    I would say almost none. Canelo knows if he plays it safe, gets into some exchanges here and there, so he doesn't put the crowd to sleep, the decision is his. Given this, why would he try to stop Jacobs?

    And unfortunately, I can't see Jacobs doing enough to stop Canelo.

    It will be a big payday for both so l can't see any boat-rocking here.

    80% probability Canelo wins this by decision.

    Interesting. Someone really thinks Canelo is going to be stopped by Jacobs?! I'd like to know what the odds are of that. Has to be very low.

    cant see Canelo being stopped even though Jacobs has advantage of being an established long term MW.

    Not sure Canelo has the power to stop a world class MW yet, you might point to fielding but he was kinda lower level world smw, almost fringe.

    My heart is saying Jacobs but I think (and have voted) ginger stops him late on.

    I think Jacobs is a little vulnerable and perhaps also a little dead at the weight now

    Canelo will stop Jacobs. Not sure when, but... it'll be whenever Canelo hits the perfect counter upstairs, never know, it might even be after he gets rocked by Danny, and Danny gets a little too carried away. I don't think Canelo packs Triple G like power, but he's faster, sharper, sudden and his shots come from angles that Danny may not be adequately prepared to defend against. It's the shot you don't see coming that gets you.

    I give jacobs the edge in stopping ginger late . Danny carries his power late into the rounds and that's when ginger is most tired and less active . Power+speed + exhausted Canelo = stoppage. Also tglse looping Danny throws . Canelo won't see were they come from late . Edge in stopping I give to Danny . Canelo does not have the length pirog nor the jab GGG does. Also body shots ??? You can't hit what's not there . No doubt I yhonk Jacobs will win

    ^ I agree that if Jacobs can chug along like he did vs GGG, he has the edge late. But he can't give Canelo rest-breaks. Also, I want to see some body work by Jacobs. I think DJ's punches to the body are underrated.

    If Jacobs doesn't feel comfortable because of the dehydration, Canelo can/should stop him.

    canelo can either due to breaking him to the body or with a hard counter upstairs

    he hit Golovkin on the button a few times with shots that I think lay down most fighters

    Canelo's a bit of a defensive machine. Jacobs is the one who gets knocked if one of them do. Canelo can pop and Jacobs doesn't have iron in the bone.
