    Officially happening on May 4th; unifying the middleweight championships of the IBF (1st defense of Jacobs) with the WBC & WBA (1st defense of each by Álvarez). Venue & undercard details TBA.

    It'll be a close fight that goes to Canelo IMO.

    Any word on the venue? I'm guess Vegas right? There is no way Canelo would fight Jacobs at Barclays.

    Well that goes without saying lol. Jacobs is going to need a KO to win the fight.

    It’s the same with GGG. Jacobs will have to knock Roidnelo down at least twice to have any hope of getting a decision. The judges have already filled out their scorecards.

    Nobody at middle is going to stop Canelo.

    Jacobs could not hurt Golovkin nor he will be able to hurt Canelo. Moreover Jacobs will not have all those little things he had against GGG.
    I highly doubt even a robbery. Canelo will win this.
    Frankly disappointing fight with nothing to watch.

    Alvarez by close (possibly controversial) decision, with one judge having it wide.

    My thoughts really, I think Jacobs has the tools to win this in a fair fight, but think it will be edged to Alvarez.
