He looked terrible at the weigh in, hope he sparks the little ginger cheating prick

Canelo vs Jacobs: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs pulled apart as tempers boil over in Vegas

Watch Canelo vs Jacobs from 12.30am in early hours of Sunday morning live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Action

Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs had to be pulled apart during their weigh-in for their middleweight unification clash.

'Canelo' will put his WBA 'Super' and WBC belts on the line against IBF champion Jacobs at the T-Mobile Arena in the early hours of Sunday morning, live on Sky Sports.

Jacobs (35-2 29 KOs) was bang on the middleweight limit at 160lbs, while Mexican superstar Canelo tipped the scales at 159.5lbs.



After the pair weighed-in tempers boiled over during the face to face when both fighters pushed their foreheads together.

Canelo shoved Jacobs and the pair had to be pulled apart while they angrily shouted at each other.

"Emotions are flying high. I ain't never backed down a challenge in my life," said Jacobs, who was flanked by his son.

"Everything that I do is for my family. Everything I do is for Brooklyn and for the culture.

However, Canelo countered: "That was fear right there, what he did."

I've arrived at a place I'd rather not be and that is thinking that not only does Canelo take the W but he may very well knock Jacobs out. The weight's one thing but also Jacobs simply doesn't have as many tools and is getting out of his skin with the pre fight back and forth. He'll keep it calm cool and collected to start but can't help but see him running into more counters especially if he goes full throttle attack mode. Jacobs can be tightly wrapped and susceptible to that faster inside work and shots he doesn't see coming. Top notch match up and comes down to heart v mind a bit for me. Love nothing better than for Danny to leave him in a heap.

Jacobs came in at 173 this morning. They were contracted to only be able to weight 170. He is getting fined 250k per pound. That’s a lot of money. I’m sure it was calculated though. He wants the weight advantage.

Good, he looked like crap yesterday

Hopefully he looks alive with that extra few pounds rightfully on his frame according to the RULES, not the contract.

Rehydration clauses make no sense whatsoever. The only rule should be about making the predetermined weight. They need to just switch back to same day weigh ins to avoid these types of things. It would dissuade fighters from dropping too much weight, and if they did drop a ton of weight, it would affect them even more.
