He just saw it as a fan trying to jump the barricade and enter the ring.
Yeah - I’m sure that’s the case too. May have got through if he’d walked up to the security guard and explained who he was or went with Tyson.

Yeh, he didn’t help by jumping over and charging through.

These security guards are not always boxing fans and don’t follow the sport closely either. They are strictly there for the event. Looked like Tyson tried to get someone’s attention.

I seen lots of comments saying the security guard was an idiot, he should be fired etc. Bit harsh, he was doing his job.

Yeah - the guy was just doing his job and the likelihood is that he had no idea who Tom was.

He didn’t actually see where he came from either. He just saw an old man charge at him.

Old Tom got manhandled after just about managing to scramble over a 3 ft barricade. Is anyone even remotely surprised.

Yeah if he got attention of a guard. Explained who he was and took it from there then it wouldve been fine.

Old tom was old stupid tom in this instance. The security did the right thing.

The show that keeps giving :OhYes:

Just when you think things can't get any better, then this :lol:

Excellent scoop maverick123 :TU:

Security are not to blame. The problem is BS's dad also seems to think you can do what the hell you want, when you want and there will be no consequences.

“P-ssy. That was bad, Even if you were losing the fight at least go out with a bang. You’re in front of 73,000 people. It’s sad that it had to end like that. It is what it is.”

“I don’t agree with it. There’s girls out there, guys out there that go out with their eyes (swollen shut), I don’t understand it, man. It’s bad for business.”


He may have said this before knowing the real damage that was caused..

People will stop paying if fighters are stopping fighting.

Long term reader and finally made an account, first post... :yay:

Thought Saunders boxed fairly well but never really looked like having the power to hurt Canelo or keep him off.

Thought it was the correct call from Tibbs and Saunders didn't seem to protest too much, probably because he knew fighting 4 more rounds against Canelo with one eye would have most likely seen him knocked out.

I was thinking about this earlier and I agree. If a man is being paid millions to fight by the public there is a legitimate case that he should not be retiring on his stool after one seriously damaging shot. He should perhaps have to go back out and give the public the opportunity to see him fight on and get knocked out (or turn things round, or what have you). If it becomes acceptable for prizefighters to sit it out with injuries, that at one time men would have continued with and suffered long-term as a consequence, people will stop paying as much as they do now. Saturday was anticlimactic.
