Comments Thread For: Daniel Dubois: Kevin Lerena Caught Me and I Felt Like My Knee Went

[Corelone]

It seems the hometown hero can bounce up and down like a yoyo, all night, but the import can't get a count. Taking a knee is like turning your back. That's worse than a KD especially twice. Worse than spitting out your mouth piece. "Our rules are different" they say. So I noticed.

What Dubois did is absolutely nothing like what Tyson Fury did lol. Deontay Wilder didn't stop throwing punches for absolutely no reason and let Fury tee off on him for 3 rounds to come back. Cunningham didn't just stop throwing punches, Fury had to overwhelm him and maul him. That guy literally just followed Dubois around letting him punch him, I've never seen anyone just stop throwing punches for no reason like that.

Lerena stopped throwing punches, because of Dubois 'It was not just for no reason'.

Dubois fought back, and won the fight.

Where is the Lerena interview? The man gave a good effort, but he and his team seemed not to complain about the stoppage.

The point I am making is that Fury who is apparently the gold standard for Durability 'Has been ****** about and decked many times in his career'.

And he is still getting decked now, when he actually fights at world level.

The fact that Dboi wasn't as hurt as Lerena only makes it worse. Slaughterhouse needed help with the lamb.

Dubois got dropped & took a knee twice & was allowed to continue. Lerena got dropped once but was hit slightly after the bell & was on his feet. Why was he not given the minute in between rounds to possibly recover. Once again a british ref doesn’t give the visiting fighter the same opportunity as the home fighter. Sure it may have ended in the next round but O’Connor never gave him the chance. Dubois looks like a KO waiting to happen. Not sure what to think of Lerena but he let Dubois off the hook. Dubois has now taken a voluntary knee 3 times. The orbital bone I understand but moving forward is he going to take s knee every time he is hurt? Under the 3 KD rule he would have lost via quitting. It’s not a great look no matter how anyone twists it. When the going gets tough he takes a knee…

Dubois is an interesting guy, seems to show that he looks for ways out when things get a little tough/he gets touched with something of consequence, guess as they say once a quitter always a quitter...

Lerena must be really kicking himself for letting a golden opportunity go like that UNLESS someone came to his corner between rounds and said something to convince him to let him off the hook.

I was watching BKFC at time as Chocolatito vs Estrada and a guys knee went and he kept getting up over and over again and wasn't eager to "quit", the ref had to stop it but this guy came into the fight with a knee brace...

I agree completely… Seems like when he gets hurt he takes a knee. The orbital bone against Joyce i give him a mulligan but twice in the 1st round by a cherry picked opponent? Looks like he doesn’t take a good punch well…

When was Fury ever deemed the gold standard for durability, he's known for his ability to RECOVER/RESILIENCE not his ability to take a good shot... how you conflate the two i'll never know.

Not according to me is he the gold standard. It is not clear who is the gold standard.

I was mainly referring to how he hardcore fans speak of him.

Durability is not just about being able to take a punch, it is also about recovering. So Tyson Fury is a durable fighter.

Nobody knows how Joe Joyce will react when he gets hurt? Sometimes fighters can withstand a certain power threshold, but once that threshold is breached 'That is it'.

We know that if Fury's power threshold is breached, he can still fight through that sort of danger. So for me is a durable fighter, one of the most durable in the Heavyweight division etc.

I have always describe Fury as a knock out waiting to happen, he always looks to me a a moment away from calamity.

Dubois showed durability vs Lerena. Another element of durability.

All I know is he has to stop being a body builder and be a boxer. Slow ass dude.

To me, taking a knee when you haven't been hit is cheating. It is buying time. When he did it the second time, if I'd been ref I would've deducted a point.

Dubois has some ability but he needs to completely rethink. Sack all his training team & get a complete new team & basically start from the bottom up. He is only in early 20s so he has plenty of time.
