fight is a draw 115:115

no shame on a draw, was a good fight and this what happens when the 2 best in 1 division face each other, it's a close fight. like when floyd faced castillo at lightweight, when pacquiao fought marquez at super featherweight or when mosley fought oscar at welterweight, when the 2 top boxer fight mostly it is close. we need a rematch. danny is to tall, to athletic, to big for canelo. ggg is just to big of a puncher for canelo. he gets badly hurt against both. besides lara, who can pose problems against anybody with his athletiscm and elite footwork no 154 boxer poses problems to the 2 best at middleweight. charlo better be careful or train like a man possessed cause danny and ggg are top middleweights.

You already told us that Danny won

Danny won the fight but they wanted to preserve GGG vs Canelo

I just rewatched the fight too - our scorecards are very similar.

Round 1 - Jacobs, close
Round 2 - even
Round 3 - GGG, close
Round 4 - GGG with KD (not a damaging KD, but a legitimate one, plus real judges have to go with the ref's call)
Round 5 - GGG, very clear
Round 6 - Jacobs, very clear
Round 7 - Jacobs, close but clear
Round 8 - GGG, close
Round 9 - GGG, close but clear
Round 10 - Jacobs, very clear
Round 11 - Jacobs, close but clear
Round 12 - GGG, close but clear

115:113 to GGG

Considering the number of close rounds, either man could have been given the decision and it wouldn't have been a robbery, but my general feeling is that the right man got the nod.

Addressing a couple of the points you made:

- I disagree GGG is too big a puncher for Canelo - most would agree Canelo has a good chin and until last weekend, a better chin than Jacobs, who was able to take GGG's power. While Canelo is short, he's no lighter than GGG and if he fights at 160lb, he'll probably be a similar weight to Jacobs in the ring.
- I agree both GGG and Jacobs beat Canelo, but I think they do it on points (though I hope I'm wrong!)
- I agree a rematch is needed, but if GGG and his team are smart, they'll go after Saunders and Canelo first.

canelo has a good chin for 154 standards

jacobs has a good chin for 160 standards

i doubt canelo will have as good as a chin as jacobs at 160. saunders fight make not much sense, since saunders is boring and c class, but 4 title, well than it makes sense

Exactly, it's all about the title and GGG cares a lot about titles - he wants to unify all the belts. I think there's a good chance Canelo has at least as good a chin as Jacobs, but he will certainly make a very short middleweight.

fight is a draw 115:115.

So if you scored the knockdown that the ref said was a knockdown and was a knockdown and was clearly the result of taking two right hands to the face, which knocked him down, then you score it to GGG by a point?

Glad we've got it settled

I scored it to Jacobs
