    You must be a casual expecting two cavemen swinging for the fences these are pros breh..
    You must be the casual who started watching boxing with Floyd Mayweather who is cheering for businessman who try not to get hit all night and bore the crowd to death.

    Have you ever seen any GGG fights? Even GGG in his mid thirties put up better fights. Have you seen fights from Hearn, Hagler, Leonard, Barkley, Duran, even Martinez or Pavlik etc?

    Boxing is an entertainment, you cant possibly tell us that these two fighters tonight went to war and tried to knock each other out/fight for their lives? Nope they fought for their paychecks and now go party together.

        Jacobs was very hesitant, especially in the first half of the fight. Canelo neutralized him.

          Jacobs almost lost to Derevyanchenko, if Derevyanchenkos name was Gonzales then Jacobs would have lost that fight.
          Nice racism

          Anyhow I like when Canelo lit Golovkin up like Michael Jackson. That was my favorite

            bruh i been watching boxing since Chavez/DLH and before Floyd was even a known commodity...

            I want to see good fights, they don't have to go out there and try to kill eachother for it to be good... not every fight gotta be on Gatti/Ward tier come on dude...

            The fight tonight was a good solid scrap... it did take a little while for it to heat up I'll give you that.....

              It was definitely far from a fan friendly/crowd pleasing performance that's for sure. This has to rank up there with one of Canelo Alvarez' worst performances ever.

              This is his worst perform since Erislandy Lara. I just wonder how could he struggle to put punches together against Danny Jacobs but not against Gennady Golovkin?

I doubt that he expected to be faced with reflexes that quick. To his credit, he brought it harder when Canelo started to get tired. But not enough.
                That's very true. However, at the same time Canelo didn't exactly put his combination punches together either. He missed a lot of punches also. He was mostly landing single punches at a time; A far cry from his last performance against GGG. Why did he struggle to land punches on Danny Jacobs is a deep mystery?

                    I thought it was a good fight. Wish Jacobs wouldn't have waited on Canelo as much as he did and been first. Maybe bum fights are more up your alley if you just want to see 2 dudes winging it with no skill
