By Dan Ambrose: WBA World middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (32-1, 29 KOs) has analyzed IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin’s game and he’s seen some defensive holes that he’s going to expose on March 18 in their battle on HBO PPV at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Jacobs has been studying the 34-year-old Golovkin for some time, and he sees all that he needs to see of the many build in limitations in his game to beat him. Besides the defensive problems in GGG’s game, Jacobs notices that he’s slow of hand. Jacobs sees his own hand speed, power and defensive skills to be ultimately too much for GGG when he gets him inside the ring in this important fight.
