You’re not going to believe this, but Bloody Elbow staffers are unanimously picking Gennady Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs) to dispatch Daniel Jacobs (32-1, 29 KOs) in Saturday’s HBO PPV main event in Madison Square Garden. What may genuinely surprise you just a tad is Fraser Coffeen’s breakdown, as he actually thinks Jacobs has what it takes to snap Golovkin’s 23-fight knockout streak.
Mookie Alexander: I think the Brook fight was uncharacteristically sloppy by Golovkin (in a fight he still easily won anyway), but the matchmaking itself was already bizarre thanks to Chris Eubank Jr. and his father teamed up to royally screw themselves.
