    Comments Thread For: Saunders Admits Weight Issue, Needed 6 Months To Drop From 210

    At least Billy Joe Saunders was honest about what has happened to his career since he won a middleweight title nearly a year ago. The trash-talking WBO middleweight champion has been hard on himself since his sub-par performance Saturday against Artur Akavov in Paisley, Scotland. Saunders defeated Russia's Akavov by unanimous decision (116-112, 116-113, 115-113), despite starting slowly and looking lethargic during much of the 12-round fight, his first defense of the 160-pound crown he won from Irishman Andy Lee last December 19.

          He needs to get right back in the ring, even vs another club fighter..

          If this truly the reason for his performance than he needs to schedule another fight ASAP and avoid another layoff

              Damn, what a porker. FFS, what is this guy doing?
              I think 168 is pretty ripe for the taking so I agree with you about moving up. Otherwise, all he's going to be doing is avoiding Golovkin for the rest of his career.

                      Not surprising anything that happened happened. You don't fight for as long as BJS didn't fight then this **** is often a problem for guys. Make a f#cking fight even if its a bs fight if you're a fighter. BJS was playing games for a f#cking year. He needs to get motivated about fighting instead of payday & games.

                          Yeah I agree, doesn't even have to be a ranked opponent, just have a fight soon to keep him motivated. Get in shape then give Akavov a rematch.
