I disagree, because GGG has a granite chin and will take Jacobs best shots and keep coming.

Yes, well thnks Sug, massive respect an all, but that breakdown is perhaps a little sketchy on detail.

Nah. It's all soundbites ain't it? Someone shoves a mic under a guys nose and expects an in-depth fight analysis gonna be disappointed, I've noticed most boxers and trainers generally just open their gobs and let the words fall out. Funny thing is the amount of time the obsessives on forums spent trying to twist and turn and wring every last nuance outta this throwaway sheet.

There has been more Granite Chins in boxing than there is in the whole Chinese phone book, but if you get tagged just right, you are going down.

I expect Jacobs to drop GGG early, then depending on how well GGG handles it, maybe stop him.
If Jacobs doesn't catch GGG early, I think he will get a weary GGG late, or just dominate the late part of the fight and win a decision.

If GGG doesn't stop Jacobs within 6, I think GGG gets too weary to win late.

Agreed, GGG can take it but Jacobs not so much.

GGG destroys everyone in 160, especially that red headed putana canelo.

So much respect for Jacobs for pursuing this fight and trying to become the undisputed middleweight champion.
Unlike scaredy cat Canela Alverez

Certainly possible. But I can see GGG working behind his jab a lot more on this one, similar to the Lemule fight.

... misleading headline...

... "who hits who first, pretty much - and who stays in control"...

[Raimondo]

People get in love with that power but they forget that GGG's set of skills (great footwork, timing, judging of distances, balance and the ability to disrupt his opponent rhythm) help GGG to deliver his power and brake his opponents down. Also GGG can take a punch, he keeps his chin tucked.
