Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez defeated Daniel Jacobs via unanimous decision to unify the middleweight division at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. He now holds the WBC, WBA and IBF middleweight championship of the world.
The judges Dave Moretti and Steve Weisfeld scored it 115-113. Glenn Feldman scores it 116-112. The fight, however, was by no means easy for Canelo, as even though he dominated the first half of the fight with his slick defence and head movement, Jacobs came back strong in the second half of the fight and gave the Mexican star a lot of problems.
Although many people thought Canelo won, they were also upset about the biased commentary from DAZN commentators Brian Kenny and former boxer Sergio Mora. Current UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier was one of them. He called out Mora and Kenny for their biased commentary.
Brian Kenny and Sergio Mora really suck! Canelo won but Danny fought a good fight man wtf they ruined the fight.

“Brian Kenny and Sergio Mora really suck! Canelo won but Danny fought a good fight man wtf they ruined the fight.” Cormier tweeted.
This resulted in retaliation from former world champion boxer Sergio Mora who offered to train Cormier in striking so that he doesn’t get beat up by Jon Jones again.
Sorry you thought I sucked champ. I think your striking sucks. Let me work with you so @JonnyBones doesn’t kick your ass for a third straight time. https://t.co/p0yHZtN1I9

“Sorry you thought I sucked champ. I think your striking sucks. Let me work with you so @JonnyBones doesn’t kick your ass for a third straight time.” Mora tweeted back.
Daniel then retaliated with one of the best comebacks of all time.
Pretty good Serg so let me retweet so that people actually see it. You have 10k followers. We can’t waste good material can we? You sure didn’t have any last night during the fight https://t.co/nAQF26n6lm
