anyone think jacobs has a chance tonight?

[BigOrange1 6432]

round 1 to jacobs. 

[BigOrange1 6432]

round 2 to canelo. 

[BigOrange1 6432]

round 3 to jacobs. 

[BigOrange1 6432]

round 4 absolutely to canelo.  best round of the fight thus far. 

[BigOrange1 6432]

round 5 to canelo. 

[hobbes2702 13028]

Jacobs has only taken round 3 so far. He needs to open up some and throw more. Use his size a bit and make Canelo he more active. If he lets Canelo just duck and counter then he’s going to lose.

[BigOrange1 6432]

round 6 to canelo. 

[hobbes2702 13028]

This is better now from Jacobs. Open up and throw some combos

[hobbes2702 13028]

Canelo takes round 7 even though it was better from Jacobs than the last few

[BigOrange1 6432]

round 7 to jacobs.

canelo is better, but jacobs is making it way more competitive than i'd have thought. 

[BigOrange1 6432]

round 8 to canelo.  

5-3 canelo. 

[hobbes2702 13028]

Jacobs hasn’t looked bothered by the power of Canelo. He needs to be willing to scrap like that round. At this point if you get hit and get knocked out then ok. Don’t lose without really fighting though.

He took that round imo

[BigOrange1 6432]

damn, bomb from jacobs!

[BigOrange1 6432]

i still give round 9 to canelo. 

[hobbes2702 13028]

Round 9 Jacobs imo

[hobbes2702 13028]

87-84 for me through 9

[hobbes2702 13028]

Round 10 Jacobs

[BigOrange1 6432]

10 to canelo

[hobbes2702 13028]

96-95 for me. Jacobs has clawed his way back by being aggressive. Keep attacking him and you gotta chance.

[BigOrange1 6432]

how dare that crowd boo GGG

 

[BigOrange1 6432]

11 to canelo 

[hobbes2702 13028]

Round 11 Canelo

Canelo looks like he’s clearly the better fighter in every way but Jacobs has done enough to make these rounds close and debatable. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Canelo squeak this out but it’s not that far apart.

[hobbes2702 13028]

Round 12 canelo

[BigOrange1 6432]

round 12 to jacobs.

8-4 canelo 

116-112 canelo. 

[Topper13 3257]

Flip ya' for real

[hobbes2702 13028]

116-112 Canelo for me

[BigOrange1 6432]

top 5 p4p imo:

1. terence crawford

2. errol spence

3. vasyl lomachenko

4. canelo alvarez

5. gennady golovkin

[hobbes2702 13028]

Loma

Bud

Canelo

Spence

Usyk

[BigOrange1 6432]

That sucks. I liked him on HBO, glad he outlived HBO’s boxing run. 

 

Sorry to see HBO give up on boxing. It’s created a void on my weekends since December. I miss Friday Night Fights on ESPN too.

Good fight tonight on Fox 

[BurdineBandit 815]

I had a lot of fun watching Williams vs. Hurd on FOX Saturday. Hurd was starting to gain steam as a dangerous man at 154, and I thought he was better than the much more hyped Charlos (which he still might be), but Williams just took it to him, and beat him at his own game on the inside. Great fight.

The two fights on ESPN were not nearly as good as two bigger/longer guys beat down their smaller counterparts. Berchelt looked much too fast for Vargas, and Navarrete looked much too long and busy for Dogboe.

[hobbes2702 13028]

Usyk making his heavyweight debut tonight. Anyone watching?

[Goo Punch 4275]

so uh, that didn't take long.

[spystud13 2371]

Holy shit. 

 

 

[Bozo_Casanova 26432]

Good for Wilder for seeing it, but a terrible mistake by Breazeale. My daughters could put him down dropping his lett hand like that. Garbage boxing.

[williemackgarza 1826]

Dropped em

[hobbes2702 13028]

Yea I’m dumb and thought Wilder was next week and Usyk was this week so I missed it live. That was vicious.

If the pre-fight interview where he was talking about how you’re legally allowed to kill a man in that ring wasn’t scary enough...

Yeah, you had me all confused yesterday. Usyk tore his right biceps, so he ain’t fighting for awhile.

[hobbes2702 13028]

Fuck I didn’t see that at all. Damn. Was looking forward to seeing him at heavyweight

I don't think I have ever seen one-punch that was that devastating. That was amazing, and scary, and amazing.

Oh, I saw all of Mike Tyson's fights. But name me another that looked like that, in a heavyweight championship fight.

Off the top of my head I'd say the Marvis Frazier, Henry Tillman and Michael Spinks fights could fall into that category. But I still think the crispness of that Wilder shot trumps those by Tyson.

Let me go watch Tyson’s greatest hits (I haven’t done that in quite a while, and it is very enjoyable) and I’ll get back to you.

I'm not trying to say Tyson was not vicious or not a great puncher. But that one punch there by Wilder was amazing.

I just did.  Jesus Christ.  That's a must watch once or twice a year.  It's like a bomb goes off on several of his KO's.
