    meeeh, no thank you. I enjoy watching canelo, but not jacob. I'd rather watch canelo vs another figher.

    Canelo is incredible. Close fight but he won the fight and his a true superstar.

    I had Jacobs 7-5 but cant argue with the nod going to Canelo. lot of close rounds but that commentary was bloody atrocious.

    I had it a draw, but if I'm sympathetic to a victor in either direction I'm sympathetic to Ginger-Snaps.

    And hey, the scorecards weren't insane. Bonus!

    Canelo didn't fade as much this fight. I actually think Danny just fought better later. He put more pressure.

    I think Canelo missed a lot more punches than people think, this wasn’t a sharp fight.

    I probably should've scored this fight but I don't think it was a robbery. Danny is gonna look at the replay
    and kick himself though because he definitely could've had this fight in the bad if he had pressed it earlier

    Dont think anyone thinks Jacobs was robbed. Its not like the first GGG fight where Canelo clearly lost and it was a blatent robbery. I think anywhere between 116-112 Canelo and 115-113 Jacobs is a legit card. Just wasnt an impressive performance from Canelo for me overall. He slowed too much, he didnt throw enough and his foot work was ponderous in the second half

    Then quit drugs, because you can only think that jacob won this if you are drunk or high.

    Personally, I hope Canelo fights Andrade next so we can have a undisputed champion.

    Jacobs can't complain anyone but himself. He lost rounds 11 and 12

    I had Jacobs by 2, but was very close.
