    If you fancy Jacobs to win by ko/tko and want to make some money but cover your losses then do this at Betfair - make 5 bets as follows. You only lose if there is a draw [but if you think that might happen bet on it or add it in]

    GGG win 1-6 - odds 2.4 - bet 8.33 - win 3.28
    GGG win 7-12 - odds 3.5 - bet 5.72 - win 0.67
    Jacobs win 1-6 - odds 9 - bet 3 - win 5
    Jacobs win 7-12 - odds 15 - bet 3 - win 27
    Fight goes distance - odds 4 - bet 5 - lose 0.05

    Adjust bets slightly if you favor jacobs to get ko in rounds 1-6 and also to cover going distance eventuality.

    You won't make spectacular money but you will cover your ass make reasonable money especially if you trade up amounts.

      About a 4. I think GGG is the better fighter, but he's not superman. This certainly wouldn't be one of the most shocking outcomes, IMO.

          All bets are off at that age...someone could go from looking great to looking washed up in their very next fight.

            If I woke up tomorrow and the fight was happening I'd say "Who the *** gave me 10 sleeping pills Wednesday night and what the *** is all this piss and sht doing in my bed?!!!!". The only way I'd be more shocked that if they fought tomorrow is if I woke up and my a$$ was crazy glued to the carpet and pink flamingos were dancing on my belly!

                  I'd be really shocked...1st time a boxer wins a fight 2 days prior to the fight.

                    I am not sure how this 1 to 10 scale works but 8 seemed about right to me. I have total faith that GGG will knock out Jacobs and any other boxer who fights at 160 or less. GGG is a monster puncher and a great finisher. I remember the impressive barrage of fast, hard, accurate punches Jacobs used to KO Kid Chocolate. I can't rule out the possibility of Jacobs winning I just think it's very unlikely.

                      Loeffler just tweeted that if Jacobs fights Thursday it may affect the fight happening on Saturday night vs GGG. And there he was hating on what Canelos team said about his June fight with Saunders. The hypocrisy.
