Jacobs vs Canelo Predictions

[mike1010011]

Call me crazy,but Jacobs has all the tools necessary in order to give canelo fits. He'd be going in there with a 3 1/2 in height advantage,and a 2 1/2 in reach advantage. He's shown that he can fight going forward and backwards,has good handspeed,good power,and good footwork. If he rises to the occasion like he did against ggg,then it would be a long like for canelo. Jacobs would establish the jab,and every time that canelo would try to work his way in,Jacobs would step back,send out a jab or a 1-2 and make canelo reset. Canelo wouldn't enjoy the handspeed advantage he did against ggg. That means that if he tries to invest to the body too much,Jacobs would fire off quick combos,and light him up. I see Jacobs winning a 7-5,or 8-4 decision,but the official scorecards look something like 8-4,8-4,and 9-3, for canelo,where he's given rounds for simply being canelo.

I actually like this match up. I think they're evenly matched skillwise but Jacobs have the height and reach advantage. I see Jacobs doing very well and still losing by decision. It's almost impossible to win a decision against Canelo unless you win all 12 rounds and your name happen to be Floyd Mayweather.

Where is the split decision option?
Canelo needs close scorecards if he is to set up rematch options otherwise how is he going to fill out his dance card. Canelo is only winning wide when he needs an end. GGG 3 will be wide in Canelos favour regardless because GGG is too old to wait out a 4th fight. Then Saunders will get beaten in the UK before the Jacobs rematch.

I havent been this hyped over canelo fight since he fought Lara.

You got to give it up to Canelo/GBP for taking on tough oppositions consistently.
I know alot of fans didnt think he’d face Jacobs but look at him now.

This fight is very dangerous for Canelo and it could be a case of miscalculation from his matchmaker.

I havent made a pick yet but im leaning towards Jacobs.

I would be very surprised if either guy got knocked out. This is a true 50-50 fight. I'm thinking a split decision either way.

I think Jacobs peaked for GGG and GGG still clearly beat him in a close fight. I have not seen Jacobs look as good since his lost to GGG although he is still very good. Canelo gets better every fight. I think he hurts Jacobs with his wicked body attack and knocks Jacobs out in the late rounds or possibly earlier.

I know fights where someone should get ktfo usually end up going 12. For some reason I see Nelo going after DJ and I don't see DJ being able to take it.

KO 7.

If it's close, canelo by UD. If Jacobs won 8-4 or better, canelo by SD or MD. It really sucks how everyone knows Jacobs only chance is to knock him out or win all 12 rounds so dominantly that there's no way they can give canelo the fight without an investigation and people losing there jobs and getting sued. Canelo is a great fighter and I respect him keeping it classy when he talks about Jacobs and being willing to fight the best, but honestly a lot of that bravery is watered down when he knows all he has to do is win 3 rounds and survive for the win. If he wasnt so protected and consistently gifted every single controversial decision id like him a lot more. I don't hate the guy and respect a lot of things about him, I just don't like him. It's sad. Golden boy and the corrupt sanctioning bodies r taking a fighter I'd normally like and making me dislike him. That being said, I still think it's gonna be an entertaining fight.

Canelo will edge a close competitive fight but the judges will have it as a near shut out
