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

[PeterPancakes]

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

On the back foot and backing up from power shots are not the same thing. Clearly, it was Golovkin's strategy in the 2nd fight to make the smaller man advance( and pay the price for doing so). I agree that Canelo did have a couple of moments where he made Golovkin "step" back and reset himself.... but it was not the same as when Jacobs cracked Golovkin so hard that he was "pushed" backward and seemingly confused, momentarily.

Honesty is the best policy

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

Most champions SHOULD have the benefit of the doubt in close rounds, which is exactly why Canelo IS different than most fighters. This guy takes the close rounds on the cards even when he is the challenger. I like Canelo. He is entertaining and ages like wine.... but let's be honest, here.

I'd say Jacobs career defining moment was vs GGG, a fight he lost.

And Canelo although hes a great fighter he actually lost his career defining fight against Floyd Jr

There is not only a one fight career defining

And Canelo did great things after that and he only was 22 years old when he faced Floyd

Jacobs career defining fight is against Canelo that is a better fighter than Golovkin

Fight will go to the scorecards and he has no chance of taking a decision. He took a fight for money and sold his belt. Facts

GGG sure didn't have the benefit of the doubt. I think the money fighter always has the benefit of the doubt, it's just that it's usually the champ that is the money fighter. Not with canelo, at least in Vegas. Not with Hagler against Leonard.

Well put. Canelo did have moments where Golovkin reset and stepped back momentarily but definitely not the same thing as backing up from power punches. In fact I don't remember Golovkin's back ever touching the ropes against canelo

If u deserve to win youll get robbed so its misplaced confidence

[alexjust]

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

Sadly, you missed the point.

GGG was robbed blind TWICE, jacobs is in for some heartbreak when he outboxes redballs but still loses the decision
