DALLAS, TX – Billy Joe Saunders’ injury suffered in his loss against Canelo Alvarez on Saturday night was no joke.
Saunders suffered against Canelo what’s known as a quadripod fracture. Following the eighth round of their fight at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Saunders’ corner decided he could no longer continue. Saunders did not appear to be doing too badly in the fight even though all three judges had it scored in Alvarez’s favor.
But Saunders’ trainer stopped the fight because of the injuries suffered by his fighter.
Promoter Eddie Hearn said Sunday that Saunders was going to undergo surgery for multiple fractures on his orbital bone. The injury is known as a quadripod fracture.
