    Canelo didnt even throw 500 punches. Jacobs wasnt really trying to win and boxed too carefully. Hey both got a nice paycheck at least, right?

    Very disappointed in both fighters.
    Yup canelo just don’t have a second gear. and the underdog didn’t have the sense of urgency to win either

      Canelo couldnt get his offence going. Jacobs had a great gameplan

        It felt like $19 worth of PPV.

          OP is a GGG fan which explains the topic, sneaky sneaky.

          Anyway, Jacobs looked the much bigger man with a significant reach advantage so Canelo had to fight smart and make sure that his defence was working while still scoring points. That in itself was interesting and a good example of a class boxer who valued the health of his brain long term. He was there to hit and not be hit.

              Last year this would have been a 70 to 80 dollar fight so count your blessings lol.

              It was free for me this year. Same as last.

                I'm sure GGG's next ''fight'' will be more exciting

                Just don't blink

                  It wasn't "BORED" BUT it wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be BUT it was a very entertaining Chess Match

                  Still think they should've stayed on the East Coast at MSG. The Better Boxing Fans are on the East Coast IMO Las Vegas is not the Mecca anymore, the energy from the crowd felt so LOW last night. Or maybe it was just the way DAZN was covering it made the event feel so DRY

                  I must say though, Boxing so called "Big Match Ups" seems to never live up to its expectations honest and never finish in Dramatic Fashion. This is where Heavyweight Boxing can take back over here in the US. When AJ and Wilder fight...it is guaranteed somebody getting knocked out so they need to hurry up and make that happen after June 1st

                    Their styles nullified each other and nobody wanted to fully commit, the fight actually showed why Floyd boxed circles around him, Canelo had trouble landing on Danny and DJs footwork is like molasses compared to Floyds boxing, the same Floyd that beat Canelo back then would beat him now.

                    I expected more from this fight, the entire show was flat and staring at an stationary arena camera for 30 minutes in a PPV event displays a terrible production team for a fight of this level.
