Not a bad card at all! Solid match ups for sure.

Canelo vs Jacobs Undercard details

According to boxrec
http://boxrec.com/en/event/781894

David Lemieux vs John Ryder
Lamont Roach vs Jonathan Oquendo
Pablo Cesar Cano vs Michael Perez
Vergil Ortiz Jr vs Mauricio Herrera
Sadam Ali vs Anthony Young

Jojo Diaz vs TBA
Alexis Espino vs TBA (Robert Garcia confirmed he's on the undercard as well)

David Lemieux fight could end up being for a 168 strap if Canelo vacates his before the fight. Or WBA could make it a Interim world championship belt.

Would rather see Ortiz vs Cano, but Ryder-Lemieux is a good matchup.

Lamont Roach vs Jonathan Oquendo probably a title eliminator with winner becoming mandatory for Masayuki Ito's belt.

Meh, would have preferred Ortiz vs Cano instead. But getting to watch Ortiz do his thing is always nice.

Par for course undercard for this type of card. Wish they also would have found a way to mix in Tanajara Jr.

Yeah that would be a great fight for Vergil Ortiz to put his name on the map. But Cano beating Jorge Linares was for the WBC title eliminator. He won so he is now waiting his time no way he would take on a beast like Ortiz when he has a guaranteed title shot coming.

I like Ryder and watched him beat Sirotkin live. Lemieux can KO him but Ryder put a better showing in against BJS than Lemieux.

They tried to make Tevin Farmer vs Jojo Diaz but looks like he turned that down.

@JosephDiazJr goes in on, Tevin Farmer. Questions, Farmer’s business IQ for turning down a co-main slot on Canelo-Jacobs card! https://t.co/sc5tDhFByK pic.twitter.com/rx5txgN2ZR

I don't take that serious to be honest. Farmer probably fights mandatory fight next and then Davis. And how many weeks would he have had for this fight? Now, Farmer is being a hypocrite for what he used to do to other title holders when he was in Jo Jo's shoes, but I never thought this fight was going to happen.
