jacobs is no rocky fielding. Jacobs is the taller bigger fighter and will use that size to his advantage utilizing the jab. It will be a close fight 6-4 jacobs but canelo gets the decision even though in the eyes of the boxing world jacobs won clearly.Comment

Jacobs fighting in spurts and underperforming, making it close but not really decisively winning rounds. Not really going all out as he said he would, Canelo boxing, counterpunching in the pocket and stealing these rds. Fight wont be as good as Canelo vs GGG. Jacobs hasnt looked great in his last couple fights, after facing GGG. Canelo winning 116:112 on the cards and Jacobs claiming he did enough to win.Comment

You could argue that Jacobs fights to the level of his opposition. But I think he hasn't looked good post GGG, and Canelo has looked very good imo. I think hanging on in that GGG fight took a lot out of Danny.
The first 4 rounds are feel out rounds, probably splitting them 2-2. But the people rooting for Danny will call it 3-1 or maybe 4-0, and the same for Canelo's fans calling those rounds in Canelo's favor.
I think Canelo continues to find the body in the middle rounds and Danny moves/runs a bit more than he has been. I think Canelo throws Danny off of his gameplans and Danny begins to go into survival/last 12 rounds mode. 3-1 score for Canelo in rounds 5-8, with a couple fairly close rounds and a couple pretty clear Canelo rounds.
Whether he sees it out depends on Canelo's ability to land the right shots and his stamina. I could see a 3-1 type finish, similar to the middle rounds - with 2 clear for Canelo and 2 fairly close - for Canelo for an 8-4 win. Or I could see a late stoppage if Danny is gassed.
Danny's heart will and toughness cannot be questioned after beating cancer. But I have a favorite saying - 'you can't fake desperate' and I don't think Danny will come into this Canelo fight as desperate to prove himself as he was in the GGG fight. I don't think he can get himself up to that level again. And I think he will get worn down and beat 8-4 or possibly a late stoppage. Canelo is looking a level or two better than him right now imo.Last edited by Boxing_1013; 04-30-2019, 07:36 PM.Comment

I don't think Jacobs has looked as good since he lost to GGG and he won't be able to skip the morning weigh in so that might weaken him.Canelo looked better than ever last fight. I think it will be a close hard fought battle with Canelo getting the best of it and stopping Jacobs in about the 9th or 10th round with Canelo's body attack being a major factor.Comment

It's proven in the two fights Golovkin had with Canelo you won't get points for out boxing him and zero points for using your jab. Danny has a big hill to climb and he hadn't looked like a world beater in his last few fights. Danny is a good boxer just as good as Canelo when he doesn't lose focus. Thing is he isn't as consistent as he should be at this level.Comment
