Canelo was applying front foot pressure and trying to push Jacobs back but Jacobs used his quicker feet to constantly circle away. when Canelo was throwing shots not all were landing flush due to difference in foot speed between the 2 and Jacobs being in the southpaw stance.
watching that fight back Jacobs actually landed a fair few body shots on Canelo especially on the inside. Crawford could definitely emulate this style as he has the quicker hands and feet of the two, switch-hits like Jacobs and posses the longer reach. This strategy would fare him better than standing and trading with Canelo. Fighting in this way allowed Jacobs to take four of the last six rounds on 2 judges scorecards
