Canelo-Jacobs / May 4th Las Vegas / WHO WINS (poll)
Great matchup!
Going off recent fights Canelo's in his absolute pomp now and was seriously impressive against Golovkin whereas Jacobs was a little flattered in that fight. I don't think Jacobs has the toes or stamina to prevent himself from being meticulously broken down.
Canelo KO.

A different test for Canelo which will give us more information to assess how good he really is at the highest level as a middleweight.
Jacobs will move more and has enough power to get Saul's respect. Canelo has slow feet so will have to draw Jacobs in.
I think it will go to points and a robbery will occur.

Gotta say as much as I want Jacobs to win I am inclined to agree with Fenners.
Canelo via KO.
Re: Canelo-Jacobs / May 4th Las Vegas / WHO WINS (poll)
You've gotta have Canelo as a favourite but i can see this being an out and out war.
I think Jacobs might just bum rush him from the start and go for an early KO.
Top fight

I see it 9-3 Jacobs and a UD for Canelo. Boxing sucks.

sorry if I'm being dim , but can somebody clarify the poll before I vote on it. I get beef lover and draw , but what's the difference between "Jug Holes" and "Fish Nets and Silverspoon" ??

WTF! I thought you was British? Well Italian/British?
Jug holes = ears
And everyone knows Oscar is Fishnets and Eddie is Silverpoon (the promoters).

So jug holes is Jacobs? Why would ODLH & Eddie be in the vote?
Re: Canelo-Jacobs / May 4th Las Vegas / WHO WINS (poll)
I think Jacobs will win. Canelo has proven to be a good fighter, but I think stylistically Jacobs has too much movement for him. I think it will be around 8-4 or 7-5 for Jacobs with Canelo getting the decision. It will be another one of those fights where it’s possible to score the fight for Canelo but Jacobs won the fight on a majority of scorecards but the only judges who matter will give it to Canelo.
If Canelo KO’s Jacobs, that will be far and away his best win. Canelo won’t have the size advantage for once and will actually be fighting a solid opponent. Jacobs has also shown to have a decent chin. It’s not great by any means, but he doesn’t just fall over when he gets hit.
I think we are in for another bad decision unfortunately. But kudos to Canelo for taking this fight instead of GGG again. Now GGG needs to fight Charlo.
Re: Canelo-Jacobs / May 4th Las Vegas / WHO WINS (poll)
I don't think Alvarez will stop him. He'll do well to outpoint him and could lose but like others I think he'll get the decision. If Jacobs can fight at the level he was at against Golovkin he could outpoint the ginger.
Re: Canelo-Jacobs / May 4th Las Vegas / WHO WINS (poll)
If Jacobs decides to outbox Ginger, he'll win every round and then lose the judges' decision, like someone said earlier.
If he goes for the knockout, Ginger's chin will hold out better than Jacobs' and the unthinkable will happen. Ginger will knock him out and become Emperor of Boxing for Life.

Another good thing about this fight is it forces GGG to look elsewhere. Get over the two robberies, Gennady. There's other fish in the middleweight seas.

True, but he'll get sh-t for Brant or Andrade. Smith at 168?
I would love to see him face Derevyanchenko, but along with Saunders it's high risk, low reward.

How about Charlo? That seems the name that would get him the most $$$ of the three (vs Brant or Andrade). I don't know about him moving to 168. He's been cemented at middleweight for like forever... and at this age it seems unlikely he'd make a move up and be successful. Most elite 168-pounders I believe wreck him. Agree on Dere and Saunders being hi-risk, lo-reward. I'd go for Charlo if I was him.
