    I'm going against the grain here on the Canelo-Jacobs fight...

    Like most, I do think it's going to be a competitive fight that will end in a controversial decision...but it'll actually be a win in Danny's favor!

    I'm not sure why, i guess Canelo has been the beneficiary of too many high profile close calls already, that at some point it's gotta go the other way? And I see a lot of parallels with him and de la Hoya. He got the close nods in big fights over Whitaker/Quartey and everyone thought you had to KO him to get a draw back then. Then the Trinidad fight happened and that narrative changed. I see Jacobs as being Canelo's "Trinidad" moment. Just a gut feeling but eventually I do think canelo is gonna lose a close one.

      You may have something there. I remember the narrative was after the third Pacquiao Marquez fight that Pacquiao would never lose a close decision because he was the big cash cow and that if you wanted to beat him you would have to knock him out. Of course his next fight was against Bradley and we all know how that went.

        Yes, exactly. That's another great example. I feel like we may be in the midst of something similar happening here.

            Possibly, but i think Danny will utilize his reach and movement to avoid that from happening. Canelo's chin is too good to get Ko'd but Danny does have enough power to keep him honest imo.

                    I wouldnt be shocked if Canelo gets robbed either. If it could happen to de la hoya and pac, then canelo aint safe either
