Nasty injury and could well be a career ending one, how anyone can call it a "no mas" incident when it was his trainer Mark Tibbs who pulled him out is laughable.

According to Mike Coppinger, Saunders (30-1, 14 KOs) will be having surgery on Sunday at the John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas.

He spoke to Saunder’s promoter Eddie Hearn today at the hospital, and he informed him that Billy Joe had suffered what’s known as a “quadruped fracture” of his right orbital bone in the 8th round against Canelo.

Surgery will be performed today with the hope of repairing the problem. It’s unknown if Saunders will ever fight again.

The injury occurred when Canelo (56-1-2, 38 KOs) caught Saunders with a right-hand uppercut to his right eye area while he was leaning forward in the eighth round in their unification clash at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
