It's because everybody already knows Canelo is going to get the Win no matter what happens.

Even the experts know what's up.
Fight Picks: Canelo Alvarez vs. Danny Jacobs - The Ring

You would think in a 50/50 or even 55/45 type of fight, more than 2 people out of 19 would pick Jacobs to win.

It's not that Jacobs can't pull the upset. He clearly has the tools to do so. It's just that nobody is convinced he'll get the credit if he does. So why go out on a limb and pick him to win if you already know Canelo gets the benefit of the doubt no matter what?

Canelo won't feel like he's in another super fight again until he loses a decision that most of the public (casuals, advanced casuals, and hardcore fans) agree with.

Oscar's super fights kept feeling important up until his retirement, because there was the intrigue of the unknown since we've seen him lose some close fights before.
I've seen very few fighters talk about judging. Almost every fighter and trainer who picks canelo says it's cause canelo is a beast flat out. Never heard them talk about canelo winning because of shady judging. Only off skillset. Canelo is a the favorite because he's more skilled than Danny. I still think it's a 55-45 fight myself. But I see canelo catching up to Danny eventually and hurting him.

That's if Canelo's stamina holds up this time.

It sounds like accepted corruption

No..if you didnt use and lock in your free trial and/or the grandfathered rate before the changeover date. It goes to the 19.99 a month or 99.99 for the year options
fukk. Been thinking I could wait until the 2nd and get a free month for this and the AJ fight, then cancel.

The fighters and trainers ain't the only people that's gonna watch the fight and form an opinion though. The fans are what makes the fight buzz. Not the trainers and fighters, even though their included in the group as well.

Nobody will ever convince me that Canelo getting the benefit of the doubt in all these close fights, ain't a factor in people picking him to win. :manny: So we just gon agree to disagree on that because when Jacobs fukking sneezed on GGG, nikkas were saying he'd wash Canelo.
Now nikkas see he gotta KO dude in order to win and now it's Canelo is such a beast. :ohhh:

I can see Jacobs either out hustling Canelo to a controversial decision loss or Canelo just happening to keep hurting Jacobs enough to bank rounds and win a decision. I don't see a stoppage happening unless its some Baldomier type of shot that just ends shyt off rip.

Fight has no buzz tho.

It definitely felt like Spence vs Garcia was bigger.

Promotion lacked Canelo's trainer telling Jacobs to fight Brooklyn Style :sas1:

The Fight has no preconceived narrative so everybody is going to have to actually watch and judge it without holding it to some meaningless standard. :sas2:
