Team-GGG want BJS unification fight in Vegas, but say they don’t take Saunders’ words seriously

James Slater - September 19, 2016 Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that middleweight king Gennady Golovkin wants two things more than anything else as far as his boxing career is concerned: a mega-fight with Saul Alvarez, and to own all the major middleweight belts. The Alvarez fight will have to wait (probably until next September at the earliest) but a fight with reigning WBO 160-pound champ Billy Joe Saunders could happen in the next few months – if Saunders really wants it, according … Read Article

Gabriel Rosado says BJS wants GGG fight for the money only, “He’ll take that ass whupping for a couple of mill”

James Slater - September 14, 2016 Leave a Comment

Middleweight warrior Gabriel Rosado has once again laid into reigning WBO champ Billy Joe Saunders. Fans may recall how Saunders was offered a fight with Rosado for the Canelo-Smith card, only for Saunders to turn the fight down, saying it wouldn’t elevate his career. Rosado, 23-9(13) was fuming and he now says that Saunders is chasing money and nothing more and that the unbeaten southpaw only wants a fight with Gennady Golovkin for the big … Read Article

Best next fight for GGG: BJS or “The Miracle Man?”

James Slater - September 13, 2016 Leave a Comment

Who next for middleweight ruler Gennady Golovkin? Unfortunately, it won’t be the man, the opponent, we all want it to be, as Mexican superstar Saul Canelo Alvarez insists he needs time to fully develop into a fully-fledged 160-pounder and as a result this particular super-fight will not happen until next September at the earliest (if ever!). So GGG will look to stay active against the best available opposition.… Read Article

James Slater - September 11, 2016 Leave a Comment

Can unbeaten Billy Joe Saunders, the WBO middleweight champion, do something, anything, against middleweight king Gennady Golovkin? Triple-G called out the southpaw last night, just after he had broken and beaten a brave Kell Brook, and Saunders, 23-0(12) has answered in kind, saying on social media how he is “ready when you are.”

Saunders has not yet boxed this year, his last ring appearance coming in December of 2015, when he scored a most impressive … Read Article

Eubank Junior insists rematch with “boring” Billy Joe Saunders has to be a 50-50 purse split

James Slater - August 26, 2016 Leave a Comment

Chris Eubank Junior insists that the “bad blood” between he and the only man to have beaten him as a pro, Billy Joe Saunders, ensures the two will fight again. But the reigning British champion says there is no way he will ever accept the 80-20 purse split WBO middleweight champ Saunders offered to his father in a recent spat on social media. Though Eubank Jr lost the 12-round decision in November of 2014 he … Read Article

Gabriel Rosado tears into “coward” Billy Joe Saunders; proposed match-up off Canelo-Smith card

James Slater - August 12, 2016 Leave a Comment

It looked like WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders would appear on the big September 17th card in Las Vegas topped by Canelo Alvarez against Britain’s defending WBO 154-pound champion Liam Smith, but now, with Saunders turning down a fight with tough and experienced warrior Gabriel Rosado, it seems unlikely the southpaw will be making his U.S debut next month.

And Rosado, who says he signed a contract to fight Saunders “a week ago,” has … Read Article

Billy Joe Saunders launches scathing attack on Canelo Alvarez, calls him a “coward” he would “school”

James Slater - May 22, 2016

WBO middleweight ruler Billy Joe Saunders has launched a scathing attack on Mexican star Saul Canelo Alvarez. As fans know, Alvarez recently vacated his WBC middleweight title rather than agree to fight Gennady Golovkin (at least he hasn’t agreed to face GGG yet). This has angered many fight fans, Mexican fight fans in particular of course, and Saunders, in speaking with boxingnews24, said Canelo should be ashamed of himself.… Read Article
