    Even with that dubious KD, a lot of people(myself not included), and plenty of media had Jacobs winning so it's pretty disingenuous of some of you clowns to try and pretend like GGG's victory over Jacobs was monumental in comparison.

    Yeah very "Dubious" , Jacobs was scrabbling to drag GGG down by clinging like a girl to GGG's legs, playing for much needed time...
    Both these guys looked like they had been through a war after their fights with GGG god of War...Canelo will stretch past september & won't be fighting GGG ,instead they will try Andrade or drain out callum...

    It's weird cause Sky Sports are very good at Presentation and you would think Hearns would help out DAZN in that regard but nope, it felt like I was watching one of those illegal streams where the audio was muted at times.

    Canelo has fought and beaten 3 "CHAMPS" and two of the best at middleweight in less than a year, what has GGG done????

    "Canelo is a special special talent and how he systematically dissected Jacobs in the first 6 rounds was master class. He was fighting a guy who had a functional weight advantage over him, Canelo was essentially fighting a Cruiserweight in there and he put on an absolute clinic."
    Absolute flowery TRIPE...if canelo was fighting a Cruiserweight what was GGG fighting ?
    canelo won the fight , ,Jacobs (to me) looked slow & a bit pondering letting his shots go, the Jacobs that fought GGG would have won....it was a boring fight!
    The only excitement was how long Weeks took to explain the low blow belts rule....

    Yeah Ed Robinson is the chap who 'produces' the Sky cards and they are head and shoulders above nearly everything else (WBSS, DAZN, BT).

    You GGGirls are too emotional, no wonder you can't score fights.

    Canelo on PED's and likely well above 175 for GGG, he refuses to step on the scale the night of the fight!

    Then off PED's he shrinks and makes sure if Jacobs is over 170 pounds, he owes him a lot of money and must drain the weight to get to 160.

    Sound fair?

    I’ve had DAZN for months now I really like it especially showing the full undercards and they have had some great fights even ones that looked weak on paper but delivered in the ring

    The presentation I don’t really care about I get excited for the fight it self

    Commentary is ok. Not great not terrible I think it’s serviceable. I do like that they generally aren’t cheerleaders like the HBO crew and the ESPN crew

    My only real problems with DAZN are technical when I stream to my tv I have audio issues but this could be my internet and not DAZN. I also don’t get into their build up videos their version of 24/7 or All Access just didn’t do it for me

    Also nearly an hour between chief undercard fight and main event (someone timed it at 52 minutes to start them into the ring after the previous fighters exited). Lotta dead air. Why? There’s no reason on a streaming service to have it start later than necessary and make all the paying customers wait — 15 minutes, maybe 20, sure ... but an hour?

    I went to bed after round 5, had it 4-1 Canelo

    I could see the fight wasnt really gonna ignite the way the GGG vs Canelo fights did, the styles didnt gel as well. Or maybe Jacobs just isnt very entertaining to watch.
