Weekend Boxing Results, May 6

All credit to the judges this time. Anybody that expected to see Saul "Canelo" Alvarez being given rounds he didn’t deserve against Daniel Jacobs was proven incorrect, as Canelo’s unanimous 115-113, 115-113, 116-112 decision was the correct score for that fight. For reference, Sherdog scored it 116-112 for “Canelo.”

For good portions of the fight, Jacobs tried to fight as a southpaw and while it worked well for him initially, he stuck with it too long after “Canelo” had figured it out. In fact, Jacobs’ huge shot off of the outside slip in southpaw stance that everyone went nuts about was actually just “Canelo” rolling with the shot.
