    Pretty damn close. Ive got it about 55 to 45 in favor if Jacobs.

    I just think Jacobs size is going to be the difference maker here.

    Off the top of my head (I could be forgetting one) this is probably my favorite matchup of the year and will most likely remain so throughout 2019.

    Its an awesome fight.

    GGG nuthuggers are the worst of the fans. You wont see a more duplicitous bunch of people.

    Do you think Jacobs will knock him out? If he doesn’t there is no way he will get the decision

    I think it’s a competitive matchup, closer to 55-45 in favor of Canelo, who I think will win a (legit) decision.

    Agree as Danny clearly came up short with GGG.
    The D Jacobs fight was good but nowhere near as close as the Canelo vs GGG fights

    Thats definitely a good point.

    My assessment isnt taking into account corruption.

    It wouldn't surprise me if Canelo gets another controversial draw or SD here, as I dont think Jacobs can stop him and I think many rounds will be competitive.

    That's fine. I've watched the fight multiple times and I realize how close the fight was. It was also close on a round by round basis, so I can see how someone would score it for Golovkin or Jacobs.

    When it comes to GGG, some people are way to sensitive.

    Hopefully Golovkin gives him the rematch someday soon.

    it will be 50/50 next time too... which side of Canelos face will be smashed, left or right.

    The KD tilted the cards no doubt.
    His reach should bother Big Red for a few rounds but if he gets inside Canelo will uppercut the heck out of Danny

    Canelo has some of the best inside uppercuts in the business

    Agreed, I don't see this as close as a lot do. I think Alvarez is near enough at peak now, and Jacobs while being a great athlete and nice guy, isn't at that level.

    So? We all watched the fight, what makes a fellow boxer better able to judge who won a fight than fans? What could they say to me that I couldn`t see? I`m not talking about a pundit saying how a fighter should fight to win, they would know more than the average punter, but scoring a fight is simple.
