He still got the victory, but he is FAR better than that. Fair play to him for his honesty in the interview after the fight, hopefully this gives him the kick up the arse to live the life. I know he had issues pre-fight in camp, which doesn't help - so whatever has happened with Tibbs, he needs to get it sorted or if it's that bad he needs to look at hooking up with someone like Adam Booth.
Clearly there's issues there, no Tibbs, the bellend in the cap running the corner, he looked fat, has clearly been fat for large parts of this year, lack of fitness. I don't think he could be any worse than that.

First thing he needs to do now is sort things out with Tibbs, if they can't then he needs to find a new trainer before he looks at anything big. Needs to be someone that will travel away from home with him and not to Marbella either, where for all the talk of no distractions, there's absolutely loads of them. Peter Fury would be an interesting option, he's clearly friendly with the family and when they go into camp they go off into the middle of nowhere in Belgium and Holland, no opportunities for pissing about there and he'd be forced into living the life.
:TU: Good post

It didn't work for Tyson Fury , so why would it work any better for Saunders ?
