Rumors that Daniel Dubois got busted up and quit in sparring?

[Just looking]

Not surprising. I ever thought he is overhyped

[Vinnykin]

If it's true it shows a lack of fight needed at the top level.

It's fine being beaten up in sparring during a hard camp, lots of fighters do that to learn to survive i.e go into a ring with no energy against a fresh sparring fighter or fighters rotating in and out..... you need to experience the deep end before it happens in the ring at least.

Quitting is a no-no, fighters should fight until they can't fight any more.

Frank Warren is highly educated , clearly that poster lacks an education !

You would be shocked what the internet or these forums does to a highly educated people. You already have people using "Doe" as though in texts due to boxingscene.

Don't know if it's true or if it even matters, but it's a bit of poetic justice that a fighter who made his name off sparring stories is now on the wrong end of one himself

Not really. Nigel Benn only ever used sparring to tune up his skills and didn’t like to go to war. But look at how he fought in the ring.

It’s just different attitudes really. It’s like when people make a big thing of being dropped by body shots in sparring, as if you need to put your body through the same stress when working on skills as you would under the bright lights

Did Nigel Benn ever quit in sparring? If that's how he trained then that's how he trained, but he didn't train like that his whole career, I've seen the videos... he also fought bravely and proved himself.

You have to admit, quitting in sparring is NEVER good, and I'm talking about those hard spars that most fighters go through to get prep, or when they are young, you test them.

I'm sure Benn had those when he was learning and coming up, in fact I know he did.... I don't think you will find many good boxers who just worked on a few things their whole careers and weren't tested at some point before stepping up.

If Boxnationfan really is Warren, I'm now in fear for my life I can probably never step foot in England or Fish Eyes' goons will roll up on me and break my kneecaps

[King Arthur]

Bunce's high pitched piping tones when he speaks is sweet nectar to the ears of BoxNationFan.

He extracts audio from Box Nation cards from 2011 and listens to it in headphones all day and night. His favourite being the Liam Walsh v Paul Appleby card.

Hahahaha you funny bastard.

[Prince Madison]

yeah i can confirm its true. bakole was getting the better of him so he cut the session short, more out of frustration than a bad beating.

[MDPopescu]

I have it on 100% authority that @DynamiteDubois quit in sparring against @MartinBakole17 last week. Bakole is one to watch ! @BillyNelsonBox

Anyone got any details? If true it's not a good look.

I try to make some sense...

... Tomorrow, both Dubois and Bakole Ilunga have fights (in London and Glasgow, respectively)... Now: who was sparring who?...
