Okay, so Jacobs was ''playing it safe'' against Canelo (one of the best boxers at this current time) not throwing anything hard within the first four rounds.... what do you expect him to do, swing for the hills?! It's quite clear you're anti Canelo, if Canelo wins his opponent was either payed off or Canelo had the ref/judges/Peds on his side (that's what you claim at least).
Why you got so many replies beats me?! You shouldn't have gotten one. I suppose you think the world is flat and under a dome with the sun and the moon there as well?
Not sure to the extent of the corruption other than i know they fix the fights as we saw on Saturday night! They fix the judges as we have seem time after time,, As will as fixing the referee so whats left that is real?? Boxing has gone way downhill and by some of the comments in this threads makes you wonder if people really are that naive or like you think they are trolls are media owned which i know some youtube channels are!! Welcome to propaganda at its finest
LMMFAO, " warriors of the past" like they were superior humans compared to modern humans.. WTF are you even going on about?
Be more specific, you're grouping fighters together as they're one and all the same. Every Fighter, hell every human is different. Every elite fighter from every era always lays everything on the line for the win. That's one of the attributes that makes up their eliteNess..
Right we the people are the suckers! This is a sport it's supposed to be about may the best man win! Instead its become totally about money and politics!
Okay so PED's we know for a fact he was busted for that! Im not anti Canelo and others im pro boxing! Not pro Canelo! Any fighter that gets busted with PED's in my book should be banned for life... Jacobs came for a check not for a victory that was obvious in his actions on the night nothing Canelo offered was extra level or anything! Dullision by Canelo fans and commentators who are paid to hype the man. DAZN put all there balls in one court and there is no way they are gonna allow Canelo to lose to Jacobs thats a fact!
If I hear one more dumb comment comparing a boxing match which is totally human controlled to the shape of the earth lol this is showing y'alls IQ
If I gave you example of every fight that every took place where a guy tried it would take up the whole forum im certain you get the comment as is! Not heard to figure out just watch any other boxing match for example Tony Zale vs Graciano, Ray Mancini vs Chacon, Marciano vs Walcott, Ali vs Fraizer etc.... the list is endless the point is the same they tried to win!!! It was all or nothing for these guys,, Was a matter of pride not just a paycheck!
Actually, it was because what made them live was the gate money: to get butts in the seats, you had to fight, or you simply wouldn't eat, because no one would show up. Today the mafia laundering money and gambling cartels changed all that. And it's not just boxing: it's all the sports. But boxing is safer to fix, as it involves fewer people.
I agree and we didn't see that at all on from Jacobs or Canelo! I am not grouping all fighters together in fact im doing the opposite....
People don't know, but during the Walcott - Charles fights, the ref would verbally threaten Walcott at close range to DQ him if he didn't stop feinting and instead engage more. And Walcott did take him seriously: that wasn't empty threats.
Right exactly fighters in other era's didnt have all the access to government programs,, they had to fight to eat to survive,, The talent pool was loads deeper with way more active fighters and thats a fact that the modern boxing fan is so quick to completely overlook.. Boxing is in a sad state really hope it can survive! Such a great sport being ruined by corruption!
Huh?! I was trying to make a point about human stupidity and you just proved it! Hilarious you cannot understand a simple concept!
