Never understand people giving boxers props for preparing properly and/or turning up in shape

Billy gets it because he usually hasn't!

Understandably, the real money for Billy is in the rematch. So yes he is as motivated as he ever will be to get the win.

Billy strikes me has the sort of guy , who money is'nt the real motivator ,, think he probably has enough to suit his lifestyle anyway ... Don't think you'll see BJS buying a house in Dubai , giving a barbie doll wife , unlimited credit card ,,, This fight though , course he wants a reasonable slice of the pie , but i think its just a fight he really wants to win and is totally motivated , pinnacle of his whole life since he first laced on gloves has a kid .

Thats why i'm not writing him off completly , too many boxers and trainers in the know , have said how good he can be when switched on ,, and has good has Canelo is , I'm not convinced its such a great resume , he certainly looked shaky when he fought good boxers WITHOUT a age , weight , or drug advantage

Although i liked Mike Tyson’s outburst yesterday “he’s knocked out ! he’s knocked out already !!”

I'm trying to think if any other fighter in the past has come off a string of poor performances to beat a top five pound for pound ?

Good point, me neither. But I think he'll rise to the occasion. Again, he won't win.

To have any chance he'll have to perform way above anything he's ever done in his whole career,which is possible I suppose,how much are Americans being charged to watch it ?

Saunders to then quit on his stool blaming a dodgy shoulder or hurt hand mid-late rounds.

And I guess thats what people seem to be overlooking; BJS has never shown in any of his previous fights that he has got what it takes to run Canelo close - let alone win. Then add to the fact that BJS is probably fighting a weight up from what would be his ideal; it could be argued based on his last few fights he is on the slide ... and Canelo is prob as good as he gets about now.

Its about levels. Liam Williams was shown to be that level or two below Andrade last week, but showed his fighting heart to still battle on and make it a tough and entertaining fight.
I just cant see BJS showing that grit once he starts finding it mission impossible.

It’s tough - his wife and kids have thrown him out so he sleeps in Eddie’s spare room. Eddie let’s him stay there rent free aslong as he takes the dog out for a walk once a day and does some social for his shows.
