I'm going to way off here and predict that Jacobs will controversially win a disputed decision because nothing in boxing makes any sense and trying to read the madness is futile, the only predictable thing is that there will be new disappointment around every corner.

Avid Daniel Jacobs fans may recall that in his fight against Golovkin he skipped the morning weigh in (opting not to fight for the IBF belt) and was rumoured to enter the ring at over 180lbs Since then, the IBF has changed their rules for unification fights, doing away with the 10 pound rehydration clause, but for this fight specifically, Alvarez and co negotiated a rehydration clause where Jacobs has to pay a fine based on how heavy he is. It's been reported that it at least at one point it was $250 000 for every pound overweight he was. Jacobs himself said the number was lower, closer to $100 000 per pound. Jacobs weighed 173.6 pounds this morning, meaning he's forfeiting $360 000 at the very least. He will continue to gain weight and could once again enter the ring near 180 pounds. Canelo weighed in at 169 Jacobs is the only Canelo opponent I can think of who will actually fight with a significant size advantage, for whatever that's worth.

The SituAsian posted:So impressive from Ortiz. He's ready a former title challenger level (like Jose Benavidez, Yordenis Ugas) already I mean if he could do that to Ugas that would be pretty insane.

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

Most people probably like having commentary I know this is an obvious thing to say, but still
