Doesn't sound good for Dubois. Clearly made the right decision to get out of there. His corner probably should have done it earlier.

Hope there is no lasting damage for the lad.

kel brooke did both his, doctors said if had not been withdrawn in one of the fights he would have been blinded ,
hope he comes back good and healthy.

Do bt show a repeat of their ppv shows like sky do in the week after.

Would probably take a look at Tyson Jones if it's on a repeat showing.

The pundits who by and large criticised him and called him a quitter should apologise. His corner have not done their job either.

Martin Bowers did an interview yesterday on the bbc boxing podcast and in fairness his justification of allowing him to continue made sense. Dubois was telling him that he could see out of the eye and he was happy to continue.

On another point I seen yesterday that Glenn McCrory is fighting Holyfield in bare knuckle boxing.

 

[Methuselah]

With all the discussion currently about 'heading the ball' in football, you would think that those criticising Dubois for 'quitting' would consider the long-term risks. The lad was very sensible to make the decision he did.

Jazza Dickens won the Golden Contract on Sky Sports last night. Always comes across really well, a genuine respectful character who goes about things the right way.

In the past hes been unlucky breaking his jaw in the world title fight, as well as that cut against Ward in a close fight. On a good run now and might end up getting a world title fight.

Hes a blue as well which always helps.

Brilliant fighter, top lad aswel.

Been through a lot in his life.

Billy Joe fighting Martin Murray tonight, honestly thought Murray retired years ago.

Constantly get him mixed up with Jamie Moore.

Is billy Joe the bigot guy?

Dunno about bigot but he's not what you'd call a nice bloke like.

A rundown of a few of his incidents here - https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/...joe-saunders-past-controversies-39084561.html

Talented boxer though, albeit one who's fought very few people of note and has an obvious lack of power.

 

[grandjoeblue]

Billy is a brilliant talent who is an absolute idiot with zero dedication. Beat Andy Lee, Eubank and Lemieux which are all very good wins but doesn't want to build a real legacy. 3 good wins in 6 years is a joke. I like Martin Murray but he should have retired last year, he was robbed against Martinez nearly 10 years ago.

Yarde vs Arthur tomorrow is a better fight.

Ha that's a massacre.

Some power from Tennyson - every shot thuds.

Hilarious shout from Nelson that he'd beat Davis after it. The Linares bout would be a decent indicator.
