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.
But if Tony is picking up after Eddie's dog, who is picking up after Tony :maybe:
Tony refuses to pick up after the dog so there’s shit everywhere in the garden. There’s talk of them cancelling Fight Camp this summer because of how much is there now.

Barry Hearn threw his toys out of the pram because of the waft of crap he was getting in his office so packed things in.

Just seen an interview with Billy on Behind The Gloves - he seems fully in the zone. No messing - all business.

His dad Tom did one with IFL and he’s still super negative. Seems to have relaxed about the judges but still whining about having to pay to get the rest of the corner team over to the US and no he’s not happy with the ring size. In fairness, Andy (the interviewer) asked what was in the contact and it was pretty clear he didn’t have a clue.

Also gave comments about Canelo’s use of ‘juicy meat’ and that he illegally wraps his hands. Hopefully his negativity isn’t influencing Billy Joe.

Jimmy not allowed over.Not surprisingly but a big blow for Billy and Mark. I remember an interview Jimmy did once when he said he’d cornered out there before, he didn’t know how, but Mickey Duff just said “leave it with me” and the next thing he was on the plane.

Surely his dad is having whatevers in the contract?

A bit like Del Boy last weekend, a main event fighter (or team) kicking up a fuss over something that was surely in a contractual agreement?

Yeah, Eddie has had to put out press releases stating that everything is in the contract for Billy.
Poppa Saunders just enjoying the attention.

Yeah but it’s coupled with now with it being difficult to leave the U.K. and it’s now extremely difficult to get in to the US. Not even Kugan could get it as it was deemed he wasn’t essential to the show happening.

That’s my take too. If it was that important to them then they’d make sure it was right at the time of the contract - just like the judges. Tom was kicking off about not being allowed a British judge when the contract Billy had signed was for 3 neutral judges. And he then blames Eddie for it!

Different story with Saul Albarez.

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

His Da is going on about the size of the ring, wants 22 foot, but I think cinnamon Eddie is pushing for 20 foot - anyone know what size the ring was when Billy Joe fought in Canada?

It all comes down to what Saunders has inside of him, if he can keep to a solid game plan under pressure, he can do well here. The big question mark is can he take it when Canelo starts touching him? My gut tells me he boxes well enough early but will fold somewhere between 4 to 8 when Canelo starts walking him down, cutting of the ring, and landing his shots, i then see Billy's game plan going out the window and its all over, IMO.

I hope i am wrong, I'd love to see Billy outbox him, but i wont be betting on it that's for sure.

I think Saunders can nullify and make Canelo miss, his problem might be actually hitting Canelo.

i can see him landing single potshots but I'd be very surprised if he let his hands go when in range

Don't know for sure but it looks like 20'.
