Triple G ready to swing

jtoler · 03-18-17, 11:08 PM

I used to liken Danny Jacobs to a poor man's Ray Robinson 7-8 years ago, very talented. 30 years old now, should have seen more promoise than he has, but he's done well. Hope he takes GGG down.

Thor4140 · 03-18-17, 11:09 PM

JT im gonna give the first round to wonderboy lol

Thor4140 · 03-18-17, 11:13 PM

this has the makings to be a great fight fellas

jtoler · 03-18-17, 11:30 PM

Jacobs starting to counter the jab more, finally, thats one way to beat it and make him hesitant to throw it.

Bunch of fake fight fans want to compare MMA and boxing like dorks always wondering which one is better. I will continue to enjoy both venues. Who cares which one is better. If u couldn't get into the Danny Garcia title fight last weekend maybe u shouldn't be watching fighting. Just sayin

The Chocolatito fight was the fight of the year, boxing or UFC. That was incredible and this is shaping up to be the 2nd best. Wow what incredible action.

He's fighting with a lot of heart. Hope he doesn't get careless...

Thor4140 · 03-18-17, 11:37 PM

i have this basically even

Thor4140 · 03-18-17, 11:40 PM

jacobs had that round and then fuked it up

Mac4Lyfe · 03-18-17, 11:41 PM

Jacobs got careless, almost went down again. Close fight...

Mac4Lyfe · 03-18-17, 11:46 PM

I got Jacobs up 1 point, 6 rounds to 4 but lost a 10-8 round

jtoler · 03-18-17, 11:46 PM

Really good fight guys, going southpaw early looks like what has him still in this fight.

Thor4140 · 03-18-17, 11:49 PM

there are gonna rob this kid i can feel it.

Mac4Lyfe · 03-18-17, 11:49 PM

Jacobs is winning this fight. He's throwing caution to the wind. What a great fight. OMG

I don't think so. Jacob's won Golden Gloves in this arena. He's a local boy made good, recovered from cancer. I think they might give him the edge even though you're supposed to take it from the champ decisively, Jacobs has been the better fighter the last few rounds. This is tremendous. Either fighter may go down here.

Thor4140 · 03-18-17, 11:52 PM

i thought Triple G got that last round and won it.

I have this a draw. I actually had Jacobs winning by 1 point but you have to win decisively to take a title IMO.

I think the judges call this a draw as well.

Mac4Lyfe · 03-18-17, 11:55 PM

Split decision draw IMO

THE_LOCKSMITH · 03-18-17, 11:56 PM

hahahah, GGG was +400 at the end of the fight

Mac4Lyfe · 03-18-17, 11:56 PM

Triple G got the unanimous decision. Should have been at least a split decision there. I'd love to see a rematch but not sure GGG would want it as he can move on.

Thor4140 · 03-18-17, 11:56 PM

115-112 lol

Wow...

Punchstats was really in GGGs favor except for power punches. That was a good fight. 2 incredible fights back to back. I love boxing.

In Triple G's defense he looked like he was in a weight class below Jacob's

jtoler · 03-18-17, 11:58 PM

I thought it was close, wasnt scoring it, but felt prob that GGG edged it.

That's horseshit. That was as even as you can get in a fight.

I love that both fighters respected each other and hugged each other corners. GGG's trainer even gave Jacobs a squirt of water. I've never seen that before.

Jacobs put on a ton of weight for sure. He really deserves a rematch but it won't be for a while.

Mac4Lyfe · 03-19-17, 12:03 AM

Jacobs talking shit now and ruining it. Said, he won the fight by at least 2 rounds and is the real champ. Said he loses graciously and also wins graciously. Haha, dude just promote your opponent and hype him up which will only make you look better.

GGG is always gracious. He really knows how to edify his opponent and speak well of them. I love that about him.

jtoler · 03-19-17, 12:05 AM

Lol yea Jacobs sounded like a sour Hopkins up there, he kinda ruined it by talking like that.

Thor4140 · 03-19-17, 12:52 AM

Nice to see at least three of us still love to watch this sport. Don't get me wrong i love MMA but when u watch how these guys throw punches and than watch how most throw them im MMA it gets tough to watch MMA. I had this same problem with hockey. I was a huge hockey fan than i watched the world cup when Russia and Canada were the two top teams. Imagine Greztky, Mario, and Coffey all on the same team playing a Russian team who was just as good with the KLM line. JUst flat out fantastic hockey. When this was over the NHL continued their season and it was just awful to watch.

Mac4Lyfe · 03-19-17, 01:41 AM

This was a great night of boxing. Love the sport. some awesome UFC knockout tonight as well.
