    You can’t call that a quit job without knowing the extent of the injury. Saunders still has two/three years left. That’s potentially £5m+ in purse money still to earn. If he was seriously injured or felt like there was something seriously wrong he did the right thing.

    Saunders was boxing brilliantly. How did you guys have it? I had Saunders one up.

    Looking at replays I think he has told Mark Tibbs he couldnt see and he pulled him out.

    Saunders 5-3 by the stoppage, similar to Chris Mannix.

    Shame how that eye punch suddenly changed the fight

    Was a really intriguing close fight. I had Canelo 5-3 but it could easily have been 4-4

    He has a tiny fanbase. Would need big name opponents to earn decent cash. They wouldn't need him...

    On judges scorecards, 2 had BJS 4 rounds behind after 7 rounds with the other having him 2 behind. He was getting shafted either way.

    He did the right thing pulling out, according to those scorecards BJS needed a knock out to win.

    Great performance for 7 rounds from Billy Joe, but it is what it is.

    The sport is corrupt.

    I had Canelo 1 up going into the 8 taking into consideration he would probably nick the close rounds. Doesn't matter anyway he broke his eye socket and Saunders couldn't take it.
