    Bradley Saunders seems te be returning. He's listed on a Sky card on the 23 June.

    I though he was decent and would go for a European title before he got outworked by Garrido and showed to be a sore loser after getting himself disqualified on purpose.

    I wonder if he can come back stronger then before, because he seemed to have the talent but not the mindset to become a Euro level fighter.

    One of the most naturally gifted fighters I've had training in my gym

    Nah not for me, well it depends what his ambitions are, if he wants to earn a couple of quid then fine but at 31 years old and looking at that last performance I'm not seeing what all the fuss I say about.

    As Billy said, hes was a great natural talent but not living the life does catch up with you and the natural talent will start diminishing.
    Then the self belief is the next to go which is what we saw in yhe fight where Bradley was disqualified.
    Its well known he likes to party.
    I cant see him doing anything

    Too late in the day for Saunders to do anything significant in professional boxing now, much like Frankie Gavin. Another case of 'what could have been...'

    Saunders had a very tough amateur career. I believe he was past his best before turning professional.

    I remember watching one of his fights, when he was training with Billy. Looked really good, but then watched him fight after when he wasn't with Billy and he was so bad in comparison looked like a different fighter.
