Dude still lost

Neither man wanted it badly enough in my opinion. That's why the fight was boring. This was a far cry from a crowd pleasing/fan friendly fight.

When champs fight, they're usually boring ''chess'' matches. Nelo did more than enough stalking. He couldn't get the guy with the advantages to do likewise.

Mismatches have more fireworks, no doubt.

Some were saying Jacobs simply blew off the weight restriction but really he only blew off as much as his budget would allow. He was likely 7-10 pounds lighter than he was against Golovkin. The Jacobs that faced Golovkin might well have beaten Canelo

This is the anti Maidana move. Remember when Maidana said he was willing to die in the ring only to accept money to switch gloves? Here, Jacobs was willing to forfeit money for a better chance at victory.
