    Programme starts at 12.30 on regular Sky.

    A few years ago I'd have given Jacobs a right chance in this fight but given how much Canelo has improved I can't see it unfortunately.

    Was watching more of Jacobs during the week and he really is an average at best inside fighter. Sulecki especially really showed it up. Think Jacobs only chance is to get on his bike like he did against GGG for 12 rounds and hope he can jab his way to a points win. I just think Canelo will still be slick enough to slip past Jacobs' jab and land the more eye catching shots.

    Canelo points I reckon but a stoppage after half way wouldn't shock me either depending on how brave Jacobs gets when the fight is getting away from him.

    Can’t see anything other than a Canelo win. He was my favourite boxer but the drugs ban Has totally tainted him for me. Hope Jacobs wins but just don’t see it

    ...Jacob's has failed a 2nd weigh in, that had a 170lbs limit...Weighed in at 173.5lbs, and will be fined 1 million...But fight still goes ahead and for the belts as well...

    Good win for John Ryder. He's on some roll.

    Delighted for John Ryder.
    Despite the fact that he always looked small for the weight, even at middle, I always liked his style. Very well rounded, well schooled fighter, who I never thought would go this far, but always enjoyed watching him.

    Going to get fined over 750k for it which is mental. I kind of respect him for it in a weird way. Shows it's not about the money and all about the win to him.

    Delighted for Ryder tonight, clearly has put a lot of work in and he got the payoff for it. Hope he puts up a good show in his title fight and based on tonight he has a shot.
    Something not right with Ali there. Young isn't that good.
    I won't bother waiting up for the Jacobs fight, pointless watching a fight that he cannot win. Alvarez will get the decision no matter how the fight goes as we seen in the two GGG fights.

    Golden Boy judges rearing their head on the undercard already. Lamont Roach getting very favourable cards there.

    Diaz looked handy there. Farmer takes him though but would be a good dust up

    She mangled it. DAZN seem a bit amateur at this. Ringwalks were fcuked up too

    Buffer seems to be phoning it in too

    Aye dunno why Jacobs got two ring walks. Like they realized half way through that they forgot to go to Buffer first. Bizarre.

    Canelo just way too slick. Jacobs a bit too static for my liking though. Needs to move more. 4-1 Canelo.

    Canelo took 11 so he has this won unless Jacobs stops him (unlikely)

    Canelo done enough but that turned out a better fight than the first few rounds suggested.
