    In other words, Billy Joe wasn't exactly pleading to stay in there. It is what it is.

    It's one thing to arrive at a point where he decides he's done all he can and has had enough. Everybody can't be Margarito. But to not even give yourself a chance to abide on the defining night of your whole career...

    I guess these are less stoic times and we all have varying mileage on the matter compared to as little as fifteen years ago, but the boxing culture I fell for was pretty non-permissive about summarily checking out when the going got tough.

    Straight from Canelo mouth "I broke his eye socket and his CORNER stopped the fight"

    If that's how you feel and that's what you believe then that's OK.


    Maybe one day, you'll be in a situation where you have to make a decision about your safety or health and you remember these things you're saying and then remember you have to be a man.

    His ****ing trainer just said he made the call and pulled him out of the fight. His lead eye was shot, he would have essentially been a blind man and a sitting target in there against one of the biggest punchers in the sport. If you were his trainer you'd make the same call. Knock it off with the quitter bull****.

    There were probably 2 rounds that could've gone either way. I gave Canelo 4 rounds cleanly and Billy definitely won 5 and 6.

    For what? Why should he have stayed?

    He congratulated Canelo, he congratulated Canelos corner..



    See this is what it's really about isn't it.. people just disliking BJS and wanting to watch the man suffer.. Or go blind.

    Sick to be honest, taking pleasure in other people's suffering.

    No, most people said Canelo would dominate and violently KO Billy Joe, and a handful said Canelo would be outboxed by Billy Joe. It ended up being Saunders making Canelo look average, outboxing him in a competitive fight, and getting tagged with a shot that caused a freak injury that prompted his corner to pull him out.
