Odds according to Oddschecker and updated Saturday at 7 a.m. ET. 

                 

The oddsmakers have Alvarez winning this bout, as do many of the pundits, writers and fellow boxers. In ESPN.com's roundup of predictions, 16 of the 17 people polled have Alvarez winning the bout. Most expect him to have to work for it, though; only three have him winning by stoppage.

In fighting and surviving Golovkin twice, Alvarez has shown that he can take a punch with the best of him. Jacobs is a hard hitter, but he doesn't pack the same force as Triple G. Unless he catches Alvarez perfectly, he's unlikely to win by knockout.

If the fight is going to go the cards, Alvarez has shown he knows how to win points. The pride of Mexico has an excellent jab and a superb sense of timing that allows him to set up eye-catching counterpunches, the kind that send his opponent's head whipping to the side before snapping back into place like a bobblehead. 

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (51-1-2, 35 KOs) will look to unify three world titles on Saturday night when he takes on Daniel Jacobs (35-2, 29 KOs) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in a middleweight superfight.

Alvarez, one of the richest athletes in the world, owns the WBA and WBC belts, while Jacobs holds the IBF title. Demetrius Andrade holds the WBO strap, and Alvarez could soon have him in his sights if he can do what's expected of him and beat Jacobs on Saturday.

Having defeated the dangerous Gennady Golovkin in a rematch bout in September (the first was called a draw), Alvarez is seeking out a new set of challenges. He beat up Rocky Fielding to win a title at super middleweight in December, but he has moved back to 160 pounds with his sights set on conquering the division. 

The heart of Mexico and the borough of Brooklyn have generated a long line of boxing talent, leading the sport to a Cinco de Mayo battle that pits the best of each region in pursuit of middleweight supremacy.

“Fighting on these important dates gives me a lot of pride and honor to represent my country and people,” said Canelo Alvarez, a three-division champion from Guadalajara. “It’s a lot of responsibility, but I feel at home here, because a lot of my countrymen come here to support me. To see how they celebrate these dates is very motivating.”

The presence of Alvarez (51-1-2, 35 knockouts), the World Boxing Assn. and World Boxing Council middleweight champion, is expected to turn T-Mobile Arena into a sea of red, green and white on Saturday night.

It’s an atmosphere International Boxing Federation middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (35-2, 29 KOs) will counter by entering with the late Notorious B.I.G. or another Brooklyn artist booming on his headphones.

“Something for me that represents the struggle of my people and the culture truly motivates,” Jacobs said. “Canelo is fighting for his people. He comes [to the ring] to Mexican music and the pride that he feels from that — that’s what I get, because the struggle is similar.”

Brooklyn has given boxing heavyweight champions Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe and Michael Moorer. Jacobs attended the homecoming parade for former unified welterweight champion Zab Judah, and has dreamed of his own celebration.

In the opposite corner stands the most successful Mexican fighter since the legendary Julio Cesar Chavez.

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez bids to extend his dominance of the middleweight division in Las Vegas Sunday (AEST) when he takes on Daniel Jacobs in an eagerly anticipated unification bout.

Mexican icon Alvarez is putting his WBA (super) and WBC titles on the line when he faces Jacobs at the T-Mobile Arena aiming to claim the American’s IBF belt.

Alvarez starts as a heavy favourite for a contest that has been notable for an absence of trash-talking and bad blood between its protagonists.

I prefer to talk once I’m in the ring and my boxing will speak for itself,” said Jacobs (35-2).

“It has never been my intention in my lead-up to any fight to sort of create this animosity to sell the fight or to bash my opponent.

“Never have I ever wanted to do that. It has never been in my nature. I know that boxing is just a sport,” added Jacobs, nicknamed “Miracle Man” after overcoming a rare form of bone cancer earlier in his career.

‘THAT’S WHAT WORRIES ME’: ‘SPECIAL’ REASON CANELO TITLE UPSET COULD HAPPEN

THE BRUTAL MAYWEATHER LESSON THAT SHAPED $521 MILLION MEGASTAR

Alvarez (51-1-2) has not fought since demolishing Britain’s Rocky Fielding inside three rounds in December to claim the WBA super-middleweight title.

The 28-year-old is back at his preferred weight for his fight with Jacobs, who has notched three victories on points since a bruising 2017 defeat over 12 rounds against former champion Gennady Golovkin.

With the fight timed to coincide with Mexico’s festive Cinco de Mayo weekend, Alvarez is expected to once again benefit from a large support in an arena he last graced when he defeated Golovkin by majority decision in September last year.

Alvarez also earned a controversial draw with Golovkin at the same venue a year earlier, a bout that Jacobs believed should have been awarded to the Kazakh champion.

It has left Jacobs’ handlers nervous about judging once again playing a pivotal role in Saturday’s contest.

“There should be a spotlight on the judges,” Jacobs manager Keith Connolly said.

“Why shouldn’t there be a lot of scrutiny? I have confidence they’ll do well. But they should be held to a high standard because if you’re going to be involved in a mega fight, you have a fiduciary responsibility to do the right thing,” Connolly added.

“For the fans, for the sport and most importantly for the fighters.”

Alvarez, meanwhile, vowed to take the decision out of the judges hands. “I’m ready, ready to beat him, ready to continue writing the story, as I’ve always done,” the Mexican said.

“I’m a boxer who has been confronted with all boxing styles. Maybe he’s bigger, but that does not bother me, I’m aiming for the knockout and I’m going to get it.”

Sunday’s fight is the second of a lucrative $US365 million deal Alvarez signed with streaming company DAZN last October.

If successful, Alvarez could next face American Demetrius Andrade, the WBO champion, or a money-spinning third fight with Golovkin to settle their rivalry.
