Anyone Else Picking Jacobs?

[keithmoonhangover]

I see him boxing his way to a clear decision. Anyone?

[jamamb]

i think he boxed the fight of his life vs ggg. he hasnt looked that impressive since. i thought he only won his last fight by 1 point

canelo should win fairly

[leejonesjnr]

Nah.
I am expecting a looooong 12 rounds with Jacobs on the move to the point of almost running, a close Alvarez points win and the usual shouts of 'robbery robbery'.

[Delta Jay]

He can’t stop him and can’t beat the judges. I just don’t see how he does it, and can possibly see Canelo stopping him late if he slows or tires from all the moving he’ll be doing.

I do think Canelo will struggle with his fast feet and long arms, but once he’s in there he could land some big ones.

Jacobs is an excellent boxer, but Canelo has more of class, plus the judges will help him again without any doubt.

To win objectively Jacobs needs to stay away for the whole distance, use his height and reach, jab all the sh*t out of Canelo and pick power punches. Like Golovkin did at his 2nd Canelo fight. But did Golovkin win? Objectively yes by many opinions (the majority of them probably, including my one), yet the judges thought otherwise.

So the most possible way for Jacobs to win Canelo is to KO him. Actually the suggested above by me style of boxing will help Jacobs, I believe. But, on the other hand, Canelo's chin is extremely good, that was well proved, as he took Golovkin's clean punches without being hurt much. That's why Jacobs needs to pick power punches more often and in combos, which means taking more risks, cause in the engaging Canelo is more likely to be successful, he's better in defence, more technical, his punches are faster and shorter, he has enough power to hurt Jacobs badly.

Jacobs nearly had the beating of GGG but that don't mean nothing in this fight. Canelo has a very good defence and is very effective with counters. Jacobs found GGG easy to hit because he is, Canelo isn't. jacobs best chance in this fight is to keep it long with lots of movement as Canelo ain't got the quickest feet but I can't see the judges giving him the nod if they see him on the Backfoot all night. If he try's to stand in front of Canelo I think he will get stopped.

That's what I'm telling. Canelo won't be easy to hit and he can return it. Jacobs needs jabbing, moving, good timing.

Yeah sorry mate I should of quoted what you said as I see it the same way you do

[Nondescript]

I have a feeling that Canelo might knock him out.

[Loftgroov]

You can't beat Canelo on points; that's "taken care of" each fight.

You'd have to knock him out, and I can't see Jacobs doing that.

[kbackup408]

You will have to nail Canelo on the floor for 15 seconds to win this fight - the judges have already filled their cards 10-9's all over the gaf

[Nightmare Roy]

He’d absolutely have to school Canelo to get the nod and Canelo is to good for that, not to mention he’s got a chin made of concrete, also as much as I’m no fan of him Canelo can bloody fight, he might actually stop Jacobs, I’d love Jacobs to win but I can’t see it happening. Probably Canelo UD with some stupid cards.

Exactly what I was going to say.
GGG will remain Jacobs best performance. Ever since that fight he has looked vulnerable, even more so in his last outing. Why else would Canelos handlers have made this fight?

[oogiebe]

Not picking Jacobs but praying real hard he has another miracle in him!

[Terminator666]

He’s got no chance of winning but I won’t be surprised if he goes the distance
