Las Vegas braces itself for “Canelo” vs. Jacobs<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (50-1-2, 34 Ko’s), will defend his World Boxing Council middle title against Daniel “Miracle Man” Jacobs (35-2, 29 ko’s), this Saturday May 4th<\/sup> , during the celebrations of “Cinco de Mayo” weekend, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with the extravaganza being transmitted by \u00a0DAZN.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During his career 28 year Canelo has captured an array of titles facing the very best, which includes Austin “No Doubt” Trout, Sugar Shane Mosley, Alfredo “Perro” Angulo, Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara, Liam “Beefy” Smith, Gennady “GGG” Goloovkin and Floyd Mayweather.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“I have had a great preparation to face Danny Jacobs. We know the quality of my rival but I have no doubt that I will\u00a0win \u00a0and I will be one step away from becoming the undisputed world middleweight champion.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jacobs, from Brooklyn, New York, is recognized as one of the best middleweights of this era. The 31-year-old, was sidelined from the sport for 19 months due to a courageous battle against cancer, which he overcame and recovered\u00a0\u00a0from.\u00a0 Daniel has fought Jarrod Fletcher, Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin, Gennady Golovkin, Sergiy Derevyanchenko, among others. Jacobs, who is also very motivated and well prepared for this fight, commented:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“This is an excellent opportunity to achieve greatness in the ring. I can beat Canelo, and\u00a0this coming \u00a0Saturday I will have the opportunity to show him. My preparation\u00a0were excellent and I rely on that. \u00a0I will become the best middleweight in the world. ”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also \u00a0at stake, and adding to the excitement plus prestige is the Mayan WBC belt. It represents eighteen centuries of Mayan culture that shine \u00a0for its hieroglyphic writing, art, architecture, remarkable numerical systems, astronomy, mathematics and\u00a0appreciation \u00a0of ecology.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This masterpiece \u00a0was created by brilliance and ornate craftsmanship of Mexican\u00a0genius.\u00a0\u00a0 The belt has a gold bath, resins with jade powder, in addition to containing the figure of the Kukalkan and the jaguar, among 19 symbols surrounding the logo of the World Boxing Council.\u00a0 A unique recognition worthy for the winner of a great classic.<\/p>\n
