Comments Thread For: Saunders Wanted To Come Out For Ninth Round, Says Ben Davison

[Damn Wicked]

It didn’t look like BJS put up any fight with his corner. He seemed pretty accepting of not continuing the fight. He was getting hurt more and more as the fight progressed and he knew he would be destroyed had he gone out there for the 9th round. The hoe deserves all the humble pie that he’s getting. Maybe this will teach him some humility.

How so? Was the video doctored? You guys are all full of **** trying to convince people that they saw something different than what was plain and obvious before their eyes. BJS got the fight beaten out of him. He wanted out and his cornermen saw it and made it happen. Plain and simple. This other bs narrative that BJS was surging and just got “unlucky” is pure fabrication. Every single fighter who quits from now is going to have the same excuse, that he suffered a life-threatening injury that fixed the stoppage; because nobody wants to except it they quit. We’ll see what individual fans believe.

Of course the video has been doctored! There is some guy talking bull**** over the footage: "You can clearly see Tibbs saying this .... you can clearly see Saunders saying that ..."

Even if you are a trained lip reader you can't see Tibbs saying anything, because he has his back to the camera, and Saunders didn't say a damned word.

Thanks to Ben Davidson for letting us know he just talks s**t in interviews and toes the line. Saves a bit of reading and watching in future.

The fight was televised and there's guy who isn't in any state to focus on saying much at all, Was he roaming about protesting at being stopped like Vitali Klitschko or Zab Judah? No. He wasn't. And to be fair, he wasn't physically capable of doing so.
There's also no-one who will watch this fight in future and think. -Oh this guy Saunders is coming on strong! This guy Saunders is going to win!-
literally no-one thinking that.
I actually believed, in the aftermath, his team would be strong and keep it real. How wrong I was.
