Title: Canelo vs Jacobs
Post by: bisdak40 on April 24, 2019, 12:16:54 AM
Canelo Alvarez vs Daniel Jacobs
Date : May 4, 2019
Venue : Las Vegas, Nevada

Canelo Alvarez will defend his WBA and WBC belts and will try to take the IBF middleweight strap from Daniel Jacobs this Cinco de Mayo weekend. I think this is just another walk in the park fight for Alvarez against the less popular Jacobs but who knows if Jacobs could land that lucky punch since he is a heavy hitter between the two looking at his 29 KO's in that 35 wins. Just wanna hear your thoughts about this fight guys.

Edit:
Change the title from "Alvarez vs Jacobs" to "Canelo vs Jacobs" since most of the fight fans knew Canelo Alvarez by his first name which is Canelo.

Canelo will own this guy. Canelo was able to beat GGG in their trilogy, Canelo had a great performance in those last two fights with GGG. Jacobs hasn't beat GGG when they fought but manage to withstand against GGG for 12 rounds (quite impressive). Jacobs might be tough but he lacks the punching power to knock Canelo.

Everyone is calling for this fight to happen and I'm glad that we are all gonna see this fight. Don't underestimate Jacobs though, he is a good fighter and I don't see this a walk in the park for Alvarez. So I give Jacobs a punchers chance here, but I'm seeing the fight going to the judges score cards.

Canelo is the most favorite in this match, as it shown that his odds in most bookies is around 1.25-1.3 in average. If you believe that Jacobs can do something unexpected then you will get odds around 3.75
It worth to bet on Jacob with small amount but with high odds if you are so sure about it. Obviously it will be high risk for you but it can be a high return.

For obvious reasons, that only advantage that Daniel Jacobs is height, and everything else favors Canelo here so it will be a big risk to put money on Jacobs.

Alvarez is in his prime, however, I'm not totally sold on his win against GGG though. It is still a questionable win for me. But again Jacobs, I don't see him losing the fight.

I would bet on Jacobs since he is pretty confident that he can exploit the weakness(In his opinion) of Alvarez which is that he has a problem with fighters who can move. Jacobs can move pretty well and this might favor him along with his height advantage.

My money is on Jacobs all the way. High risk = High rewards for me!

There's a lot of hype surrounding this fight. Daniel Jacobs also fought GGG in 2017 and barely losing 115-112, 115-112, 114-113. GGG dropped Jacobs though in the early rounds and the GGG controlled most of the fight. So I'm seeing the fight will end the same. But we all know that Alvarez is a slow started, in which I think Jacobs should take advantage of it he wants to fight this fight. Canelo in my book by 3 or 4 rounds ahead at the end of the bell.

I think that this match will be an interesting one.
Canelo has shown his skills and this is the reason why he holds the belts but Jacobs is a strong fighter as well. He is tall and he has a solid record of KOs.
From the betting side, Jacobs is more of a value bet because Canelo's odds are low in my opinion.

According to wiki, he has a higher KO ratio than Canelo. And it is said He is particularly known for his exceptional punching power, with an 81% knockout-to-win ratio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Jacobs_(boxer)). This doesnt look that he has got no punching power.

I usually like the "under dog" to carry the day because it makes the fight a little tougher. I think my bet would go to Jacobs, he is a heavy puncher, with a lot of confidence might surprise Alvarez and his supporters.

I agree, I don't understand why people are writing off Daniel Jacobs here. I think this is a real test of Canelo Alvarez because Jacobs is a legitimate champion here. I think there will be some movements in the odds and Jacob could close that gap once we got closer to the fight date. If Jacobs wanted to win, he should go for the KO/TKO, he can rely his chances to the judges hands. Jacobs needs to move, fend off Canelo's vaunted body attacks, which for me is is susceptible as he is taller than Canelo, in any case I'm expecting this to be a really good fight.

Jacobs at 3.70 in my sportsbook, I think I like the betting odds of this game, Canelo is overrated IMO.

I think it will of via decision since Jacobs is one tough guy.

Don't rely on yourself too much on wiki everything there can be edited by someone else. If you compare the punching power of Jacobs to GGG, GGG has the highest punching power between the two. Why the comparison? It's because of both fighters has faced GGG and Canelo beat GGG 2 times and Jacobs was beaten by GGG.

This. He seems to be well groomed by Oscar Dela Hoya to be the next cash cow. And I still think up to this day that Triple G beat him in the first and second fight. But I like Jacobs so I will take chances of him once the fight gets closer.

