The injury was like if an average man had swung a baseball bat in his face. The cheek bone all crushed in.
Think what another of those shots to that region would have done; he would have lost the eye - if he was lucky!
Definitely the right call with such a bad injury.
The problem with the Dubois quit was that it looked weird from the spectators POV because he seemed ok then suddenly knelt. With Bill you saw the cheek bone popped in straight away, and he still fought for the rest of the round!
I expect his career is over now.
