Make it 6, because you have zero chance of edging the close ones. His career is littered with some of the strangest scoring ever seen in boxing. Chance? Human error? Correct judging or something more sinister, you decide.

Adalaide Byrd back in contention? Surely everyone deserves a second chance? Don't they?

Is Saul a drug cheat or was it really dodgy meat? What about those needle marks, acupuncturist got a bit overzealous, what do you think? Have to be careful what with all those Middle Eastern type punishments regularly handed out for PED failures in this life and death sport.

NSAC, good guys working in a challenging geographical location? Or just another Sin City front? Perhaps it's time to take peek at just how these big money Vegas fights are 'financed', if that's the right word.

Oscar and Mauricio, just two lovable rogues trying to make a clean living? I think a little chat with uncle Bob, after a small drink maybe could help answer some of these questions.

Until that great whistleblowing day arrives we just have to hope for a knockout. Unfortunately Danny doesn't seem to have the same power since his bout with the big C.

Oh well, maybe we can hope that Saul will get robbed by the judges this time, the law of averages and all that. And then the end of tribal conflict as world peace follows as obscene disparities in wealth become a thing of the past due to multinationals suddenly increasing the sharing of their profits amongst all their beleaguered employees

Hmm, is it really time for some more Serotonin pills. Silly me.

ironbeard wrote: ↑30 Apr 2019, 00:49 All anyone has to do to see how dire this year has been as well as how it looks going forward is to look at the fights so far this year, as well as the schedule going forward. For that matter, look at the thread subjects on here.

We are headed into May. How many memorable fights at elite level have we seen? It has been the year of the mismatch so far, generally.

Gingerhead deserves credit for taking a real challenge, no matter the advantages he enjoys. This is not Spence v Mikey or Bud v Bambi On Ice. This is a real, legit challenge.

Jacobs realizes that this is probably his last chance at full on top of the heap status. He knows he cannot win a decision. I think that he is coming for a shootout, along the lines of the Peter Quillin flash bang.

I doubt that this goes past 7. Jacobs goes out on his shield unless he can hurt Gingerhead early, and grind him into dust. Nothing recently suggests that Danny has that in him.

SenorPipino wrote: ↑30 Apr 2019, 10:20 Don't know why Canelo can't stop him.

Has Jacobs ever displayed an iron jaw?He's been down, knocked out. Even decked by featherfisted Mora.

So Canelo can't turn the trick? Rubbish.

Canelo is far more aggressive than he once was. The guy is now total confidence 24/7.

He takes it to his opponents now, whereas earlier he was only cautiously aggressive.

Ask Golovkin. Ask Fielding. Canelo is on a mission.

He will overwhelm Jacobs, punish him and knock him out.

How Canelo once fought is irrelevant to his style today. What Golovkin did or could not do with Jacobs is also irrelevant.

Canelo made it very clear over 24 rounds that he's a far more adaptable boxer than Golovkin. He's multi-talented. Not one dimensional.

What Golovkin can't do, Canelo can.

Jacobs will learn that Saturday. It should be a beat down.

danny just to me seems a cautious mentality fighter, he even fought that way vs guys like caleb truax and luis arias. and of course ggg

ironbeard wrote: ↑30 Apr 2019, 13:15 You are correct, upon reviewing the fight, DJ did not unload until he caught Quillin with the flush right hand that buckled his knees. It was obvious from the opening bell that he was cocked and ready to land that shot. He saw an opening on tape, imo.

Your description of DJ as a “cautious mentality fighter,” I call an excellent professional boxer, with a very high KO %. What he managed after being floored by 3G was tremendous, albeit in defeat.

DJ has the tools to out box Gingerhead, but that will not get him the W. He has to hurt him and grind him down. That puts him in the position of getting caught and stopped, or just dropped and losing big on the cards.

I will be rooting for DJ, but his path to victory here is extremely narrow and perilous.

SenorPipino wrote: ↑29 Apr 2019, 19:12 Me too.

Jacobs is a good fighter, but hardly elite.

His "miracle man" backstory has helped elevate his reputation above his actual skills.

If the featherfisted Latin Snake can dump Jacobs, it's frightening to think what effect Canelo's shots will have on him.

No. It ain't going to the cards.

SenorPipino wrote: ↑01 May 2019, 12:03 So what? Golovkin's vaunted power mysteriously disappears when he's forced to face a higher level of talent.

All that "monster power" turns to myth.

Canelo is a much more multi-dimensional fighter than Golovkin. He'll show Jacobs looks that he never had to worry about with Golovkin.

After a few rounds, Jacobs pretty much knew what to expect from Golovkin. Been there, done that.

He won't ever be certain what to expect from the constantly adapting Canelo.

And that's when Jacobs will be most vulnerable to a knockout.

Knockout aren't necessarily the private domain of the harder hitter. It's the fighter with the bigger tool box who finds the greatest success.
