Billy Joe Saunders already on a flight out of the country

[crusader]

He looked definitely looked nervous and he had the same look for the Porter fight, although both times he performed well.

[emallini]

GGG looked shit

[TheLeprechaun]

On a sidenote- did anyone think Brook looked terrified in the dressing room and on the way to the ring tonight? I mean I don't blame him fighting Golovkin but he put up a gallant effort anyway.

Hardly ever seen a fighter look more nervous. I thought he looked absolutely terrified. Especially when he started making the walk to the ring.

GGG looked poo

Could that have been brook boxing better than you had hoped.

I had it close, but brook was frustrating GGG

Saunders is a scumbag I think. He just comes across as a thoroughly unpleasant character. Has Eubank jnr tweeted anything out yet?

BJS is a scumbag....I was happy when he beat Eubank but I would gladly cheer for Jr. in a rematch.

Jr. tweeted something about his corner not having towels.

Someone needs to buy that kid a pen and a pack of towels.

[mickey1975]

Surely Saunders and Eubank have unfinished business between themselves.
Admittedly the loser would have only dubious claim to a Golovkin fight, but both would be on the thin end of the wedge anyway....Against each other they would do a couple of hundred grand each I’d have thought.

Jr has already turned down £800,000 for the rematch.

Yeah that’s what I said “a couple of hundred grand”

wasn’t aware mate, not exactly chump change is it. I know they aren’t bargaining at the same table but if Sky put so much into the football then it shouldn’t be a massive stretch to get the fighters on good money....?

[mickey1975]

It would be on BN.

[mickey1975]

If BJS does box him, it'll have to be over there or he'll have to leave Fwank BN can't generate either the cash or the occasion last night provided.

GGG was ready for Saunders in April.

Instead Saunders turned down a career high payday ( apparently 3-4 times his best purse ) and signed to fight Max Bursak. He also turned down fights with Rosado, Willie Munroe and Curtis Stevens all of which he would win and get HBO exposure. Like his mate Fat Dan said he is holding the WBO belt hostage.

I have been a fan of his for years and put up with his attitude but the way he has been this year is disgusting. Now I wish Andy Lee would have won that fight in style as he would have fought GGG by now and we would have a champion with all four belts.

Ahahahahahah! That's so funny! He's thick as pigshit that boy! How many spelling mistakes can you have in about ten words? Wow! Borerat! Haha! Brilliant!

Please make this one happen. I will never have been more happy to see a boxer smashed than BJS. GGG vs BJS would be right up there with Chino vs Broner for me in terms of seeing a tool get tooled. We need to really start banging the drum for this. I hope it's next.

... What was it he said about Machine guns and ten fighters in one night?

[lillywhite14]

Golovkin beats both, comfortably. Both fights over before the 8th

[nitro5912]

Billy Joe won't fight GGG he said that he wouldn't on the night he beat Lee.

I cannot see frank being able to stump up the cash to bring him over with no PPV. I don't believe it would create the same hype as brook v GGG either. Frank doesn't have a hype machine like sky.

I think BJS would have to go over to the states to fight him.

Poor old billy looking at Kell getting a big payday whilst he is sat at home still bitter that eubank Jr gets more exposure

[ThereByTheGrace]

Ggg should fight Eubank and Saunders on the same night just to make it competitive.

I think that's far more scummy than what BJS tweeted, especially after the Blackwell incident.

The fly is in the web. Fantastic. Within a week, you say?

Looks like he hasn't even discussed it with Fwank yet, which is even better.

To be perfectly honest I didn't think GGG looked all that confident last night, but why I don't know. I think Brook was possibly considering the bookies odds and the opinions of the pundits and at the last moment realised he had maybe bitten off more than he could chew. It was a big fight for both of them and although GGG had the advantage, if his preparation wasn't 100% for example then maybe he lacked confidence and began to have his
doubts. He certainly didn't look his usual self at the weigh in.

Won't be hearing from BJS for a while I'd say. He will go missing after that performance from Golovkin.

On a serious note, does BJS have a remote chance vs Triple G?

I reckon BJS has a better chance then Eubank, Saunder isn't foolish enough to have a brawl with a mega puncher

GGG has two game plans, if he respects your power he goes overboard on the jab and if he feels you can't hurt him he just cuts of the ring and brawls

Has he ever respected anyone's power to date?

BJS would be more difficult to hit as his movement is good, but possibly hasn't have the power to deter GGG

A fit BJS would be GGG's most difficult opponent so far imo

I just felt in the Lemiux and Curtis Stevens bouts he was aware of their powers as they were dubbed punchers

but

I get what your tryna say GGG couldn't give a flying f*ck
