The middleweight king Gennady Golovkin takes on the Daniel Jacobs on March 18 in a fight that might just be the most testing to date for GGG.
This should be an entertaining fight as both men have power and Jacobs has solid boxing ability. He stays on the ropes far too much for my liking however and I think this will cost him ultimately. Golovkin will close him down and open him up with the jab and land the big right. Jacobs has the speed edge and could make it tricky for GGG in the opening rounds but a great deal will be heavily reliant on the effect Jacobs power has. If he can get GGG's respect this should be an intriguing fight but if GGG walks through his power, I see it ending badly for Jacobs.
Golovkin win via TKO round 8
Thoughts?

Just watched it I thought GGG sneaked it! Jacobs deserves a rematch though! No way canelo beats either of them! Jacobs looked big but no way he was 185lbs! Out of curiosity does anyone know how fighters can put on up to 2stone in 24hrs

very happy ggg won.
was very nervous as ggg showed signs in is last couple of fites getting hitfar too often and that age is catching up on him and getting slower.
jacobs boxed a veryy good match but so happy for ggg.
hopefully canelo will fite now afer seeing what jacobs did to him.

GGG outpunched Jacobs 231 to 175
but what % of those punches landed ?
watching the fight I thought Jacobs landed a far higher % of the punches he threw
GGG was made to miss will an awful lot of his punches

Most of the weight they lose is water weight and the weight they put back on is fluids. The rest is made up by food.

I know how he weight goes on I'm just meaning 2 stone that's about 13litres of fluid in a day without pees
