Comments Thread For: Canelo: Jacobs Switches, But Southpaws Not Complicated For Me

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Daniel Jacobs isn't quite as adept at fighting from a southpaw stance as Terence Crawford. The IBF middleweight champion is completely comfortable, though, switching from his natural, orthodox stance for long stretches in fights. The athletic, intelligent Jacobs' ability to fight from different positions makes him more complex to figure out than typical opponents.

Ggg got to pick the most favorable judges ffs who had already favored him previously. To top it off canelo supposedly barely won the rematch on all 3 judges cards including the judge ggg chose despite CLEARLY winning 7 rds imho. In the 1st fight he drawed in a split decision with 1 wide card & gggs favorite judge barely had him winning. So what part of any of those things demonstrate that canelo has judges in his pocket?

even byrds card only meant she gave canelo all the close rds.

Name me your favorite fighter so I can show you which fights the judges were as biased af as can be,I bet you whoever your fav fighter is has had 12 rd won gifts before

Yes, South paws aren't difficult for him, that's why he was so dominant vs trout and Lara right??

that was a lesser version of canelo, he has learned from those fights, this version of canelo stops those two now... if jacobs is looking at the video from those fights looking for a strategy then is going to be a long night for him...
canelo is a differrent animal now and you will see on may 5th...

Canelo did not dominate Lara and Trout more because they are good fighters than because they are southpaws. But the reality is that Canelo has faced very few southpaws in his career. The only other one that comes to mind is Kirkland. Crawford is equally effective with either stance, but Jacobs is more effective with the right-hand stance. It is going to be interesting to see how Daniel Jacobs takes advantage of both stances and how Canelo reacts to them.

that's what you say but I still haven't seen him be dominant vs elite competition, regardless of what some scorecards may say. He's always looked good vs lesser competition and struggled to impress or seperate himself vs top competition. And either way, he's saying that he handles southpaws very well, what evidence is that based on because as I said, his performances were underwhelming vs both trout and Lara.
