    Jacobs has the skills and power to outbox Canelo.

    But I’ll go with Canelo by corruption.

    Whole event is bound to be another Golden Boy swindle.

    I'm sorry but DJ just has not looked very good in his last couple fights. Like GGG, he is being served up for Canelo at exactly the right time, when his career is winding down and he doesn't have that much left. They just keep milking the Canelo Cash Cow.

    Canelo is a protected Golden Boy cash cow.

    Every advantage is always rigged in his favour.

    They’ll swindle Jacobs if they have to, just like they did Golovkin.

    Easy fight for Canelo, I've never seen anything special in Jacobs. I believe Canelo grinds him down to a TKO, haters gonna cry either way.

    It’s not hatred and it’s not BS.

    How many times have we seen the big promoter’s favourite cash cow get a decision that he didn’t really deserve? It happens all the time and it always has.

    Boxing is unbelievably corrupt and Golden Boy will continue to milk Canelo for every dollar that they can for as long as they can. They don’t care about the fans or the careers of the fighters they rob. It’s all about maximising the return on their investment.

    I feel Jacobs biggest vulnerability is speed, and Canelo does have fast hands

    Jacobs should watch Hearns vs. Duran. Start with the jab and set the punches up simply. Jab jab jab make him think jab and all the other punches come through. This will not be a Fielding kind of fight.

    Canelo by stoppage before the 2 GGG fights I would have picked it to be a 50/50 fight with whoever landing big first taking it, but with the questions about Canelo's chin being answered coupled with his skill level all I can see is Jacobs hitting the deck mid/late rounds Canelo is too fast and too skilled

    Hahhaa... You're so dramatic bro. Who has been robbed against Canelo.?

    Just because you had a different score from the judges it doesn't make it a robbery, you know that right?

    People will always ***** amd moan about decisions in close fights.

    Look at Jermell Charlo a couple weeks back, had he performed like his opponent and had he gotten the decision like his opponent did people would be crying corruption, but because the house fighter didn't get it we just brush it off.

    I don't know how long you've followed boxing, but I have followed it long enough to understand boxing is very subjective, and if a fighter gets the decision in a close fight it is what it is... A fighter's main objective should be creating a large enough so that there is very little room for doubt.

    Golovkin already tried that and failed. Jacobs needs to use his feet and try to out box Canelo from the outside.

    Very interesting fight and clash of styles.