Sometimes, I really want the underdog to win as well. Time to lose those high bettors.  :P Canelo is overrated but he has his stats to boast his performance.  But if Jacobs will truly prepare for this fight, he will have the chance of his lifetime.

It's a close fight and i think that knockdown in the fourth round was the turning point of the fight.

I'm seeing the fight going to the judges score cards.
That's my point here, Alvarez on my view can take and absorb hard punches as we saw on his fights with GGG and this fight could go to the distance and knowing this a Golden Boy Promotion on Cinco de Mayo weekend, we could see a robbery here. The only way Jacobs could win this fight is through a knockout which i thick he is capable of. He can't rely on the judges here.

The odds for this fight according to Nitrogensports is -382 for Saul Alvarez and +301 for Daniel Jacobs. Saul Alvarez have the edge for this fight but I would place my bet on Daniel Jacobs in hopes for a lucky punch for an upset. Fight record of Saul Alvarez is really impressive, most of his wins are through knock out.

Post by: MakeMoneyBtc on April 25, 2019, 01:18:00 AM
Canelo Alvarez is the favorite here and there is no way I could go against him as he has all the guns necessary to take down Jacobs. Canelo experience is a lot higher, having 54 matches under his belt and he only lost one of them against the undefeated Floyd Mayweather back in 2013. I think this says it all, and we also have to mention that Canelo beat GGG while Jacobs lost the fight against him.

There is no way that the fight would be a walk in the park for Alvarez. Looking at the previous fights of Jacobs, he has the guts to fight back and do some damage on Alvarez. Anyway, experience wise, Alvarez has the edge and who knows maybe Jacobs can pull out a sucker punch that would shake the hell out of Alvarez.

Thanks for the insight mich.

Same to me. At first I also thought who Alvarez ? Some Mexican dude (not trying to offent mexicans), probably a good boxer. But nickname Canelo changes everything :D

Well after the announcement I made an assignment to check Dany Jacobs, honestly, he is unknown to me, he is an unpopular champion, and after watching some of his fights, my bet is on Canelo, the guy does not have a real punching power, it took a lot of punch coming from him to knock his opponent out.

Coefs on this match are Daniel Jacobs 3.94 vs Saul Alvarez 1.24 (according to cloudbet.com). 3,94 is rather high, looks like most of the people don't believe in Jacobs victory.

I would say for casual fans, Jacobs is not that popular and probably I would say the division that he is in is also not that recognized. Usually casual fans is in the 147 lbs with lots of recognizable name. But Jacobs has a good resume, I'm not seeing solid as he has faces a lot of unknown fighters and that the division is not that stack up. But he is legit and as I have previously, this is a big test how tough Canelo is, if ever he will win this fight against Jacobs and I will get him props for that.

Nice to see the title of this thread was changed now it should get more replies
If you bet on the underdog in this match you can get good odds but this is Canelo we are talking about.
Canelo only decision loss ever is to. Are you ready. FLOYD MAYWEATHER!

Don't worry, I am not too interested in this game, I'll only be betting a small amount just for fan and hope there is an upset.

Things could happen, dogs are more motivated in the fight so one lucky punch could end the game and I'll enjoy my winning, but don't really expect that. win or loss as long as they show some real entertainment, unlike FLOYD fights, that would be fine with me, I can accept loses all days as I know I can win it back in other sports.

I don't know about you guys, but I have that attitude of wanting the underdog to win.  I just want to oppose the majority. :D Anyways, yes, Canelo is the favorite in this match but bettors should not underestimate the underdog which, in this square off, is Jacobs. According to gambling.com, "Jacobs is a fast and powerful middleweight who really knows how to get his punches off. He’s excellent at setting the pace of fights, and he’s adept at winning them through multiple strategies." But, after all, the decision will depend on the judges. So may the best fighter win.

I stopped watching boxing after Gennady Golovkin was cheated of a victory not once, but twice against Canelo Alvarez. What is the point in watching these matches if the best fighter is not the one who is going to win? The jury will select the winner, no matter whether he performs well or not. Hopefully the jury will be neutral this time, as Jacobs is American.

Just like you, I don't heard anything from Jacob yet so needs to review his previous fight and learned about his skills, but upon checking, Canelo
still have some edge against him, though this rising fighter can surprise us, but personally I'll go with Canelo as experienced will give him the benefits
of staying and keeping his belts.

My bet is on Canelo, I have seen how explosives he is on all his fights, he is in contention to become one of mexico's greatest boxer, he should go against top guys in his division and the next higher division if he can get through that weight, and of course he should beat Jacobs in a grand fashion, just like what Bud has done to Khan.

