What Did Dubois had to Gain from Continuing the Fight?

[ShaneMosleySr]

Why is everyone pretending like it was impossible for Dubois to win?

He was ahead on the cards!

There were two rounds left!

If he had continued, he could have been next in line for a mandatory, after Usyk, at age 23.

What did he have to gain?

Uh, everything?

He quits, he gets to keep his vision, get experience, grow into his man body and fight another day. He continues, runs the risk of losing vision, and he doesn't get more respect. No one cares about injuries when someone loses and the armchairs won't give you extra points. Why should he puts himself at risk? For the garbage boxing base?

Was his vision at risk or did he just have swollen eye with no risk to his vision? Not every swollen eye puts the boxer's eye site at risk. If his eye was in danger then the ringside doctor should have stopped the fight. He made his choice and maybe it was the right choice. Nobody else is in his shoes. It is easier to call a guy a quitter when it is him taking the pain and the risk of serious injury and not themselves.

Dubois is huge. He does not need to grow into his man's body because he is already there.

Don't know why some here are comparing individuals injuries like they are all the same. It is on a case by case basis. Losing by a legit injury is no different than getting KOed.

Why is it that when guys who claim of a devastating KO finish always end up losing in an embarrassing fashion? David lemieux says that he will send billy joe saunders to the hospital and ended up getting outclassed and humiliated, wilder promised a brutal KO on fury and ended up getting TKO'ed. I would usually feel pity, but after seeing the things that dubois has said and his arrogance, he deserves the criticism. Don't get me wrong, it's a serious injury and he has the right to quit, but if you can't back up what you said that you will do, then don't get mad when people rub it in.

Fighters don't see the cards. I'm pretty sure he knew better than you how far his body could take him.

A win over a top dog

No. More like a devastating KO with a possibly life altering injury.

Scared of does not equate to definitely would have. He could have, you know, protected his eye and won.

The classic definition of risk. And, if he knew how to protect his eye, things wouldn't have reached that point.

How many fighters do you know reached their physical peak by the age of 23?

There were millions on the line here, had Dubois won that fight he’d be mandatory for the WBO which essentially means Usyk or AJ. He’d have easily banked 7 figures in his next few fights had he won.

Even so what did Jamie Humble have to gain against Chris Wood? He actually had a bleed on the brain yet fought on for the full 10 rounds. G-Man had everything to gain with essentially the same injury and quit.

As a human being, I completely understand why they would quit, 99% of human beings would, I would, you would and that’s why we’re not fighters. It doesn’t make you any less of a man but it does make you less of a fighter. As 99% of fighters wouldn’t quit.

Some have fighters have it in them and some don’t. Dubois doesn’t have it in him. Can still have a good career but as history tells us, when things get tough he’ll likely crumble again.

Gerald McClellan was paralyzed after that fight. What a dumb fu.cking comment lol. Complete clowns on this site. Post your picture

I think you're cherrypicking a bit, but yeah, best not to poke the bear. Karma is real
