This line of thinking will lead brave fighters who go out on their shield to be condemned for setting a bad example. It's a ****** way to think about what is essentially a blood sport. You want them to try to physically destroy each other but, oh, you want them to always leave the ring safely too? Too many conflicting criteria makes peoples logic go all wacky.
Fighters dont go out on their shield.
They get carried out on stretchers, wheeled out on gurneys and can end up dribbling their life away in a wheelchair or on life support til a family member flicks a switch and its lights out for good...
But hey, bring a shield and have it in your corner to be carried out on instead.
The optics will look great but it wont make any difference to the paramedics, hospital staff and families...
The thing is, Joshua quit against Ruiz and he wasn't even injured unlike DDD/Brook
Joshua didn't quit, but he fought concussed, got up 4 times. Joshua told the referee in no uncertain terms he wanted to continue, no reason to think he wouldn't have continued if the referee hadn't stopped it.
Only a dork would compare a samurai to a boxer. Don’t samurai’s also stab themselves in the gut and commit suicide to avoid dishonor? Fighting on with a severe injury to avoid criticism from dorks on the internet would have been the most cowardly thing that he could’ve done. I commend Daniel Dubois for having enough inner strength to exercise common sense in a world where the opinions of irrational children are placed on a pedestal.
THIS GUY calls it "inner strength"....LOLOL....OMG my gut is hurting
Well he quit, so logic would dictate that he's a quitter.
I don't blame him though, losing an eye is no joke, and hopefully he can come again.
Saying he is a quitter because he quit to save his eye is akin to saying Ali and most other boxers are losers because they lost on occasion. I think the distinction is that of a mindset. A "loser" regularly loses and a "quitter" regularly quits
