Surprising Poll on the BoxRec forum which is usually mostly dominated you know whats - 45% think GGG won, 36% Jacobs. I should watch the fight again paying more attention to GGG's jabs.

I like Asian people so I'm glad to see an Asian champ. The Nicaraguan had great fighting spirit and a spectacular 46-0 record and I've nothing against him - except for the way he stormed out of the ring at the end - but there are more than enough mestizo boxers already.
The Thai boxer -...
They were really laying into the little creep for the way he talked to the Thai boxer, the way he said "they gave you the decision" instead of "you won". It was kind of funny when bug eyes tried to interview the guy because the interpreter wasn't the best and the Thai's responses had nothing...
The British announcers had it right, and his corner too. He was doing that stalking thing but not enough - in fact none - of the machine gun combos that made him famous.
Personally I enjoyed the fight before this one much better and, like I said, usually I'm only interested in the heavies...
Former heavyweight title challenger Mariusz Wach (33-2, 17 KOs) pounded out a twelve round unanimous decision over former Euro champ Erkan Teper (16-2, 10 KOs). The 6’8 Pole, a 2:1 underdog, won by scores of 116-112, 115-113, 115-113.
What did he do? I shut it off. You know who else showed no class, the Nicaraguan who lost to the Thai in the sensational fight that preceded this main event - 1,000X better than the main event - he just left the ring.
Jeez I sure wanted GGG to win but I don't think he did and for once I agree with the announcers.
"Didn't let his hands go enough. Looked too much for a perfect shot."
No he didn't do much.
Jacobs' excellent cornerman sounded like the excellent black guy who does that Youtube boxing betting show.
Thai not Chinese and I'm amazed they made a righteous decision! The negro ref had no reason to take a point off. I usually only like heavyweights but this fight was something else. Non stop action. Wow.

do u have a different one?
Weigh ins should be immediately before the fight. Fighters should have access to officially calibrated scales beforehand so they know what their weight is and how much they need to lose. This is stupid. The guy's supposed to be a middleweight but if he comes in over 175 he'll actually be a...