Nope, I don't think that the jury will be neutral. Canelo Alvarez has enjoyed the support of the judges just like what we witnessed in their fight with Gennady Golovkin so I would not be surprised at all if we are going to see it again against the American.

That's why Jacobs should finished the fight and KO Canelo and try to broke that granite chin, it might be difficult but not impossible.

The fight will be happening in Las Vegas, and if the jury is stupid enough to favor Canelo over an American national, then it will create quite a few problems for the organizers. I am neither favoring Jacobs, nor Canelo. I want the jury to be neutral and award the match to the best fighter (in case either of the fighters are not able to KO their opponent).

It could a tough bout for Jacobs, Canelo Alvarez have that advantage with his fighting experience. Remembering how he fought and beat GGV, this shows that he have that strong punch which could probably be used their fight. 
Anyways, boxing is not all about how strong you are but it is also in the right timing. Strategies and can figured out how the opponents work in actual event.

I still think that GGG won the first win and the second can go either direction. So it's a hard fought match but I'm not convince that Alvarez really beat GGG in my ends. Daniel Jacobs is the fight that I think will give Alvarez a difficult fight, more than GGG, imo.

It will happened in US during Cinco-de-Mayo, a Mexican day celebration.

Quote
As BoxingScene.com first reported last week, Jacobs’ team vehemently objected to Adalaide Byrd’s inclusion in the pool of available judges submitted to both camps by Bennett. Jacobs’ team also expressed opposition to Trella working his middleweight title unification fight against Alvarez.

So you see, Jacobs camp are very choosy we will be the judge for this fight because they know that they have a disadvantage even though your argument is that the fight is in US soil and involves US fighter. But obviously Jacobs camp knows that Canelo Alvarez has a history of being favored in a close fight, just like we have seen in the first GGG vs Canelo in which majority saw GGG winning, but the judges see differently.

Hmm.... It's nice to see that Jacobs is taking the necessary precautions to ensure that the jury will be unbiased. Talking about the fighting capabilities, I do think that Jacobs is a much better fighter technically. However the betting sites are giving advantage to Canelo. Anyway I will not be placing any bets for this fight. Looks quite risky.

This going to be a great fight and I think it will end with a knockout. I'm not sure if I want to bet anything here, but if I should bet then it would be on Canelo Alvarez.
I don't think that this fight would end via knockout. Both fighters can take a punch as we saw on their last fights. GGG's fight with Canelo and Jacobs end in a controversial draw considering that GGG is one hell of a knockout fighter.

Bookies give Canelo the edge as we have witnessed how controversial those two fights with GGG. History repeat itself and we might as well prepare for a robbery ;D.

Hmm.... It's nice to see that Jacobs is taking the necessary precautions to ensure that the jury will be unbiased. Talking about the fighting capabilities, I do think that Jacobs is a much better fighter technically. However the betting sites are giving advantage to Canelo. Anyway I will not be placing any bets for this fight. Looks quite risky.

Then go for Jacobs, small risk big rewards.  ;D

I agree with @bisdak40 that bookies is giving Canelo an edge, but we all know he is a great fighter but his win against GGG is somewhat controversial for most boxing fans.

Good for Jacobs to take necessary precautions in picking up the judges in his fight, but if he didn't do enough to get the nod, then it will be another controversial ending and might be called for robbery again.

If this guy can last 12 rounds then it would be nice for the fans to see.
But if Canelo will knock him out, those controversy in the past will be overshadowed by his new success.

This guy fought Mayweather before and he lose via unanimous decision, maybe since Mayweather is not picking packing, he like canelo to fight again.
Let's see how this fight turns out, I realize Canelo is way better than his opponent now.

Canelo has fought the best boxer in this era Mayweather and Ganady, he is on top of his games right now and Jacobs is just going to be an added badges to his glorious career, but I'm thinking that he is not facing a patsy and we all love an underdog to win a fight, but still my vote is Canelo by a decision, but not ruling out a knock out.

Whoever wins the game as long as it's entertaining, fans would be so happy and they will feel they got entertainment on what they got paid for.
Canelo's fight with Mayweather is the most boring fight of his carreer, Mayweather is too fast for him Canelo cannot fight on his usual style as he does not dictate the fight.

The previous match of Canelo is great so I think he will own the stage this time again and put Jacobs down. They have both the  strength but the experience of every boxer will play a big role on this fight. Will look for a betting place to put my bet with Canelo, I want to win this time so I will still choose to be on the safe side.

