Thought Billy Joe gave a decent account of himself. Nowhere near powerful enough to really threaten Canelo though. Best he could have hoped for realistically was a close points loss - but after seeing the cards it would've been a wide points loss.

Canelo just on a different level and too good.

I think it's possible BJS might retire. That injury is a nasty one and will be vulnerable if he boxes again. 

I think most people were happy to see him demolished by Canelo. Saunders is a vile scumbag lets hope this is the last we see of him.

Shame it’s not in the UK. Biggest UK fight in a very long time held in Saudi Arabia?? I know this is about money but what a shame.

Mind you - for 100M I’d happily be punched in the ring by Fury

Probably wouldn't be able to sit down for a while after mind.

Def not the 7th according to Frank. Seems it's Fury holding things up.

Confirmed by Hearn for August 14 in a purpose built stadium in Saudi.

Not announced by both camps yet though.

if and a big if that this fight will go ahead, Saudi Arabia what a load of shite,this fight should be held in this country for the likes of us to be given the chance to watch live.

Without a full stadium the fight wouldn't make economic sense in England sadly. That just can't be guaranteed.

*not as profitable 

Well yes. Unfortunately the Corinthian ideal died decades ago.

If MBS and his bloodsoaked crew are going to offer a guaranteed astronomical site fee, boxers in the biggest fight of their career are spectacularly unlikey to request they are paid a third of that so Dave from Hull and his mates can below 'Sweet Caroline' from row 284 (restrictions allowing)!

Obviously it'd be far better if it was here, but I'd sooner see it there than not at all.

I love watching Buatsi, he's absolute class and a future world champion in a red hot division imo. He comes across as a genuinely decent man too.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Virgil Hunter has done for him.

Please don't turn him into Andre Virgil..

Kinda follows through with second punch by accident I think.

Felt like total mismatch of a fight tbh 

I think it was just his killer instinct. You could see Buatsi's reaction after he realised what he'd done- he clearly had the hump after Dos Santos picked him up.

Fair play to him for comforting Dos Santos after the fight.
