Neither fighter ever appeared badly hurt, though Jacobs landed some of the bigger punches in the late rounds. He got another $1 million from the purse of Jacobs after Jacobs weighed in too heavy the day of the fight. But the two boxers had agreed in their contract not to weigh more than 170 pounds Saturday morning and Jacobs weighed 173.6. By the middle rounds, Jacobs was switching from conventional to southpaw and back again, trying to find a rhythm. The two traded punches on several occasions, and Jacobs landed his biggest punch with a left hook in the ninth round that got the attention of Alvarez.
