Why did Billy Joe Saunders split with Jimmy Tibbs ?

Post by biglefthook »

Does anyone know can anyone shed some light as to why Billy Joe Saunders and Jimmy Tibbs have parted ways
I see he's now joined up with Adam Booth which is a good move I think.
Butt it seemed he had a father son relationship with jimmy and a brotherly one with mark tibbs
So why did they split ?
I heard Billy wanted to meet them to sort it out obviously it hasn't worked

Id imagine Jimmy takes no nonsense, and Billy created a bit over the last year.

Good question .....someone must be able to shed some light. I heard he was due to sit down with Jimmy after his last disappointing defense.

I would of thought the answer to this was obvious.

Saunders is 10 pints of Fosters, a gram of pub grub, a gorger molt and a Chinese take out personified. He 100% has at least 3 pairs of Sports Direct "council estate grey" tracksuit bottoms and is the sort of bloke who'd eat a big bowl of sugar puffs for dinner.

I bet he smokes soap bar.

Maybe Billy Joe is putting it down to his latest performance. He admits himself that he was rubbish.

What puts me off boxing is that they don't want to fight the best when their at their best. I remember Billy Joe Saunders even saying in front of the camera that he "wasn't ready for GGG yet, in a year or two!" - Yeah wait till he's old and the fight is easier for ya, that's what the fans want :roll: No other sport would that happen. Sometimes I wished I was into football.

You would think this might be the reason , think I read somewhere that he was even talking about jacking it in .

I think you have "hit the nail on the head" . Plus Tibbs would have to weigh up the finance vs. reputation question concerning being associated with bjs.
