Billy Joe Saunders Splits With Jimmy Tibbs

[freddydoesdallas]

Reading between the lines and seeing the pictures of BJS looking like mark bosnich, I'd say tibbs split with BJS .

Total joke year, loads of lies about why he's been inactive. Can't see many trainers wanting to work with him, certainly not booth, mcguigan etc..

I don't think he will hold onto his title, most likely he will slip away from the public consciousness after a few more forgettable performances.

Some guys can't handle defeat and some guys can't handle winning.. Fury and BJS seem to definitely fit the latter, soon BJS at least will have to face the former.

It must be hard for them to have been brought up with being told that society hates them and that they'll never achieve what they should because people won't allow travellers to be successful and then actually achieve it with a lot of support.

My money would be on a paddy Fitzgerald type

A paddy fitzgerald “type”?

A yes man token trainer. The sort of bloke who's happy for the payday, talks a good game but is really letting the fighter do what they want, telling them they're the bees knees and letting them get away with all the crap their original trainer that actually tells them what to do and makes them work won't put up with, and will eventually be blamed by the fighter and sacked after the inevitable loss/losses.

Can't wait for Saunders to lose. Really really dislikeable on so many levels, from his lack of dedication to his holding hostage of a title, his pathetic opponents, his obsession with the similarly deluded Eubank, his inarticulate ramblings, his offensive comments that make Tyson Fury look like a sort of avuncular cuddly scallwag, his disgusting bullying 'prank' videos that he posts, his embarrassing bullshit call outs filmed in his caravan, his refusal to even fight shite opponents with a name like Rosado let alone GGG...

This thread I found when I was trying to find the alleged video of him stripping that bloke naked pretending to the be a copper was the beginnings of my BJS hatred.

Even boxing's biggest bellend Adrian Broner, I can sort of feel sorry for him because the kid is going to jail and seems to be genuinely a little touched, like he's not wired right. Adonis Stevenson, someone who seems legitimately evil, is perhaps the biggest scumbag in the sport. But at least he's exciting.

Billy Joe though, jeez. He really reminds me of the thick bully kids at school when I was younger. He's horrible.

He seems a troublemaking bully. Got a proper chip on his shoulder for some reason. I sometimes feel sorry for such bitter people, but not for too long!

Shame because he has/had talent and I always thought he could have achieved more than he has. Some people can't help being a wanker though can they?

I don't think Fitzgerald is a bad trainer.

Groves completely threw him under the bus.

Paddy Fitzpatrick presumably?

I don't think Fitzgerald is a bad trainer.

He colluded with George in all that "everything for a reason" and round 6 bollocks, and his over affected super laid back persona certainly grated (just look at how he's sprawled across the ropes as the fighters are introduced in the Froch Groves rematch, or that footage of him lying down in the ring while George is shadow boxing. Urgh. That would do my nut in if he was training me. He seemed more into mind games and other hocus pocus crap that actually getting George ready for the fight. That's George's fault, but I don't think Adam Booth or McGuigan would have put up with that. That said, maybe he did a good job and George just met better men? Who can really tell?

Groves completely threw him under the bus.

He certainly did.

Paddy Fitzpatrick presumably?

You're absolutely right.

yes that was my point

[boxingknockout]

Paddy Fitzpatrick or whatever is a total fraud.... I wouldn't be surprised to see BJS trained by Peter Fury

[lillywhite14]

Peter Fury is quite particular himself about who he trains isn't he?

Here's one for you all, and could be a match made in heaven, they seem to get on well and both chat plenty of bollocks...how about John Fury?

[samwbr]

He's cost Warren a fortune with his ducking behaviour this year and his performance the other week. Whoever he gets in the corner will need to get a big improvement in conditioning and a big performance in the fight out of him or he might never get a big payday again.

Yeah he did but by the same token Fitzgerald I couldn't tell if he's a good trainer i don't really know much about him. Mcguigan seems to be getting a lot more out of groves.

[Coco]

Mcguigan has a finished article

[coneye]

I 'm glad Franks looked after him ,, because i think he's yesterdays news ,, Missed the boat has Billy . doubt he can command a big payday to lose his belt now

[Bodyshot3]

Really not the smartest move I'd suggest; maybe Team Tibbs got too honest and run the kind of ultra-tight ship Billy thinks he is now above?
It would certainly not be the first time a recently crowned champion decided he now knows best and is no longer prepared to be a pupil.

Strangely....he'd being get the exact same regime with most of the other credible options.

For example, I don't think the McGuigan's feck about and they expect their fighters to work hard, listen and live the life and Gallagher is much the same and has a full-house of contenders/champs anyway.

And if he goes with the Furys - who he' s clearly close too - does he move up North or go on one of their Belgium bootcamps?

Wrong move Billy

Its all downhill from here from Saunders. Hes the world champ and canelo has him in his sights now. Either he takes the pay out against canelo or "relinquishes" his belt and moans about it!

[Sklar]

We don't know why/if they have split do we?
