Back pedaling and clinching shouldn't win you any points

 

[freakydestroyer]

I wouldn't call it a robbery even though I personally think Jacobs won. It was very close.

Yeah you might be right. I think we were just hyped to see Jacobs do so well.

 

[degenerate423]

I don't like throwing out the word "robbery," but Jacobs was robbed. I'm a GGG fan, but don't want to see him getting gifted wins.

 

[you go boy]

This is mad lame. Unanimous though like Jacobs ain't win round? Boxing was disappointing tonight

 

[FlipSide]

It can't be a robbery if the fight could've gone either way. I think the knockdown was the deciding factor here, but my goodness Jacobs fought a great fight.

 

[putting in work]

Told y'all what? Jacobs got robbed! Triple had that 1 knockdown but did nothing the whole fight and won. Ya right that's crazy

No I told yall that they would give GGG the win because they want to keep the superstars undefeated.

 

[blackcease]

Wasn't **** up for grabs man, Jacobs won by a decent margin. Wack decision

 

[snkrfollower]

Jacobs fought a good fight, a great fight, but what did he do to win a decision over a champion??? Sorry, but fighting 50/50 against a champ and getting knocked down in a round does not get you a decision. And to his credit Jacobs understands that he needed to do more to win the fight.

 

[a-friend]

1 step forward 2 steps back

Y'all knew Jacobs wasn't getting that

 

[AEA18]

Wow

Jacobs is definitely right about them wanting the Canelo mega fight for GGG

 

[Air Pope]

GGG looked VERY human that fight.

 

[dat dude chris]

Danny put it out there with that post fight comment on the GGG vs Canelo comment lol

I hate this stupid *** argument people make. In boxing, you win if you won more rounds. Jacobs clearly won more rounds. If you can't see that you shouldn't be watching boxing.

Jacobs was more active, landing the cleaner power shots...well landing the cleaner shots overall. Won more rounds also.

I don't agree with unwritten rules but I agree [emoji]128175[/emoji] this is what it is and how it is. Everybody knows this. Knock him out, knock him down and don't get knocked down or lose

 

[mr highness]

I like GGG but he should be more humble than just saying, "This is boxing".

Dmitry Pirog #1 Middleweight of all time.

 

[niketalker23]

This is a ******* joke

Most of those rounds were 50/50. And GGG had the knockdown. So....

 

[niketalker23]

You win more rounds you win the fight. This whole, "he needs to do more" is ******* stupid.

Dudes always have this weird thing about having to knockout or knock down a champion to win. That's not the criteria they claim to follow though. So it's wrong. But great fight either way.

 

[you go boy]

It's true though. You have to be very biased or not know anything about boxing to think triple g won that fight. And for him to win unanimous is disgusting.

 

[elpablo21]

most of the rounds...especially in the middle of the fight was not 50/50 lmao

 

[blackcease]

Seriously. I don't even respond to that kinda dumb ****. Either you won more rounds or you didn't. Jacobs clearly won by a decent margin tonight

There were 50/50 but most of them were clearly won by Jacobs outboxing him. A few flurries a round don't win rounds for me. This fight was an easy fight to score.

All I can say is WOW
