I don't understand those calling robbery at all, and I'm one of the people who thought Canelo lost both GGG fights.

Jacobs essentially lost the fight in the middle third because he absolutely refused to stand and fight Canelo. When he did, he got results because he would stop Canelo from moving and throwing shots (even when Jacobs missed jabs, they were occupying Canelo at the very least), but he would never really pursue that course of action in earnest. Worse yet, there were times where he would just stand and let Canelo hit him, which did nothing for his standing in the judges' eyes.

By the time Jacobs got going in the 8th-9th round, he was already in a 3 round hole (in my eyes) and basically boxed even, maybe slightly better than Canelo at best for the rest of the fight. That wasn't going to be enough to win him the fight overall.

Even Danny's promoter says he lost :yeshrug:

marquez said jacobs won

I mean canelo literally did nothing the second half of the fight

Jacob catching body shots with his elbow and the announcers saying canelo landed

jacob digs the body nobody says anything, he landed the bigger and better shots, canelo could land jabs

I don’t think he was that gassed honestly

Canelo has been working on his stamina for years. He proved that moving up to middleweight because that was his biggest flaw.

Jacobs was being aggressive and Canelo was looking to counter and leaning on the ropes. His momentum stopped when Danny switched stances and Canelo started getting hit a lil bit more out of southpaw stance and it threw him off.

You can tell because at one point Danny was on the move and Canelo didn’t expect him to move to his right while trying to cut off the ring and was frozen for a moment.
To be honest I think it could be his knee. Looked like he mighta been favoring it some. He wasn't digging in like he usually does.

The Truth

That could’ve been it as well, i barely noticed his knee was wrapped

It was just something I subconsciously noticed because Canelo was about to run away with this fight until Jacobs went southpaw

Not saying that Canelo was hurt by anything Jacobs threw out of southpaw but it made him start to have to think more and took him out of his rhythm a lil bit

Canelo pretty much swept the first half and won the 11th and 12th easily. I gave the first round to Danny just to be kind, but he coulda lost that one too. Danny lost the 11th and 12th no question. He wins those two and he wins the fight on the judges scorecards. He even admitted that he chilled cause his corner told him he was winning :hhh:
