Comments Thread For: Daniel Dubois Will Be Out For Five Months Due To Eye Injury

[Jkp]

One thing that gets overlooked is Dubois would have been easily winning the fight on cards.
And had he lasted 2 more rounds, like somebody mentioned here...he would have come out the winner
and his career prospects looking up and moving forward.

Even switching up a a stance or moving around to get that eye out of Joyce's jab would have
done the job. Dubois was pressing and landing the more eye-catching punches.

The judges would have favoured him...

Your as biased as the commentators, and frank warren.

Was a very even fight.

That eye damage didnt just happen by magic, it was from joyce landing repetitive clean jabs. (which none of the commentary team noticed.)

Had Dubois gone another 2 rounds Joyce probably would have KO'd him.

That dude is an idiot who most likely never fought before.

Its pathetic. I doubt he even paid for the fight but he wants someone's son to get disabled because you an obsessed fan sitting under the basement.

True.
At that point he wasn't seeing clearly.
His corner should have been very observant and pro active.

When shlt talking goes wrong
Seems like Joyce ruined his career


Whyte could sympathize

People saying he's bad for quitting are a bunch of ****ing idiots. You wouldn't last a second in a boxing ring

Dubois was the one receiving the...eye catching shots. Hehehehe.


Anyway..

Then he suffers even more permanent damage. If he couldnt dodge them with two eyes, how was he going to with one? Joyce wasn’t going to stop targeting it.

But say he continues. And then what? You get to ride off into the sunset with a Joyce win, and maybe partial blindness? Not multi millions in a world title fight and your name in the books. This win wasnt getting him a title shot. So it’s not worth the risk. You suffer some eye damage as the world champ, and make the call to come back like - you know what? Last fight, I’ll play it mostly safe and if it gets hurt again thats okay, it wont be taking more damage after this.

I sort of agree with what you're saying, but it's boxing.

I watched old footage of Ray Robinson, Tony Canzoneri, Tony Zale, LaMotta, Gene Fullmer

And I know maybe it's not fair to compare to now...but these guys took a hell of a lot of punishment
and fought like 100+ fights over the career easily...
