Alvarez vs, Jacobs - LiVe Stream - Boxing, Fight, Tonight
Canelo Alvarez, arguably boxing's biggest star, will put his WBA and WBC middleweight title belts on the line Saturday night when he faces IBF middleweight champ Daniel Jacobs in a unification bout at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Alvarez (51-1-2, 35 KOs is returning to his normal weight
class after knocking out Rocky Fielding to take the WBA super middleweight crown in December. Meanwhile, Jacobs (35-2, 29 KOs) a 32-year-old New Yorker who overcame bone cancer to become a champion, last beat Serhiy Derevianchenko in October to earn the IBF belt. All three belts will be at stake Saturday night. The latest Alvarez vs. Jacobs odds list Canelo as a -450 favorite (risk $450 to win $100), with Jacobs getting +350 (risk $100 to win $350) as the underdog. The over-under for total rounds is 10.5. Before you make your own Alvarez vs. Jacobs picks, be sure to see the predictions from SportsLine's boxing insider, Peter Kahn.
Kahn correctly predicted that Canelo would fight GGG to a draw in their first. That bet returned a healthy +2000, meaning any reader who followed his advice won $2,000 for every $100 wagered. A fight game veteran with over 20 years of experience as a manager, promoter and adviser, Kahn has his finger on the pulse of what's going on inside and outside the ring. He can be heard weekly as co-host of "The Fight Guys" podcast.
Now Kahn has evaluated Alvarez vs. Jacobs (watch live on DAZN) from every possible angle and locked in his four best bets over at SportsLine. One of them would pay a strong 33-1.
Alvarez, who hasn't loss since facing Floyd Mayweather Jr. in September 2013, is at arguably the height of his career. His bouts against Gennady Golovkin, in 2017 and 2018, cemented his status as one of the world's best pound-for-pound fighters, especially after he beat Golovkin last year. A win over Jacobs on Saturday night could lead to Alvarez-Triple G Part III.
Jacobs, who is nicknamed Miracle Man for beating cancer, has faced Golovkin too, losing to him in March 2017. But Jacobs hasn't lost in three bouts since. He has lost only once in the last eight years, and he'll enter Saturday's fight with the advantages in height (6-foot-1 to 5-foot-9) and reach (74 inches to 71). Those advantages played a big part in winning the split decision over Derevianchenko.
With so many variables, Kahn has you covered with surprising Alvarez vs. Jacobs picks on who wins, by what method, and how long the fight lasts. He's sharing all his recommendations -- including his 33-1 play -- at SportsLine.

After all the pre-fight fanfare fades away and endless talk of judging and rehydration clauses are ancient history, Canelo Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs will finally meet in the ring on Saturday to determine the best middleweight boxer in the world.
The much-anticipated unification bout at 160 pounds headlines T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (9 p.m. ET, watch exclusively on DAZN) as Alvarez (51-1-2, 35 KOs) puts his WBA, WBC and lineal titles at stake against the IBF crown of Jacobs (35-2, 29 KOs).
Although the 28-year-old Alvarez has stood firm as a strong betting favorite (at least in part due to his history of good favor from judges), the fight has all the makings to be one of the most dangerous of his career given Jacobs' combination of speed, power and athleticism.
"It's going to be a very difficult fight, especially in the first few rounds," Alvarez said. "Until the moment that I start adapting and imposing my style, it will be a difficult fight because of his style."

Alvarez, the Mexican star who is rated among the pound-for-pound best fighters in the world, will give up three inches in height and nearly the same amount in reach to the 32-year-old Jacobs, who is among the biggest middleweights the sport has to offer. Yet it's Jacobs' ability to switch stances on the fly that makes him such a live underdog and helped him push Gennady Golovkin to the 12-round limit for the first time in their disputed 2017 bout.
"I don't know what we are going to do as far as switching to southpaw because we might not need to switch to southpaw," Jacobs said. "He may not be able to get past my jab. I might be very effective with staying orthodox and using my combinations from that stance. When I switch southpaw, sometimes it's just to give a fighter a different look and it's to get more of an advantage from that stance because it takes them so much longer to reach me.
"I'm such a long guy, and when I sit on that back foot, I'm even longer to reach. Canelo Alvarez has shorter arms. There are so many things we can go to. We have a plan A and plan B and all the way to plan Z."
To Alvarez's credit, he pointed to his close victories over Austin Trout and Erislandy Lara in junior middleweight title bouts to prove that southpaws "haven't been complicated for me" due to his ability to adapt to all styles. He also publicly doubted whether Jacobs, as a southpaw, could be as effective as he is orthodox, going as far as saying it's "impossible."
