What Did Dubois had to Gain from Continuing the Fight?

Funny that people are using the tired talking point that if we were to be fighters, we would fold faster than him. This is not about us. This is about dubois quitting. As a fan who pays $$$ for boxing matches, we also have the right to criticise and be truthful of what we see. Why should we lie and tell what fighters want to hear? The dude quit, point blank.

I feel the same. Fighter should not be put in position like that. I have always felt like fighters have corners to take care about that. Yup, the corner should of stopped the fight. They should not leave it up to the fighter.

Of course we all would have quit! I wouldn’t fight Joe Joyce for $500,000 dollars. I’m not the supposed future heavyweight champion of the world. Daniel Dubois was. He quit and he showed why he will never be the real heavyweight champion of the world. Not if he can't protect his eyes he won't. Never was going to. Look at Margarito, and Brook. A lot of times once that eye goes, you are done.

Don’t criticize Adolph Hitler. You’ve never been a world leader before, so how dare you question him? Terrible reading comprehension 'Shane' and even worse analogy. It makes 0 sense. I'm not saying that you have to be a fighter to judge Dubois - what I'm saying is that all you keyboard gangstas would fold faster than he did if faced with a similar situation. 95%+ fighters would have taken a knee at that time, or before that time, or slightly after that time. The other 5% or so would have been cutting off their nose to spite their face. When your body is telling you to stop, you stop!!!! Otherwise you end up like McClellan or Dadashev!!!!

Everything.

A win over a top dog Scared of does not equate to definitely would have. He could have, you know, protected his eye and won. Could have, sure. Did not have the defensive skill to do so, tho.

He quits, he gets to keep his vision, get experience, grow into his man body and fight another day. He continues, runs the risk of losing vision, and he doesn't get more respect. No one cares about injuries when someone loses and the armchairs won't give you extra points. Why should he puts himself at risk? For the garbage boxing base? Was his vision at risk or did he just have swollen eye with no risk to his vision? Not every swollen eye puts the boxer's eye site at risk. If his eye was in danger then the ringside doctor should have stopped the fight. He made his choice and maybe it was the right choice. Nobody else is in his shoes. It is easier to call a guy a quitter when it is him taking the pain and the risk of serious injury and not themselves.

Just listened to the audio from the corners. They were telling Daniel he had 3 more rounds to go and he would win. Whatever he was feeling in there must have been pretty damn bad because they believed he was going to be victorious.

This is just like when Chavez Jr lost to Jacobs in EXACTLY the same way and everyone came out scrambling to defend him. Oh wait...

All these people saying he should have fought on have NEVER been in a fight before, I bet at least 9 out of 10 of them haven't. And I mean a real fight where you have an issue and need to bow out. All of you guys are saying that you would let a guy your size punch you in the eye for another 2 rounds, when you are having serious issues with it. You obviously have no idea how each punch feels when it comes in from a good puncher your size on that eye. 90% of the guys slighting him for quitting, would quit. The other 10% might not, but they would realize how stupid they were afterwards when they see all the damage to their eye.

Why is it that when guys who claim of a devastating KO finish always end up losing in an embarrassing fashion? David lemieux says that he will send billy joe saunders to the hospital and ended up getting outclassed and humiliated, wilder promised a brutal KO on fury and ended up getting TKO'ed. I would usually feel pity, but after seeing the things that dubois has said and his arrogance, he deserves the criticism. Don't get me wrong, it's a serious injury and he has the right to quit, but if you can't back up what you said that you will do, then don't get mad when people rub it in. I think you're cherrypicking a bit, but yeah, best not to poke the bear. Karma is real

There were millions on the line here, had Dubois won that fight he’d be mandatory for the WBO which essentially means Usyk or AJ. He’d have easily banked 7 figures in his next few fights had he won. Even so what did Jamie Humble have to gain against Chris Wood? He actually had a bleed on the brain yet fought on for the full 10 rounds. G-Man had everything to gain with essentially the same injury and quit. As a human being, I completely understand why they would quit, 99% of human beings would, I would, you would and that’s why we’re not fighters. It doesn’t make you any less of a man but it does make you less of a fighter. As 99% of fighters wouldn’t quit. Some have fighters have it in them and some don’t. Dubois doesn’t have it in him. Can still have a good career but as history tells us, when things get tough he’ll likely crumble again. Gerald McClellan was paralyzed after that fight. What a dumb fu.cking comment lol. Complete clowns on this site. Post your picture

Dubois is huge. He does not need to grow into his man's body because he is already there. How many fighters do you know reached their physical peak by the age of 23?

A win over a top dog No. More like a devastating KO with a possibly life altering injury. Scared of does not equate to definitely would have. He could have, you know, protected his eye and won. The classic definition of risk. And, if he knew how to protect his eye, things wouldn't have reached that point.

Why is everyone pretending like it was impossible for Dubois to win? He was ahead on the cards! There were two rounds left! If he had continued, he could have been next in line for a mandatory, after Usyk, at age 23. What did he have to gain? Uh, everything? Fighters don't see the cards. I'm pretty sure he knew better than you how far his body could take him.

Don't know why some here are comparing individuals injuries like they are all the same. It is on a case by case basis. Losing by a legit injury is no different than getting KOed.
