    Pure class from Dubois. Can't say the same for Eubank though. 5 years after Golovkin vs Brook, he's still making most his noise from the safety of Twitter. Hard to quit against an elite opponent if you never get in the ring with one. Mark Tibbs emerges with as much credit as anybody, he was there at the end with Saunders when Ben Davison and Tyson Fury were noticeable by their absence. Both appeared to treat the whole event as a chance to self promote. No doubt Davison would have been holding court for days had Saunders won letting us know his tactical input.

    Honestly wouldn't surprise me one bit if Canelo's gloves were loaded.

    The thought did cross my mind.
    I didn't even expect Saunders to win or do particularly well, and I dislike Saunders and I don't mind Canelo ..... but I have to say, I wouldn't be surprised if they've got some special gloves/wraps there.

    Not sure i agree tbh. Its not amatuer boxing. Surely effective aggresion has to come into play.

    You,d struggle to find many or any punches billy joe landed that we,re actually effective in that fight. Powderpuff stuff.

    At some point...these punches have got to have an effect otherwise its just amatuer boxing.

    Billy joe,s style was found out a bit for me...people have been saying hes our most skilled fighter. The truth is its a style thats just out to snatch points. Pretty much just a style set out to take advantage of boxing scoring for me.

    Good fighter billy joe but you have to put something into the punches to be effective.

    That's pure class from Daniel Dubois.

    But I do have this image of him typing that out one-finger style flanked by Martin Bowers and Frank Warren, who, after an hour of deliberation and discussion on the final version, have written it out nice and large in bright crayon for him to copy.

    It actually shows how great Floyd Mayweather was.

    Canelo's only been in one fight where he was completely outclassed.

    He couldn’t do that to Marcus Morrison.

    Davison is an absolute joke. Why was he even there poking his man bun in anyway?

    That was an inexperienced Canelo though.

    The three judges who all had Canelo ahead prove you wrong!

    Don't judge someone on how they react to a difficult situation unless you've been through it yourself is the lesson to be learned, things like that can come back to bite you as Billy has discovered. A humbling experience for the loudmouth bully.

    Dubois issued a classy response on Twitter

    Edit: not that Daniel manages his own account but still lol

    Just saw that, if Daniel wrote that himself then credit to him for not doing what most of us would and sticking the boot in