You are talking about the fight against Rocky Fielding? Yes... his performance was good during that match. But then Rocky Fielding is not a legend, unlike boxers such as Gennady Golovkin and Amir Khan. But for Canelo, it gives him a lot of confidence. His team might say that Canelo won his last fight by KO, while Jacobs won his last (vs Derevianchenko) by SD.

That's the reason why fight fans watch boxing, to be entertained but on our side as bettors we bet on who got the high chance of winning or where we win big. For me i bet for Jacobs, low bet high winnings for me.

Of course, we want to be entertained. And at the same time we have our own favorite (or hated) fighter. You have to understand that Canelo was not at this prime with he fought Mayweather. Actually, he was relatively unknown that time, only Mexican boxing fans know his name.

That's why we can't really used it as basis, Oscar Dela Hoya was right, he is the next big boxers because after that lose, he improved to now the biggest star of boxing.

Canelo Alvarez vs Daniel Jacobs
Date : May 4, 2019
Venue : Las Vegas, Nevada

 I think this is just another walk in the park fight for Alvarez against the less popular Jacobs but who knows if Jacobs could land that lucky punch since he is a heavy hitter between the two looking at his 29 KO's in that 35 wins.


      No, I think this is not just a walk in for Alvarez besides  this gonna be a big test for his stamina since Jacobs has have the power punch that's enough to knocking down tough opponent and that 29 KO's of 35 wins is not a lucky punch for sure.

Nice odds for the winner but if you are convince that Canelo's opponent stands no chance, you can take that free money.
You'll earn 22% of your bet amount, it's already good betting on the heavy favorites and would be better if you put a decent amount on it.

To make things worst for Jacobs is the match being in Canelo territory so the judges will side with Canelo.

The more i read articles about this fight, the more i like Jacobs. He isn't called  a "miracle man" for nothing. He has beaten cancer that could end his life and this fight is less than that. Putting my money now on Jacobs, high risk but high rewards also but who knows, miracle can happen at any given time.

     No, I think this is not just a walk in for Alvarez besides  this gonna be a big test for his stamina since Jacobs has have the power punch that's enough to knocking down tough opponent and that 29 KO's of 35 wins is not a lucky punch for sure.
I am convinced that this is a tough test for Canelo not a walk in the park though 8).

Good odds, but I think there will be more spread as the fight gets closer. 22% is not that bad, but it's a big risk-reward ratio. For me this fight will be close as well. Not willing to take the risk on Jacobs though, but for those boxing/gambling fans, this is a good opportunity to make money while enjoying and getting entertain.

Never seen the video yet, but I guess they wanted to put more hype specially at weigh-in. So probably part of the script because they needed to put casual boxing fans in the sit to watch the fight.

Jacobs as others said, is a live dog and the odds are enticing. might be worth the risk.  ;D

Jacobs give good odds but you can play it for fun because we all know how good Canelo is and he can knock this guy out, if he wants to.

It was a closed decision by Canelo and unify the belt. The scores were 115-113, 115-113 and 116-112. All I can say? This could be a draw, 114-114.  Anyways, I think Jacobs did good in the early round to take the lead and Canelo may have overtaken it according to the judges in the later round, but that's just me and not taking anything from Canelo though.

I watched the weigh-in and it looks like no drama to me. Jacobs is really pump about this fight and so is Alvarez. Both fighters needs to be restrain by their crew.

However, in the fight, it looks like Jacobs fell short on the judges score card. He threw a lot of punches but non has impacted Canelo. Good win for Alvarez to unify the belt. But it was a close fight but I give the edge to Alvarez.

Gonna be interesting to see what will be the PPV numbers in this fight. Seems that it didn't generated enough buzz, although Canelo is the A side here and held during Cinco de Mayo, so let's see.

This is expected, the only way for Jacobs to win the fight is through a knockout, that might be the reason why he did not met the contracted weight the morning of the fight. He looked the bigger fighter but Canelo have outsmarted him as he is lighter and quicker to avoid those power punches of Jacobs. He may have hurt Canelo in the 9th round but not enough to put him on the canvass. Boxing judges sucks but people in the venue, majority maybe Mexicans as it is the Cinco de Mayo weekend were happy of the result.

GGG on ringside, hoping for that 3rd fight with Canelo.

As far as I know GGG sign with DAZN as well so there is a possibility that a big third fight is on the horizon. Jacobs is the taller fighter, but as you have said, Canelo adjusted specially when Jacobs is moving. Yes, I would also assumed that Canelo has a lot of Mexican fights so another reason to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

Yes he did (https://www.cbssports.com/boxing/news/ggg-signs-with-dazn-canelo-alvarez-trilogy-and-more-fights-to-make-for-gennady-golovkin/). So there is a chance that we might see a trilogy after all.

