Unexpected ending - Golovkin vs Jacobs

[Alexandoy]

The middleweight championship between 2 knockout specialists ended in an unexpected decision. Everyone was anticipating a short fight since both fighters are capable of knocking out each other. Gennady Golovkin is undefeated with 33 KOs of his 36 wins while Daniel Jacobs has 1 loss and 29 KOs of his 32 wins. Aside from the only knockdown by Golovkn, the fight was uneventful.

Jacobs did well against Golovkin and even though the fight as close I think the decision was fair. A lot of people think that Jacobs could have got the decision or a draw but Golovkin was the better boxer in my opinion throughout the fight and Jacobs left it too late to make an impression on the judges. There should be a re-match, not only to stop the Jacobs camp feeling hard done by, but because it was a good fight to watch and a lot more tactical than what people thought it would be.

As you say, people expected one of them to walk out of there after a few rounds with a KO, but the fact that didn't happen as elevated the fighters even more in peoples estimations as it showed they can fight and they aren't just reliant on pure power like a lot of people accused them both of.
