAT to GGG that GGG didn;t overcome tonight.
Jacobs is a bit better than what he showed vs Pirog, GGG isn't Marvin Hagler, he;s probably not even John Mugabi. And he's definitely slipped,...
British TV were a bit more sanguine, noting basically that the first 3 rounds could have gone anyway and that GGG got a knockdown in the 4th....
He fought well. He took full advantage of being the much bigger man. He kept it close.
He also missed quite a few shots in there. There were times Golovkin was nailing him to the belly and Jacobs was throwing and missing. And all of...
I see this phenomenon a lot. Guy is expected to get mullered, doesn't, his corner roar encouragement at him and before long people believe the...
Why do you think he got tired :dunno:
Well,yes, black fighters aren't what they used to be.
By the time Jacobs get's home tonight, you will have him down as winning by KO.
Kellermans a fucking idiot.
He looked slow and sloppy vs Brook and Jacobs is a bigger better Brook, so by natural progression, GGG looked worse again. Close fight, good...
Nah man, Jacobs didn't die, he must have won.
Separate names with a comma.
