A Worthy Send-Off: Danny Jacobs Outpoints Derevyanchenko, Waits for Saul "Canelo" Alvarez

+

Despite the somewhat somber, valedictory air of the evening, there figures to be a bright and lucrative future awaiting Jacobs. While his handlers preferred to stay mum on their charge’s network free agency, it does not take much to deduce that there is really only one option for Jacobs, and that is for him to join DAZN, the new streaming platform helmed by Hearn himself, and where, crucially, the middleweight kingpin Saul "Canelo" Alvarez now resides. Indeed, it is Alvarez, who owns two of the belts in the division, that Jacobs is now setting his sights on. "The marquee fights, the big fights, the fights that will solidify my legacy," Jacobs said during the post-fight press conference. "We’re looking for those fights."
