Danny Jacobs Lost To Canelo At 160 And Sums Up Crawford’s Chances Of Beating Him At 168 In 4 Words

If there’s one man that knows a thing or two about going head-to-head with Canelo Alvarez, it’s two-time world middleweight champion Danny Jacobs.

The 38-year-old from New York faced Canelo in a world middleweight championship unification bout back in May 2019, putting his IBF crown on the line against the Mexican superstar who held the WBC and WBA titles at 160lbs.

Danny Jacobs put on a good performance to take Canelo all the way, but ultimately could not piece together enough of a game plan to stop the Mexican star in his tracks. After 12-rounds, Canelo claimed a unanimous decision victory to dethrone ‘The Miracle Man’ of his IBF strap, unifying three of the four middleweight titles.

Speaking to Pro Boxing Fans, Jacobs was asked to share his thoughts on what he believes will happen when Canelo clashes with Terence Crawford at super-middleweight later this year, saying that sometimes ‘skills pay the bills’.

“Sometime skills pay the bills and we know for sure that Crawford has the skills over Canelo. It’s just sometimes power, weight and experience may have a factor in that. So it will be a good test for Crawford. I’m a fan, the fans are the winner with that fight.”

‘Bud’ is faced with a monumental challenge when he steps up two weight divisions to fight Canelo in September, although the opportunity to become a five weight world champion and a three-weight undisputed champion will give the American all of the motivation he needs to pursue the victory.
