Comments Thread For: Hearn: Consensus Is the Right Man Won Canelo-Jacobs Fight

[Boxfan83]

I rooted for Danny but Canelo won this fight. You could argue a draw but Danny really needed to win one of the early rounds and the final round as well. A rematch would be interesting

A draw is not arguable, it wouldve been laughable.

A rematch would be interesting

I think the fight was too uninspiring for there to be any widespread interest or desire for a rematch from any camp, including DAZN.

So now Jacobs own promoter and own trainer on record saying Jacobs DIDN'T win the fight

Love the clowns blaming judges as usual. Canelo beat Jacobs move on.

[bigdunny1]

Canelo made jacobs miss and had Jacobs resorting to arm punching just to get punches off. The occasional "BIG" punch jacobs landed wasnt his normal punch. + jacobs fouled a lot, re-watch the fight & jacobs went low everytime with a shoeshine.

Jacobs got outclassed and never took the fight to Canelo. He came in with a big size and weight advantage and couldn't put it to good use.
.

I think 2 things happened in the fight, firstly Jacobs spent the first half of the fight trying to figure out how to get past Canelo's defence, then the second half trying to get past it and failing.

Secondly, Canelo also struggled getting past Jacobs length and footwork to get to Jacobs also. So it ended up as a fight where both of their defensive skills got deserved praise, but of the two, Canelo's defence was more successful, and he got to Jacobs marginally more than Jacobs got to him.

The difficulty in scoring the fight was that the pattern of Canelo having marginally more success was consistent throughout the fight, so a Byrd like score of 10-2 would actually have been justified even though Canelo's edge over Jacobs was marginal (as each round scored separately). 115-113 feels fairer, but it required giving Jacobs a couple if tounds he didn't earn.

Unless it makes financial sense for Hearn, he should wait on making Canelo-Andrade, because Canelo will undoubtedly beat Andrade and Hearn will be minus two MW champions. Not a good story for Matchroom...unless, again, money outweights all other considerations.

How? Sky and boxingscene had it a draw. Spence andrade marquez all had jacobs winning. I thought jacobs edged it, he looked comfortable all fight, can someone tell me what problems canelo caused jacobs offensively? I cant think of many.

What tangible thing did Jacobs do that won him the fight? Did he land more? Did he land better shots? Was he more efficient (which shouldn't matter all that much)? Did he have better defense?

Simply "looking comfortable" shouldn't win the fight. I would say the problem Canelo caused him offensively was that he prevented Jacobs from landing as much as he himself did (in both quality and quantity).

I'd listen to an argument for Jacobs winning if there is some sort of relevant aspect in which he was better at on a round by round basis. I just don't see one.

Had it 117-111 for Canelo. Jacobs is a joke and he's run the cancer story to the ground. Dude, fight IN the ring....nobody's that interested in your battle outside the ring. Really.

Point is, a lot of these guys just want a payday but can't even handle the exposure and requirements of the fights of they're begging for. Yes, you're gonna do a THOUSAND interviews, Yes, the cards will be stacked against you. C'mon now.

He complained about the judges, but started waaaay too late to be "so" concerned about the cards. He's made the 170 lb limit before for the IBF but couldn't do it for the biggest fight of his life?! C'mon, man.

He comes into the fight with the size advantage, but ends up moving the whole time and missing wildly. He got close to Canelo and smothered his own work, but wanted credit for it. Nah, bro.

He then went on to say he "feels he did enough to pull it off". FOH, dude! No. You. Did. Not! This dude's a joke and I don't wanna see him or his "Brownsville, stand up!" lookin' ass anywhere else crying about a big fight.

So glad I didn't pay for this garbage.

Respect him for his win over Cancer, But all this talk about he gonna get it, and Brownsville stand up ? Please you let them down bro. You lost your 3 biggest in ring fights. One because you faulty chin and two other becuase you were afraid to let your hands go. Plus you have cheated 2xs now on weight clauses because you wanted to be bigger. Its clear you are a 168 pounder , but you keep weight bullying people.

[bigdunny1]

I disagree with Jacobs own promoter and trainer Jacobs was rocking Canelo all night with these punches.

I gave Jacobs rounds 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12

Jacobs just couldn't miss.
