Solid fight, Alvarez was in control for most of it and Jacobs was never able to build enough momentum to really take it.

I don’t mean this in a xenophobic way but you think this guy would speak half decent English by now.

He learned some English a while back but was embarrassed about how he sounded so he stopped trying to use it in interviews and such.

You know it’s bad when both guys have belts but the PBP guy keeps referring to one of them as “the champ”

"Patel"? Fuck you.
I thought the fight was a draw or maybe 115-113 Alvarez. I wasn't particularly impressed with Canelo for the purported #3 pound for pound fighter in the world. He gets hit a lot and seems incapable of winning fights decisively at the elite level. Jacobs, Lara, and the GGG fights were all close and probably half of them should be losses. I have an uneasy feeling when watching a Canelo fight that the scorecards have already been written.

That said he probably beats either Andrade or Golovkin. Andrade has never been able to put it all together and Golovkin is 37 and looked worse in the second Canelo fight than he did in the first (which he won clearly).
