Comments Thread For: Daniel Dubois Suffered Double Fracture To Eye Socket

[Donnie Herrera]

Joyce is slow as the seasons and didn’t appear to be able to land power punches but his jab is a piston. I’m going to break with the masses here and go ahead and say that Dubois is probably done as a contender. That’s a hell of a collection of injuries to one general area

No you're not only one...I immediately thought that he should retire!!!...Joe Joyce ruined him already before he could even start!!!...smh...














Knew Joe would win though...he's slept on crazy!!!...

Yeah but theres at least 50 posters here who scoff at eye socket fractures,and if they was good at boxing you wouldnt catch them quitting ..

LOL everyone is Evel fooking Knievel on the internet.

I got no reason not to believe what these medical folks are saying. And it seemed obvious he had some sort of eye issue so I won't assume Frankie is pulling this outta his ass like others seem to be.

Get well soon to DDD & good luck to Joe in bigger & better future endeavors.

How serious an injury do you have to have before it doesn't count as 'quitting because he was in pain'?

Kind of feels like if he was lying in a coma someone on here would claim he was just being lazy.

Quiting was the right decision! Dubois is very young and has to learn to move his head to attack and counter attack. He just can not avoid the good slow motion jab combinations by Joyce. Really needs to consentrate on defense in order to progress in his career.

Not surprised to hear this. He made the right call, no matter how much stick he gets for it.

Rubbish where are the X-rays he could of carried on but chose to quit Dubois is a a bully who can dish it out but can’t take it.

Good point. Just hoping he can still have a good career

[Kezzer]

You completely dismiss the fact and brush aside that it was more than just pain. A medical doctor just stated had he continued his career was finished and still may be depending on how he recovers. Given the extent of the trauma yes he was in more than just pain.

He still quit, I’m not dismissing what a doctor said 5 days after the event at all. He quit the fight, anyone and everyone knows that.

Whether it’s acceptable to quit, or at what point - is a different question.

Peoples pain barriers are different and I don’t question I personally may have done the same? Would other fighters - Froch, Bellew, Badou Jack, David Haye , whoever - have quit? Well that’s down to the individual.

Personally I think his corner should’ve pulled him out around that point, probably the end of the previous round. I had Joyce well ahead at that point, at best it was close but Joyce was landing jabs constantly and was getting more and more on top.

Imagine if Joyce had landed right hands!!! Shows you how big these guys are and how tough Dubois is, the pain must have been unbearable but he still continued getting touched on the eye. No way he goes another 9 minutes of that from JJ.

Dubois fought skillfully, and gallantly, until his eye became a serious issue. Some subscribers to this boxing platform disparage fighters unnecessarily. They act like they would continue a fight even if it left them with a permanent injury, or cost them their life. I've lived long enough to have seen people talk a good fight, but when challenged walk away, or quit after a weak effort. So you can't give their tough talk any credibility. Actions usually speak louder than words, the only time words speak louder is in a court of law. Which in some cases their thoughtless words, and possible actions bring them before a judge to explain themselves. Dubois is no coward, he knew there was something terribly wrong with his eye, and he did what he had to do in order to avoid losing it.

That's why I won't be quick to jump all over any fighter who knows when it's time to pull himself out. They know what's happening in there, and what risk they're taking.

I remember reading a Brook interview and him saying he had to keep lifting his eye with his glove as it was dropping down, and that he could feel the air going in and around the eye every time he took a breath.

Imagine all that going, plus the pain, plus a guy throwing punches at you none stop. In hindsight, I bet guys like Margarito wish they got themselves out of there and gave their eye more protection.

Exactly lol .Dubois pulling out with the injury wasnt unreasonable or unsightly. The way Warren didn't give Joe any credit,that was a bad look however. I've always said Joyce was underrated as a fighter ,and underappreciated as a personality as well.
