BJ Saunders, injured or duck?

'Duck' Is the wrong word.

However he's definitely not injured and should have just been honest rather than trying to pull the wool over people's eyes. That's what really winds me up.

 

I agree with you but it’s a ****s trick to pull out. Not fair on Murray.

 

Pretty sure he can't be honest about it because that would cause him a lot of trouble.

 

If this was premeditated I would hope that Murray's camp were given a heads up. At least it kept Murray relevant and he is still in position for a title shot should one become available or a late replacement for a big fight. He is after all still considered a 'contender' and his name would look good on any of the top 8 middleweights records. A fighter that has only lost to the very best.

Where does he go from here now that Canelo and GGG is agreed?

 

Honestly most people wouldn’t notice if he moved to Pluto and never fought again. That’s my honest opinion of the mouthpiece.

 

Feel sorry for Martin Murray in the fact he has paid and trained for two camps and been away from his family. I would not be surprised either way with the legitimise of the injury, but either way he has not ducked Murray. Why would he duck someone who isnt able to beat him ? This version of Murray would not beat Saunders in a month of Sundays unless Saunders was out of shape.

 

There was an agreement in place for GGG to fight BJS in late August. So they must be gutted

 

To me a duck is swerving someone who's a threat, i get that other people my have a broader definition.

To me martin murray is zero threat to bjs and not a fight i wanted to see anyway.

I think bjs faked the injury to get out of a pointless fight as he thought there would be better option. Sucks for murray but thats all it was.

 

The only fight that BJS should be in next is GGG

Let the best fight the best, boxing is so frustrating at times. We've seen ggg Vs Canelo who really wants to see it again.

BJS Vs Murray was a **** fight that no one wants to see and billy probably couldn't be arsed, it does nothing for him

It's a bit like the Whyte situation where he can't seem to get the wilder fight without jumping through hoop after hoop .

Billy prob has no motivation to fight anyone other than golovkin and who can blame him
