What happens if Jacobs gets robbed?

I'm expecting a fairly close fight, but wide UD for ginger. The judges will have been through Adelaide Byrd scoring training.

 

No. You couldn't be more wrong. He has had many boxing followers passionately hate him ever since the Matthew Hatton fight, and that isn't counting those that hated him for being the "silver spoon" kid who has massive promotion and opportunity that he doesn't deserve and only getting the opportunity because he's a baby faced ginger Mexican even before that fight... And hey, it's understandable. Mark me as one of them. But time went on. And like you and almost every single other soul who follows boxing, he has proven my doubts and detracts to be wrong.

I used to live on the forums back then, you aren't going to convince me of a fake reality. Back then was it the 4:1 number ratio I threw out in my post you quoted? No. But it certainly seems somewhere there now. And just as certain is that Canelo was never "liked" by most boxing fans.

 

Yeah they were the LDBC members mostly. They hate boxers like Canelo for obvious reasons. Yet they are the minority.

 

The same what happened after the ggg robberys. They will try to explain everyone that canelo won on ring generalship and after that they will tell you canelo won clearly and Jacobs is shot

 

Whats new

 

Nothing will happen!

 

So pretty much any close fight if it doesn't go the way you want is a robbery?

 

So you honestly believe Canelo has never had some dodgy cards... Canelo really deserved a draw on one card against Floyd, and he really beat GGG 10 -2 in the first fight?....

 

If Jacobs doesn’t take risks he won’t win, simple. Canelo landing a few flashy counters and combos is worth triple points remember.

 

Every time a fighter gets robbed Don King's jacket gets another star.

 

but this phenomena was observed only after he beat 3g. It only became a said thing the moment the result of 3g-canelo was announced.

noone squeaked about it before that moment... they all said 3g would smas him. I claimed that too admittedly.

 

Canelo has always been favoured on the cards. We knew it going into the first Golovkin fight (based on Trout, Lara, Floyd) and its only been confirmed since then. Jacobs better drill his ass from the get-go, or he's going to win the fight but lose the decision, same as everybody else. Nothing will happen to Canelo if Jacobs gets robbed, because, "boxing, baby".

FWIW I actually think Jacobs might have a better stylistic match against Canelo than GGG. While it's Golovkin's jab that dominated Canelo, Jacobs has two things going for him: he's got a good tank and throws punches in bunches. I don't think that canelo likes getting flurried and I think he may have problems in dealing with a big, hard-hitting mobile opponent for the stretch. On the other hand, Golovkin slipped a lot of Jacobs' stuff, so Canelo may too.

 

If it's a close fight then you can't call it a robbery. How fights are scored is subjective and there will always be some element of disagreement in a close fight.

But if it's close in most people eyes and Canelo wins by a ridiculous landslide on at least 1 or 2 judges scorecards then people of course will conclude the fix was in and Jacobs would of needed to near shut out Canelo just to get a draw. In that scenario people will have reason to complain, not necessarily about the outcome but about the growing idea that Canelo is a protected fighter.

Personally I think it's going to be a close fight. Jacobs is good and stylistically a much tougher fight than Golovkin. Jacobs will likely be busier, may land more but Canelo will land the more telling shots and be the aggressor and whatever the outcome the losing side will claim robbery. Then if it was an entertaining fight we get a rematch with another close fight and claims of robbery.

 

No but when does Canelo not get the 7???

This is the problem close fight always go with the show owner and it is wrong.

 

I think it's already assumed by the majority that if Jacobs doesn't knock him out or drop in at least a couple times in a dominating performance, he has no way of winning on the scorecards.
