LOL! WTF are you talking about? We're all giving BJS exactly what he "afforded" to DDD. Stop yer whining. We don't even know if he's seriously hurt or not. Oh yeah...Father Hearn said so.

not sure i'm whining. merely pointing out that whilst he is due some stick, he can't be expected to fight on at the risk of permanent damage (vs the p4p no.1). not sure whats so confrontational about that

Well, you go on being fair, I'll go on lambasteing Saunders. He derseves ALL the stick he is getting. Never wished him harm physically, just laughing at how weak he is emotionally. Another big mouth with nothing to back it up.

he deserves stick for his earlier criticisms of fights who have "quit", but for all the vile things he's done he doesn't deserve to be blind

Hmmm...don't remember anyone saying that. Also no reports on whether he was injured or not. Not yet anyways.

hearn is saying its a triple fracture requiring immediate surgery. i'm not defending him, just affording him the same standard of non-biase afforded to brook/DDD.

Where as Billy Joe was last seen crying into a towel and team Saunders have gone into hiding which is odd, they had a lot to say before the fight

I undersatand he had all the talk of I’d die for this win ect ect, but would you go blind to lose in round 10 instead of 8? Cause that’s the scenario, it isn’t risking his health to win, at that point it’s risking his health to lose slightly later...

Fray Bentos wrote: ↑09 May 2021, 20:21 Did he quit: Yes

Was he right to quit: Yes, he couldn't go on and it was his call and he made it - Max Baer (after his fight with Joe Louis) said something along the lines of that because someone pays 20 dollars for a ringside seat doesn't entitle them to a public execution.

Does he get any sympathy from me: Absolutely not. There's nothing wrong with quitting and if he had been a proper adult, he could have had a few post fight words to say he was beaten by the better man and apologise for his words - especially about Dubois - if it makes him into a better human being, then his corner retirement loss would have been the best lesson for him ever.

Nice post.

I have worked out that is the one thing that is really bugging me oogs - is the fact that despite his mouth fornicating working fine (why is how we knew he quit...) he has yet to say he was beaten by the better man and show some humility, in fact, he might have bailed (pending on medical reports/xrays) because he didn't want to do exactly this (or get KO'd in front of the planet of course which was coming in that next round) like the child that he most certainly is.

If he thinks he is just going to brazen it out once he recovers then he can say goodbye to his boxing career in the UK (not that he was a proper main eventer anyway...) he'll get booed to fornicate.
