Comments Thread For: Dubois: Maybe Saunders Will Regret What He Said About Me, It's a Life Lesson

[javelin_fangs]

He should regret what he said about Daniel DuBois and maybe if boxing reporters weren't so busy excusing Billy Joe Saunders' rude and callous behavior leading up to the point his eye socket caved in and instead took the time to be balanced in their reporting Billy Joe and his team would see that this should be a humbling experience for him. At the very least, he owes Daniel DuBois an apology.

Triple D about to win a version of the WBA title, good on him. Since he gave up his 0 to BIG JUGGERNAUT, hopefully, we get to see him mixing it in some proper learning fights against stiffer opposition.

Kudos to him for taking the high road. He could have been nasty but chose the gentleman response.

Daniel Dubois, I want you to know, you still a hoe.

1hour run I want u to know u always been a hoe

Yeah thats what Daniel dubois thought too after 4 rounds of a closed injured eye, but that didn't stop BJS from chatting BS, and when it happened to him he didn't even go out for a single round, he quit right away.

The difference is, it was a closed eye dubois fought for a few rounds after constant accurate jabs from joyce but the injury to it didn't happen til the tenth and shortly after he took a knee, my point wasn't that fighters shouldn't fight on with swelled up closed eyes cos that happens a lot in the street and in the ring, the point was that if you're face has just been caved in then there's no point carrying on to have nerve damage at the same time.. it's a given that most fighters won't quit with just a blackened and swollen eye, that truly would make them a ***** but this is very different my friend

If you fight with one eye then you are at a disadvantage, DDD fought with one eye for almost half of the fight, took the last punch on it and quit. BJS then went on video and called him a quitter and how HE would rather go out on his shield with both eye socket broke.

When it happened to him too in reality he quit too, he didn’t even spend a single round after he got injury, he slightly made his way out of the fight.

So I really don’t want to hear the “It’s different” excuses. They both quit, my only thing here is calling him out after his comments. He is the boxer not me, you should have respect for your fellow boxers, BJS had none..

I agree with u about about the respect thing, bjs was way outta line with his comments but plenty of fighters have fought on through a swollen shut eye, ebanie bridges just recently comes to mind and I also agree u are at a huge disadvantage if u can only see through one eye but it clearly is different if you're face is caved in, and go back to round 8 of the nelo saunders fight and see when he sustained the damage, he didn't quit instantly, infact he even tried and failed to fire back on more than one occasion

Fury is not that big outside the UK though

He clearly is. He's fighting Joshua in one of the biggest ever fights??

[Roberto Vasquez]

Maybe. But life is more than boxing.

Nothing at all wrong with taking the high road.

He's been on the other side of it and acted like a man about it.

It's true acting like a child is rewarded. It doesn't mean you should.

I'd normally agree with you but boxing already isn't a honorable sport. It's not like Dubois has fought the best fighters on his way to Joyce - and that's probably why he lost. If we had boxers fighting the best boxers - we wouldn't have all these ridiculous unbeaten records and the hype + money would be 50% less. Look at the best tennis players or any other individual sport - the best players have a ton of losses.

The ones who are remembered and missed fondly are the classy ones, in any sport or walk of life. We'll always remember the assholes, sure – and their achievements – but they won't ever be venerated as classy and honourable individuals. That's a real legacy, to be admired as a good human being who achieved things.

That's not true - look at what Ali said about Frazier - the worst stuff. He is the most fondly remembered boxer. The boxers who are remembered are the ones who fought and beat great fighters and even more - the ones who did that AND ran their mouth off.
