Of course he won it. He has all that power, money and influence behind him and his team is a master at cherry picking and still making him look like a fearless dare devil. He was a 4 to 1 betting favorite over Jacobs and almost 5 to 1 favorite over Kovalev.

Well deserved. In '18 he beat the boogeyman of boxing at his own game and claimed a title at 168, and he carried that momentum into '19 with a masterclass in a unification with Jacobs and a ko over Kovalev in his 4th division. With that win he became the first former jr middleweight champ in 25 years to go on to claim a title at light heavyweight and only the 4th in history to do so-- all while holding belts in three divisions simultaneously.Comment