And according to Canelo:

Quote
For me, it’s over,” Alvarez said about his rivalry with Golovkin. “But if the people want another fight, we’ll do it again, and I’ll beat him again.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/canelo-if-people-want-another-golovkin-fight-ill-beat-him-again--138697

For me the fight fell short of expectations. More of a chess match, back and forth fight adjustments (Canelo going south paw) and eventhough there are round that are exciting like the 8th and the 9th, it doesn't have the excitement that a Canelo and GGG fight. So bring the 3rd fight in the table, it could bring more money for both fighters.

Yes, I think the first fight with GGG could go to Golovkin though. There's no way the judges could give it a draw as GGG was moving forward in that fight. Anyways, let's see a third fight with GGG so that Canelo would proved that he really win in those 2 controversial win.

It could be the biggest purse for Daniel Jacobs as well. Win or lose he is guaranteed a cool $10 m. Canelo Alvarez is new the cash cow of boxing. I remember when Pacquiao was at his prime everyone wanted to fight him because it's a sweepstakes. And now we are seeing in it Canelo Alvarez.

What's next for him? He needs to face or go up in weight and face the next champion.

If fairness to the judges and Canelo, I think the fight is not controversial enough to warrant a robbery unlike with his fights with GGG. Just what i have posted days ago that Jacobs only chance to steal the show is via knock-out but it didn't happen.

Post by: Kemarit on May 08, 2019, 01:21:23 AM
nydiacaskey01- it was just $9 million on Jacobs. Why? because there was a clause in the fight wherein he needed to be just 170 lbs on the second day weigh in (prior to the fight), and a penalty of $1 million if he goes over that. Jacobs weigh in at 173 lbs. Interesting that we didn't hear this clause before the fight. I don't know if this affected Jacobs though.

nydiacaskey01- it was $9 millions of Jacobs.

That's what I was thinking also. Did it affect on his performance? The fight was so close but sadly, Jacobs didn't manage to knock out Canelo. If he did, no doubt he won that fight.

But he did go above 170 lbs so what effect are you guys talking about? Maybe there is a psychological effect here but I doubt it. Although this kind of clause looks very sketchy but there are fighters like Manny Pacquiao who implemented this kind of clause whenever the fights bigger fighter so there is no surprises here.

Probably the question is why did Canelo need that clause in the first place? Is he playing mind games off, are afraid that Jacobs rehydrating to like 175++ lbs? Also it was reveal prior to the fight, I think Canelo doesn't want media attacking him with that clause. But since he already won, no one did except Jacobs fans.  ;D

If we look at the tale of the tape, Daniel Jacobs is bigger than Canelo Alvarez by 9 centimeters or 3.6 inches and Daniel Jacobs reach is longer by 6 centimeters or 2.3 inches. I guess Canelo Alvarez want's to play it safe by asking for a clause so that Daniel Jacobs will not step in the ring with the weight where he is comfortable.

Canelo = easy money  8)
But I understand why the judges gave it to Canelo.
If fairness to the judges and Canelo, I think the fight is not controversial enough to warrant a robbery unlike with his fights with GGG. Just what i have posted days ago that Jacobs only chance to steal the show is via knock-out but it didn't happen.

I would agree. But I think that there was no robbery because the need was not there. An unbiased jury might have given a draw. But still, a win for Canelo could be justified. You can convert a draw to a win for either of the fighters and hardly anyone would complain about it. But what happened during the fight against GGG was that the latter had clearly won the fight and the jury awarded it to Canelo. No sympathies for Jacobs. He knew that he needed a KO. And he was unable to do that.

Canelo won the fight and I agree that there is no robbery. About the clause though, it's controversial to me, I mean if you really wanted to win fair and square, why would you like your opponents to be drained? You will hear fighters saying that they don't want to hear their opponents making excuses after the fight but it seems the Canelo has given Jacobs and his team some reason and to make some noise about that clause.

Let's move on, let's give the credit to Canelo for winning.
Boxing is corrupt, there are some decision that we might not agree with, there's nothing new here. come on ;D

Do they mentioned how much is that in dollars if converted?
I think the value is more interesting to know.

It will be difficult to calculate the total revenue, as the 1.2 million figure is for the world-wide audience and not just for the US market. And if I am not wrong, the fees vary from region to region. That said, I heard that at least in the US the fight was priced below the industry average. Normally the rates would range somewhere between $69 and $99, but DAZN was selling this one for $19.99. So I guess, they earned around $24 million from the PPV, which is less than Canelo's purse ($35 million).
