You should take a big redner for comparing them as role models, embarrassing statement -  even for a fanboy.

Neither are role models. Fûcking athletes shouldn't be role models for anyone with a bit of cop on anyways.

Proper role model on now, though he said the word f**k a few times. So he's out

Yeah, was watching it myself thinking Syf is so full of dung.

Was a good, well-made show that.  Seems like a decent fella - Family man, and always has time for fans - Funny wee f**ker too.

Everyone see the video of BJS taking the piss out of the addict girl and making her slap a random stranger and call him a paedo? sc**bag.

Now he's reportedly failed a drugs test. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/breaking-billy-joe-saunders-fails-13321796

Which is interesting given his views on Canelo. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/boxing/billy-joe-saunders-vs-martin-murray-canelo-alvarez-drugs-test-doping-a8320581.html

Callum Smith knocked out Groves in the 7th to win the Super Middleweight World Super Series in Saudi Arabia.

Groves didn't look right all night and got rocked by a big left hook and some big follow ups. Groves was on his knee and Smith hit him very late on the back of the head. Groves didn't seem too bad and looked like he could get back up as the ref was counting. He was shaking his head though and didn't try.

It was the punch to stomach that done him I think. I didn't think that final punch even landed to the back of the head.

Yeah Groves even said himself after the fight that it was the body shot, video of the shot here:

Fury and Wilder would do well to tone down the ridiculous McGregor Mayweather style nonsense in their press conferences. Its all a bit embarrassing and is beginning to put me off actually bothering to watch the fight.

At least McGregor usually means it.  Fury and Wilder are actually friendly enough off camera but are putting on the act just for the hype.

It's silly stuff but I don't think it's as bad as McGregor and in fairness it's mainly Fury who's a complete rocket at the best of times let alone the build up to a big fight. Remember the Batman costume for Klitchscko?

What does McGregor actually mean? He's all smiles and hugs after every fight.

Canelo fighting Rocky Fielding at Super middle weight next. I did not see that coming.
