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

Seems to be the consensus and rightfully so. But I do believe that a fighter can only have so many close fights go his way before it finally doesn't. If de la hoya and pacquiao can lose controversial decisions to lesser known fighters, then canelo can too.Comment

you forgot the ODLH decision over sturm and the mosley decision over ODLH in the second fight. but yes it will be a close controversial decision. as i mentioned in another post jacobs needs to finish strong in the last 30 seconds because it seems like judges are forgetting the other 2:30 minsLike 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.Comment
