Comments Thread For: Daniel Jacobs: Canelo Fight is My Defining Career Moment

[alexjust]

Most champions HAVE ALWAYS had the benefit of the judges. Canelo is no different than most others in this regard.

How much benefit of a doubt did GGG get when he fought Canelo? What about Mayweather? It can't all be accidental with Canelo getting the decisions in close fights or rounds in his favour.

Canelo isnt losing a decision.
He looked awful against Lara and he still got that decision lol

Lara looked sheet in that fight dude vs how hes performed against others lol once Canelo started cutting the distance n started connecting, Laras performance drastically changed... Canelo appeared to be the more effective puncher by how Lara was responding. Theres movement then theres running, May beat Canelo with movement..Lara ran from those body shots.Clear decision but a horrible style match up.

Mayweather quite possibly lost 2 fights in his career but was granted decisions. Almost any notable champion was granted decisions. This is nothing new and certainly not anything Canelo just discovered

This will be a decent fight; close, maybe even a controversial result - but Canelo will win on the cards. Unless he suffers a major dip in popularity at some point, Canelo will only lose if somebody sparks him the fark out.

danny jacobs needs a knockout just to get a draw

I notice in Both Canelo fights with GGG...he Never back GGG up with his Power....
On the other hand....Jacobs did have GGG backing up when he landed his Power shots. ...
Jacobs have to keep this fight out of the Judges hands.....I got Jacobs in this fight..

Is DLH making sure C.J. Ross is working this fight? He gave Canelo 6 rounds vs Mayweather, hes a true asset to GBP.

No accurate. Canelo did have GGG on the Blackfoot in the second fight, Jacobs did it momentarily, eve less so

Danny COULD be the best....

Could be...But I doubt he ever WILL be. Danny Jacobs is a powerhouse ( who happens to forget himself, lately). He is highly skilled. ..highly intelligent.... He is strong, long and just an all around large middleweight. I had him winning against Golovkin by 1 point, despite the knockdown but could totally see it going to GGG, so no complaints from me. The boxing pedigree in Jacobs is absolutely apparent, but while he IS a master at his craft... He has forgotten that his most impressive strength is his ability to impose himself on his opponent. Perhaps it is his memory of the Pirog fight? Maybe it is something that has changed since defeating cancer? I am unsure. All that I know is that in his last 4 fights, when seemingly hurting his opponent with his destructive power... he never even looked like he wanted to close the show, let alone attempted to do so. If he plays chess with Canelo, then Danny may be in for a difficult night ( all judging aside). But if a smart, strong, determined Jacobs shows up and begins the night with a solid jab, slowly working his way to pushing his opponent back to the ropes and landing solid power shots proceeding to more of a "bully" type of style.... Then I do believe Mr. Jacobs will win this match by stoppage. Unfortunately, I do not believe Jacobs will take the necessary risks to make this happen. I suspect Canelo will win this fight on the cards, via controversial decision.
