Comments Thread For: Saunders Under Fire After Past Comments on Dubois Come Back To Haunt Him

[Liondw]

I didn't hear Billy say he doesn't want to continue, but he said he can't see out of that eye, and I don't think he objected at all to the fight being stopped.

Canelo threw that right uppercut that was slightly a hook with bad intentions. The man really punches hard at times. I think stiffer challenges would come from Benavidez, Charlo and Beterbiev if he fought him, but I think Canelo edges them.

Saunders is an all round scum human being. Worse even than fury. Saunders is the ultimate flat track bully. A liar and a coward. LOL a true gypsy warrior.

If you talk the talk you have to walk the walk! Saunders is a complete idiot. We know his sexist comments, his redneck behavior. Great that Canelo kicked his ass.

To be fair to BJ, Dubois actually dropped to the ground (off a jab thrown by a guy who is unlikely to ever win a significant belt) and watched the ref count him out. After a vicious uppercut, BJ ran away from and groped Canelo (most likely #1 p4p) until the end of the round where his trainer allegedly called off the fight. Sizable difference IMO. It's still funny that the same injury he was slagging on another boxer about ended the biggest fight of his career. Then again it's not like he was going to win anyways. Crooked judges plus raging Mexican beef beating the crap out of him equals zero chance for the tallywacker...

The difference was Dubois was in with a guy another level and had no answer for the a solid jab in the eye he took loads in the damaged eye and Dubois wasnt really competitive for 11 rounds and the eye was damaged for a while . Bit saunders was in the fight he was competing and had good moments his but only took one shot in the eye that was damaged said no mas . Just saying if we are comparing if 1 is worst. But props too both

I've always cringed a bit when I've heard fighters criticize other fighters for quitting. They're leaving themselves open for future criticism, as until the situation arises, you never really know what's going to happen. They might feel they know how they'll react but until it happens, they really can't.

Almost every fighter who's 'quit' has stated before hand that they never would.

There is absolutely no evidence that BJS has a broken orbital bone. It is all speculative right now. His corner is making a guess/excuse and the DAZN people are making a guess/excuse and guesses should not be taken as proof. Until he sees a proper specialist then and only then should people say he had a legit reason to quit. And swelling and bruising is not enough evidence to say he broke his orbital bone because bruising and swelling around the eye is a regular occurrence in a boxing match with 98% of the time there is no broken bones involved with the swelling and bruising so based on the %'s it is unlikely that BJS broke his orbital bone.

Damn, I wasn't aware bjs said that about dubois. This is like the ultimate watch what you say. My opinion he was winning the fight until the 8th. I think Canelo was toying with him and just waiting to unleash hell on him.

Sad **** that people are calling gypsies quitters.......not fair at all considering we all know that ALL of the UK are natural born quitters.

Better to be labelled a 'Quitter' (who tried and failed) than a 'Coward' who failed to try.

Billy Ho3 quit..

Saunders maybe could of just from that point on wards, tried his best to survive 'I am not sure whether he has given any interviews, but it will be interesting what he says'.

I know he was injured, but due to his past comments? You would think, he would of then diverted tactics to just surviving.

Alvarez seemed to be just following him about anyway, if a fighter decides to move and spoil 'They could probably survive vs Alvarez'.

But with it being so late in the fight, that would of been a great physical effort for Saunders etc.
