The video shows Billy in a barn where he is working on his punching. However, rather than just work out he decided to hand all his Followers some free and unwanted advice. He said if any women are talking a bit too much it is tough to be patient after 6 or 7 days and after a while, one is sure to explode. Saunders gave followers a practical demonstration of what needs to be done if, “your old woman is giving you mouth, if she’s coming at you, spitting a bit of venom in your face.”

Following this, the middleweight took a calculated swing at the bag. He then called that just the first shot, “on the chin to have her in a state of horror before moving forward and unleashing a second shot. This requires one to crouch slightly and land another punch too, “finish it off.” “That should do the trick,” says Saunders.

He faced a lot of flak for a recent video he posted. The social media backlash was severe forcing the WBO Super Middleweight Champion to apologize.  He said, “I have a daughter and if a man laid a finger on her it would be end well.” 

In his apology, he used the words, “offended any women.” This indicates that Saunders was trying to make a little joke. However such videos even if intended to be crude humor have the potential to give rise to domestic violence.

Saunders was scheduled to take on Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in May. That bout is one of the innumerable sporting events that has been postponed due to the pandemic. Saunders feels frustrated and could have used the video to work off some steam. One wishes he too posted training videos akin to other combat sports athletes.
