Daniel Jacobs received extra motivation while training for Canelo Alvarez.

Daniel Jacobs (35-2, 29KOs) looked sharp in his open workout as he prepares to take on Canelo Alvarez (51-1-2, 35KOs). If there was the need of a push for Jacobs during training, Alvarez as his punching target was the way.

Jacobs jokingly threw some knees at the body protector with his opponent on them, then demonstrated power with some hard body shots. The IBF middleweight champion is set to meet Alvarez in a unification bout at the T-Mobile Arena on May 4.
