Billy Joe Saunders just finished off his career

[margaret thatcher]

I guess the nut shots he teaches his kids to use on random people don't work so well against women. You see BJS is a thinking fighter, he knows how to adjust to each situation and each opponent, I'll give him credit for that

[Verdi]

We're all into a very violent sport, whereby people have died directly or suffered severe brain damage as a result. Let's not get all prissy over an obvious joke.

Personally I'm a boxing fan, I'm not looking for a role model. I really couldn't give a shit what personality the boxer has, I just want to see maximum skill and violence.

Anyway I'd like to thank Billy Joe for this. I've just managed to bang the Mrs out first try.

Promoter Eddie Hearn appalled by Billy Joe Saunders for releasing video which appeared to condone domestic violence

Hearn: "People who are in abusive relationships are watching that video. You cannot do it, it's unacceptable."

Promoter Eddie Hearn admits he was "appalled" by Billy Joe Saunders for releasing an "idiotic" video which appeared to condone domestic violence.

Speaking to Talksport, Hearn said: "I haven't spoke to him. I spoke to his management team last night. I was appalled really.

"It was so idiotic, it was so frustrating because I know Billy well. He's a really good kid, with a really good heart. He does a lot for the community, he does a lot for charity, but every now and again he does the most stupid things. The world has changed and realised about all kinds of different things, about how you need to treat people.

"It's always with Billy. He spent the weekend down at the NHS, delivering food packages, and meeting people. It's one step forward, four steps back with Billy Joe Saunders and it is frustrating.

"He's got this mentality where it's me against the world. Sometimes you can have a conversation with him and say 'Bill, what are you doing?' And sometimes that can make it worse. I leave him alone now and when I talk to him, I will be telling him, you're a prat, what are you doing?

I can only tell you, he does have a good heart, he didn't mean anything in the video, but you just can't do it, especially when you're in your position. It's unacceptable for Joe Bloggs down the street to do it. It's much more unacceptable for a world champion boxer to be doing it.

"Thinking you're having a laugh, or not having a laugh, young people are watching that video. People who are in abusive relationships are watching that video. You cannot do it, it's unacceptable."

Although I found it funny Hearns 100% correct.

Cuck Hearns worried about his investment more like, so is playing to the permanently outraged prats.

bet fwank is having a right laugh, not his problem any more!

[Cyclops]

Boxing fans are way too soft for what they watch.

Right. Somebody makes a joke about domestic violence, which has increased because of a global pandemic lockdown, and even though there isn't really a joke there and it's not funny, what a bunch of absolute benders some boxing fans are for not appreciating Billy's comic genius.

This reminds me of Bill Burrs sketch 'no reason to hit a women':

Bill Burr is a professional comedian who's funny. They're not even remotely similar.

No. I think you're a manlet Incel pussy, flexing that you're tough because you're "not offended" by a crap joke about wifebeating. I'm not especially offended by it, but I think it's stupid and not funny.

Suspended his licence Load of pish!

[olij999]

The suspension isn't the punishment. It's just a standard interim step in these circumstances (to take another example, if a fighter is not performing well, his area council may suspend his licence and call him to their next meeting - it just prevents the fighter fighting until the matter has been heard). The Board will no doubt want to hear the matter in full and usually then decide what punishment to impose, so he'll just be suspended until that happens. Given the present situation, I'd be surprised if they meet for a very long time.

They're just doing the fury. He isn't getting canelo now anyway. They'll go straight to ggg I reckon. Totally ridiculous, you're right about that.
