Round-by-Round: Canelo Alvarez vs. Daniel Jacobs - May 4, 2019

[lazboy]

Canelo should just edge it. Too late a start for Jacobs in my opinion but a very interesting fight and I’d like to see it again.

Last one for DJ, 114:114 at my card.

[Cent0089]

8-4 or 7-5 for Alvarez to me. His defense and jab was brilliant. Danny is a beast, Canelo showed his best to handle him

[diddy]

Jacobs can only pray for 2 114-114 cards. Not a chance he wins the decision.

[ironbeard]

Rd 12 = very close

10-9 Alvarez

114-114

I honestly think this was way closer than most of you.

[boxing_rocks]

Danny didn't win 9 rounds, so he is not getting a decision.

Canelo Alvarez

[lazboy]

Massive respect for Danny after that performance. The three middleweights kings, Canelo, ggg and Jacobs.

[jamamb]

7-5 was right , close but clear canely

[diddy]

I dont have a problem with the cards.

[pizzakid13]

Canelo too accurate.

[Finkel]

Japanese commentary gave it to Canelo
Had it a draw, myself
But the outcome is hardly surprising

[Enlightened-One]

A comfortable victory for Canelo in an entertaining and competitive bout.

He did a far better job against Jacobs than Golovkin did.

I can’t envisage any 160lb-er beating tonight’s version of Canelo.

[hoagylt]

Scored correctly, for a change. I rooted for Jacobs but has 116-112 Canelo.

[ironbeard]

I am ok with the cards. I think that It could go either way. But you have to do more to get the win from Alvarez.

Jacobs landed a hellacious shot in the 9th that would have dropped nearly anyone but Alvarez and 3G.

[HomicideHenry]

I want to see the damned CompuBox punch totals... In this day and age jabs are absolutely meaningless anymore... Jacobs had to of landed more punches overall.

[Cent0089]

Massive respect for Danny after that performance. The three middleweights kings, Canelo, ggg and Jacobs.

This one. 3 x elite. Canelo definitely needed this. Unanimous victory against world elite with no controversy. + it was entertaining fight. I would like to see Jacobs dismantling Charlo, Andrade or Saunders

[Ruthless-RKO]

Hopefully no one shouts controversy.

Canelo much more accurate as well.

First 6 rounds had to be his. Until he stopped jabbing.

Wasn’t better than any of the GGG fights.

[armageto]

Had it a draw. When Jacobs let his hands go, he did well. Boring fight, no problem with the cards, just find it odd that not one judge had a close fight to Jacobs or at least a draw.

[Ruthless-RKO]

JM Marquez has Jacobs winning by 1 round.

[Fightnight Scores]

Fair scores there. A decent enough fight, Jacobs kept it competitive.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Yeh. Wasn’t a really competitive fight. There was a few spots where they didn’t throw much.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Canelo’s translator shows more aggression than Canelo.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Gotta love Slim

Anyone that didn’t think this fight was close should lose their login access because they just don’t know the sport.

Don’t let the scorecards fool you. We all know that Canelo just has to finish on his feet in Vegas with Moretti and the other 2 crooks scoring every one of his fights. Just like they did with Floyd. Any other arena and honest judges, Jacobs does no worse than a draw.

I’m not even a Jacobs fan. Canelo did nothing the whole fight. Oh great head movement, let’s givr him the fight for that. Oh he came forward vs GGG but got outpunched but let’s give him the fight. Go f yourselves.
