This right uppercut led to Saunders being unable to continue after returning to his stool
Billy Joe Saunders says surgery "went well" as he confirmed he broke his eye socket and cheekbone in three places in Saturday's loss to Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.
Britain's Saunders was unable to continue after he was hit with an uppercut in the eighth round of their world title unification bout in Dallas.
Saunders' trainer called the bout off, with his fighter unable to see.
"Operation yesterday all went well," the 31-year-old said on Facebook.
