    Yes but it’s the question on whether or not it was acceptable. I completely understand why he quit, but at that age with the amount of desire you should have to win, it doesn’t look great. I think it proved that he will never reach the top because he looked like he wanted to quit for half of the fight.

    Acceptable to who? No one elses opinion on acceptability means fuck all.

    Dubios thought it was acceptable and that’s all the matters.

    I do believe he shouldn’t continue boxing, unless it’s purely for paydays.

    Fans opinion for sure matter because that’s how he gets his paycheck. If everyone just views him as a quitter that is overrated then he loses a lot of future money.

    With that said, he made his decision to quit which is up to him. My point was that long before he quit, he looked like he wanted to quit. It’s not like Brook where he was completely game but eventually quit because of his eye socket. Dubois seemed to want an out for a while.

    I kinda agree with you. My issue is people talking so much about the quit, guy couldn’t see. He did look shaken after blowing his wad in the first 3 rounds and he was scared.

    But he needs to be real with himself now about going forward.

    Viktor Faust Vykhryst fought friday night in his 5th fight and he looked like he would have beaten both of them comfortably.

    The class difference between Faust and Dubios is so vast.

    Viktor Vykhryst was very comfortable when he fought Joyce in the WSB, Had a nice little lie down

    It's pretty evident he quit, but as said it was for the right reasons. His face was reddening after round 1 and his eye was a mess. It was a pretty solid jab that landed right on that swelling knocking it back into his face, it's easy to see how that could cause some serious damage and pain in and around the eye.

    Wouldn't write off Dubois just yet, I was pretty high on him, but I think we can bring down his hype a few levels now and see how he rebounds.

    Thats why I said ahead of Dubois lol.

    He would have beaten JJ on Saturday though.

    daniel quit
    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    Thats a bit harsh mate

    i won good money on that fight, they were throwing him under a bus

    I really cant believe he was favourite

    That said he lost to a vastly more experienced fighter, hes a complete novice in comparison and has loads of opportunity to improve

    no need to throw in the towel yet

    Article on the BBC today suggests he's still waiting on being given the all clear yet.
    Sounds to me like there's some real potential concern over the eye. How long does it really take to assess the damage?
