Comments Thread For: Jacobs: I'll Beat Canelo - I'm Faster, Taller, More Range Than GGG

[QballLobo]

I like Jacobs but he won’t win this fight. Canelo is in his prime and Jacobs is a bit past it. Will be a good scrap to watch but I have Canelo by TKO in the 10th.

He might have some physical advantages over GGG but he definitely doesn't have GGG's chin. We have see Jacobs hurt many times, wobbled, dropped and even KO'd. GGG face was falling apart can Jacobs take those same shots and remain standing?

Stylistically it will come down to how Jacobs wants to fight if he gets on his bike canelo will stalk and abuse him to the body. If he comes at Canelo too aggressive he opens himself up to counters and it could be a highlight reel Kirkland style KO. Canelo had GGG pulling a No Mas on all that Mexican Style talk for a reason and he hits harder and can take more punches then Jacobs.

Style wise Jacobs is a tougher match up for Canelo than GGG because unlike Golovkin he can fight well moving backward. If he can put everything together I think he's got a good shot at beating Canelo.

Let's see how he does when he doesn't fight as a LHW.

Very interesting fight.


Jacobs has all the tools to make this difficult for Canelo.

Canelo is in for a Rude Awakening. ..
I give him credit for taking this fight...GGG was in No big rush to fight Jacobs Again....and for good reasons..
Canelo hit GGG but he couldn't do something Jacobs could do to GGG...
Wait For It!.....
Jacobs had GGG Backing Up once he felt Jacobs POWER!
What will Canelo do..once he get Hit by Jacobs?.....

This is tough tough fight for both men. Both went to war with GGG and both had cases they won their respective fights against GGG, with Canelo obviously getting the nod this past September. I see the youth and class of Canelo coming through in this one, nothing can really stop him now he is the king at 160.

Didn't you watch Canelo-GGG 2 ? Canelo was backing down Golovkin and controlled the middle of the ring.

Saul "Canelo" Opponents who face Canelo are usually in fear of the judges. In a fight where Canelo was dominated by Floyd Mayweather - one judge scored it a draw. And Golovkin was widely viewed as the winner of his first bout with Canelo, and that bout was scored as a split draw.

I wonder why??? I give Jacobs an outside chance to win in the ring, but there's no way he can beat the judges in a Canelo fight.

[Clegg]

I thought Jacobs won more rounds vs GGG than Canelo did in the first fight vs GGG. But expecting Canelo to win this one.

Reasons for why I think Jacobs did better is he had a good am career involving a lot of fights vs strong EE technicians. Canelo had a lot less experience against that style. Also Golovkin tends to shell up a bit when an opponent opens up, so Jacobs was able to flurry on G's gloves then hook around them and then move away, Canelo was too much of a counter puncher first time vs G and that's difficult against a guy who mostly jabs and isn't going for combinations or big risks.

If Jacobs goes for the Lara approach it could work. But it would be a real close low-action fight and judges likely go against the 'runner', especially here in a Canelo fight. I see him looking to box, use his length and pick his moments to open up, wouldn't be surprised if he hurt Canelo at some point but over 12 don't see him having the skills and focus to win most of the rounds.

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Danny Jacobs will put their world middleweight titles on the line in a May 4 unification bout, the fighters confirmed last week. Canelo, who defeated Gennady Golovkin in a rematch last September, is the reigning WBC and WBA middleweight champion. Jacobs holds the IBF's version of the 160-pound title.

He is straight dreaming or bringing his own judges.
