    Absolute destruction and domination of a top 3 middleweight tonight, who came in the ring at 190+ pounds once again but still got his ass waxed. He had jacobs out there looking desperate, throwing arm punches, switching to southpaw, he was perplexed. Canelo showed prime tyson levels of head movement, jacobs was punching air all night.

    This version of canelo floyd wants NO parts of believe me. Canelo is starting to peak, he is close to his final form.

    Canelo has made a fan of me in his last couple of fights. Lost both Golovkin fights IMO, but he is one hell of a fighter. Some chin on the lad as well, Jheez.

    I picked Jacobs to win and like both fighters, but Canelo deserved the win exactly as the cards had it. Canelo’s chin is unreal and kept him from falling apart.

    I don't think he improved much, looking pretty much Canelo for me.. :D Definitely lost at least one of the fights with Golovkin. He will be always a shitty persona no matter how good he is.

    He'll lose again whenever someone attacks that body early. His fading will be worse.

    It is the reach advantage mainly. It's so annoying to fight vs someone with such reach advantage, there's nothing actually that can be done.

    ANdrade is overrated, Golovkin sparks him out, So does Canelo.

    Am I the only one who would rather see GGG and Canelo fight other people in the top 5 rather than another rematch?

    Jacobs 1,3,7,8,9,10

    12 was hard to call, but gave islight edge to Jacobs on sheer work rate.

    Brian Kenny should be sanctioned for tonight. He was uncomfortable to listen to and was completely biased

    Jacobs lost the fight in the first 6 rounds. He really struggled with Canelo's head movement and his jab was non existent.

    They weren't giving Jacobs credit they were just taking credit away from Canelo.

    Just pisses me off how Canelo is getting all that success in his career after robbing another man of his legacy and suffering no consequences for failed drug tests

    There was this ban,.. but it was convinently timed with his Knee injury which normally takes 5-7 months to recover from

    It was close....Great fight and no big mistake made from either guy
    115/113 Canelo but a draw was not out of the cards
