The American lost to GGG in a unification fight for three middleweight championship belts in March 2017. Golovkin was recently challenged by Chris Eubank Jr (32-2, 23 KOs) and now by Jacobs.
“I was not surprised by what I saw in the ring, because I did not expect a better performance from Golovkin. But I was surprised by the judge's notes. I couldn't give Golovkin more than three rounds. Age eventually catches up with all of us, so it overtook him too. He looked old in this fight, and he just lost to a younger, fresher and faster opponent. I would like to have a rematch with him. It could be an interesting fight for the fans," Jacobs said.
Both Jacobs and Golovkin lost their last fights. Golovkin lost on points to Canelo on Sunday morning, and Jacobs lost to John Ryder in mid-February.
