Comments Thread For: Jacobs Credits Canelo For Taking Fight He Didn't Think He'd Get

[Shadoww702]

Didn’t think he would either, Jacobs is the worst style match up for Canelo outta the top middleweights!

Jacobs has Impeccable technique, can fight southpaw and orthodox, fast hands, explosive power, knows how to use the ring, and has good ring IQ! Btw his jab is underrated, thought it gave ggg’s jab a run for its money when they fought!

Canelo will have a full plate to deal with Jacobs but if there’s anyone with the experience, skills, discipline and overall ring intelligence to beat Jacobs...it’s Canelo!

Gonna be a great fight, both guys aren’t one dimensional!

IDK??? I would probably say Saunders but hes VERY inconsistent??? Or Andrade???

Depends which Jacobs shows up??? The version that boxed outside on GGG??? Or the one took chanches and stayed inside Sergiy....

I can't help but analyze any Canelo's fights now in light of judges scoring.

It does a great disservice to the sport and to Canelo's reputation because he is truly a gifted fighter and he should be top 3 even without judges' help.

Agree.

I think the GGG fights were MORE fairly scored than most fans suggest overall (obviously the Byrd card was sh^thouse rat crazy), but their is no denying Canelo has numerous fights with judges who lean his way & very often one very sketchy judge. Ffs its still insane to think about but 1 judge had the Floyd fight a draw somehow.

Saunders is a supermiddleweight now, he ducked the division to move up to a less talented division and less competitive one cuz he knew he was gonna be found out!

A smart pressure fighter who has good feet and goes to the body can beat Saunders!

Canelo would’ve had a rough time early but those bodyshots would’ve took a toll or drop Saunders!

Either version of Jacobs would be a real tough one for Canelo, he obviously won’t be fighting Canelo like he did Serg, I can see him using his reach and counter when Canelo comes in!

Either way, respect to Canelo for chasing greatness, he could’ve fought a hasbeen and got the check!

And the funny thing is that when somebody leans towards one or the other fighter, people assume this is to a point of denying the skill of the one they didn't pick as a winner. I supported GGG in both fights and, personally, believe he was clearly robbed in the first fight and in the second a fair decision would have been a draw. But while I think GGG was robbed, that is not to say that Canelo didn't give GGG hell of a fight in either fights or that it wasn't close.

There is just way too much of that smoke in the form of pro-Canelo decisions to think that there is no fire... Well, Danny might learn that the hard way, unfortunately. It would be a shame though, I think he would be a good ambassador for the sport and he's clearly an elite level fighter. That is not to say I think he beat GGG

I didn't think Canelo would give Jacobs a chance either. Canelo could of used the old phrase "there's no money in a Jacobs fight" line. And some would have agreed with that.

When I heard the announcer say that one judge scored it a draw, I thought he misread the scorecard. So I was waiting for him to catch his mistake and when he continued I was like WOW! That judge really had it a draw smh

Jacobs figured Alvarez would choose another opponent, someone less threatening than him to the Mexican superstar's middleweight championship reign. The Brooklyn native was pleasantly surprised in mid-January, when Golden Boy Promotions and Alvarez accepted DAZN's offer for their middleweight title unification fight at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Canelo is a stud for taking that fight

this HUGE opportunity needs to be grabbed with both hands

nah, Saunders will fight anyone

moving up a division has more to do with difficulty making weight

BJS is my boy..... but it appears like that banned substance he got caught taking may well have been the difference between making 160, or not

not 100% sure about that..... but he did sign to fight Golovkin TWICE, so he obviously aint ducking anyone

that shlt he was taking should be banned, period..... that was lame

and unlike Golovkin, Canelo is actually a superstar..... so the punters who accepted that excuse whenever Golovkin used it, could not have criticized Canelo for using it

Team Canelo said that they will clean out 160

it looks like Canelo is being true to his word

it is great being Canelo fans..... not having to embarrass ourselves by making silly excuses

Jacobs has been wanting this fight for a long time hopefully he rises to the occasion.

With that said Jacobs doesn't fight tall and use his reach. As we saw in the last performance. I think the guy had a 67 1/2 reach and still was able to tag him.. So look for Camillo to win this one.
