I don't think he can comfortably make 160 anymore. I think he'll hang on to it for a while and then unify. I'm just hoping we don't see many WBO mandatories. I think there's a good chance of seeing fights against the likes of Degale and Smith. It's just a shame that Groves has retired. But I think it's a good move. It's a horrible first fight, but definitely a good move. It's a shame about the Andrade fight, but GG will probably fight Canelo again, and there's no way Oscar will put Canelo in with Billy. So in my opinion, those fights weren't really viable. I just hope he stays injury free and fights on a regular basis.
I like Saunders as a boxer and imo he could be the best in the division but he doesn’t half have a habit of making fights,cancelling fights,getting his career back on track and then in between fighting muppets. Dreadful fight imo,could of given Murray his big fight that he thought was gonna happen twice?
What an idiot,take a tune up,by all means but please don’t insult our intelligence by calling it a big fight. These two are trying their best to derail Saunders career.......”ok Billy why don’t you find some homeless girl with learning difficulties and offer her drugs and worse”meanwhile”I’ll find you some duffer and tell everyone it’s a huge fight”.
You're talking like he's been robbed of lots of meaningful opportunities. In actual fact, he's the one with a very well-thumbed compendium of reasons not to fight X opponent.
Yes, he has to take responsibility for his actions. It's been a very disappointing and frustrating year, seeing him gain weight in-between camps, the issue surrounding the Andrade fight where he was stripped of his MW title, and then the silly videos where he was bored. He's just spent too long out of the ring and he's not getting any younger. But despite the above, I firmly believe that the Canelo fight would never have happened at any point, due to Oscar wanting to protect his golden goose. And due to the close and controversial fights GG had with Canelo, I don't think we'd have seen Billy fight GG either. I think we would only have seen that fight, had GG have beaten Canelo comfortably. So even though he has to take full responsibility for his unprofessionalism, I think he has to move up at this stage of his career. As a big fan of his, I'd much rather see him target the likes of Degale and Smith, than fight Andrade and then just keep hoping for fights against the likes of Canelo and GG, which in my opinion are unrealistic to make.
IB funfact: Isufi's nickname is Kezaqi, taken from that of his favorite (Albanian) soccer club, lit. translation of "kez" and "qi", the words for the colors red & black. Yeah...some funfacts are funner than others.
Shefat "I suffer" Isufi I had to "boxrec" this guy to know who he is, and then saw he lost to a past Yarde opponent by stoppage. Haven't seen any footage of him yet, so don't know if that's his usual level, but I fear the worst.
