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.

[Haunebu]

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.

Canelo will own this guy.

Would it be KO or decision? On the paper Canelo looks better and more experienced.

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. 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.

Why two when Golovkin has 1 lose and 1 draw agains Canelo ?

Sometimes, I really want the underdog to win as well. Time to lose those high bettors.   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.

[nydiacaskey01]

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.

[MakeMoneyBtc]

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.

[mich]

Maybe change the title to 'Canelo' since more people know him by that name then his real name Alvarez 
There is a very big chance this match contests to the decision so my only play will me to consider the over prop when it becomes available.
