Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez vs. Billy Joe Saunders - 8 May 2021

[Ruthless-RKO]

Canelo v Yildrim was on at midnight and v Callum Smith

The shows started at that time but the main events were much later.

My memory is shot to bits,mush have been the GGG fight on at midnight haha

Yes. GGG vs. Kamil fight was around 2am, which is still a decent time for us UK fans.

[coghaugen11]

Billy Joe has no showed the first press conference. He does himself no favours.

That’s professional....

Reminds me of Fwank telling Eubank he was the most unprofessional man hed ever worked with when he said Jr would be training instead of attending a presser and theyd have to go to Brighton to do it! That great fight town!

Sr wasn’t going to bow to that snake. That snitch.

[coghaugen11]

Chris was one to put Fish Eyes in his place.

[tonyevs]

BJS knows this is his retirement fight.

The toys are all coming out of the pram; wait for the hysterical crying after 3-4 rounds.

[Switch hitter]

Some saying it's off now

Brilliant

I'm glad you like my sarcasm

[Switch hitter]

This fight will still happen..... all mind games from Billy Joe's camp. I don't think Canelo will buy into it all properly knew something would happen

[Switch hitter]

John Ryder is flying out tomorrow just in case

I seem to remember Frank alluding to Brighton not being a fight city when Sr was saying they’d have to do the press conference there and Sr just replied.


‘Well we’ve got a lovely pier.’

[Terminator666]

So BJS normally verbally aggressive and not short of things to say doesn’t turn up at the press conference

[Ruthless-RKO]

John Ryder is flying out tomorrow just in case

Just seen this. What a joke!

[GreenLightning]

As if any knd of mind game is gonna work on Canelo

[Terminator666]

I’d see it as a sign of weakness not to turn up at the press conference

[My T Sharp]

John Ryder is flying out tomorrow just in case

Just seen this. What a joke!

Have his advisers warned him how tiny the ring is?

[Jimmy2020]

Eddie 'McMahon' Hearn is on all this kayfabe nonsense for sure.

Just seen this. What a joke!

Imagine getting that phone call

Good on John Ryder. Hardly good prep but he’ll be set for life if he ends up taking the fight.

Up until this, despite all his other stuff, I still wanted Billy Joe to win. After seeing him in the olympics, all his pro fights (half a dozen or so live), I’m now wanting Canelo to beat him.

I’m not sure Eddie would have enjoyed Billy Joe’s dad discussing how his son has been treated in the same discussions as to how the nazis were with the Jews.

Also not sure he would have enjoyed Tom asking people to get refunds for their tickets/DAZN subscriptions.

Billy Joe and Tyson like to gurn about how persecuted Gypsies are while running a fine line in disgusting bigotry themselves

[coghaugen11]

Saunders and Fury are certainly no strangers to gurning.

[coghaugen11]

Ole ‘Chicken Shit Saunders’.

[MightyWarrior]

Don’t worry, it’s just white noise, too much cash at stake - the fight will happen.

Similar tactics used by Fury in Germany, get the team to moan about everything and get a few concessions here and there and leave the other camp a bit unsettled ..

And Billy Joe won’t quit, he’s a hard bastard & will take his lumps if need be

[coghaugen11]

He’s a mental midget so wouldn’t suprise me if he had a streak of yellow straight down that slimey spine of his like a stick of Brighton rock

I might be wrong but I think they are all playing a role. That's why Billy is not doing the talking. He's focussing on the job in hand while all this nonsense is pedalled.

Agreed 100%. Punters being reeled in as per.

[Noxy]

It’s kicking off again?! Flamin Nora. Hearn deserves a holiday after this.
