@Guyonhere1

You said : ‘The only reason he said that was because BJS beat him.’

That’s a pretty nasty accusation.

Guyonhere1 · 02/04/2020 19:05

Gervonta Davis is a boxer who was arrested for assault on his girlfriend. He wasn’t stripped. Obviously, BJS should be banned and stripped, but none of this will happen.

SharonasCorona · 02/04/2020 19:06

Also @Guyonhere1 it’s sad that you think a man will only say those for personal gain rather than than he was genuinely disgusted by BJS. Is that your view of all men or just male boxers?

Guyonhere1 · 02/04/2020 19:10

@sharonascorona just from what I know of him

BeetrootRocks · 02/04/2020 19:16

You have a very low opinion of men don't you guy.

I also want to know why you have accused Chris eubank like that.

JackiFazaki · 02/04/2020 19:17

What's this person's "motive" then? @Guyonhere1

Mauricio Sulaiman, president of WBC during a group panel on Tuesday.

“Unbelievable. I read his apology. People who know him, say he is always joking and clowning around. There is not a "bad" time for something like that. It’s not that we’re going through this (coronavirus pandemic).
There is zero tolerance for abuse of any kind to a woman. To go out and try to make a joke, there is no (place) for it. To go out and do it, make a two-minute video—it’s premeditated.”

Puzzledandpissedoff · 02/04/2020 19:22

Billy doesn’t understand he’s in the public eye and that hundreds of thousands follow him

Errr - he's a professional boxer, for whom publicity is part and parcel of the whole thing
How is it possible he wouldn't understand that he's in the public eye?

BeetrootRocks · 02/04/2020 19:23

Lol at guy

Guy: obviously a joke!

Noodlenosefraggle · 02/04/2020 23:54

Chris Eubank Jr is probably the same as BJS. The only reason he said that was because BJS beat him. I wouldn’t be surprised if Eubank and BJS share the same views
So basically boxing is full of moronic knuckle heads who havent channelled their violence into sport in any way. They are just thugs who get paid to he thugs and are supported by morons who not only condone but approve of violence against women. Why do you love this sport do much again @Guyonhere1?

DamnYouAutoCarrot · 03/04/2020 09:11

Hold up.. I 'know' boxing too. Eubank Jr doesn't have that kind of reputation at all. Let's not give all of boxing a bad name over the actions of a few now!

SharonasCorona · 03/04/2020 09:18

I do wonder if Ewbank Jnr is being thrown to the wolves because he isn’t of the traveller community Hmm

Puzzledandpissedoff · 03/04/2020 09:22

Bingo ...

Brefugee · 04/04/2020 16:24

the fact he posted this video to so many people who don’t know was wrong. These people don’t understand his demeanour.

Ah, @Guyonhere1 the problem here is that so many people saw it?

It sounds like you're part of the problem, mate. Men who don't call out this behaviour are encouraging it. And idiots like Saunders don't listen to women. So pull your head out of your backside and stand up and do the right thing: call him and every man like him out every time they say stuff like this. Or, as i said: you're part of the problem.

But from your posts you are firmly in the problem camp.

Guyonhere1 · 04/04/2020 17:35

@Brefugee I would stand up to any form of domestic violence - it’s wrong.

This is a tweet from a domestic abuser sufferer:

I have suffered domestic abuse and understand people’s anger……. but I also know there was no malice in your video…… it should be taken for what it was ….. a joke. love to you and yours 🥰🥰🥊🥊 xx

I’m normally defending people but this is awful

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 04/04/2020 18:32
Confused

You’re normally defending people? All people? Why?

Guyonhere1 · 04/04/2020 18:56

@ManchesterChidless Same, I like to see the good in people, so I feel inclined to defend everybody.

ocarinan · 04/04/2020 19:52

There is no good in him.

Guyonhere1 · 04/04/2020 20:22

The media don’t report the good things he’s done for the community though

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 04/04/2020 20:25

The media didn’t report this either. He publicised it himself.

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 04/04/2020 20:26

What good things BTW? Does he fund a women’s refuge?

user1471565182 · 04/04/2020 20:28

Schrodinger's douchery, the young men these days are experts at it

ocarinan · 04/04/2020 20:28

Yes, he very kindly offered a drug addict employment a couple of years. £150 just to punch someone, how generous.

Brefugee · 04/04/2020 20:44

no @Guyonhere1 you're defending the indefensible.

The fact that some DV victims come out with that utter tosh doesn't mean it's ok.

I, frankly, don't believe you would stand up to this guy or anyone else saying such outrageous things and make it very clear it's unacceptable. Nothing you have said here gives any indication you would.

Notredamn · 04/04/2020 20:54

Standards are so, so low for some people Sad
