Did Dubois quit???

[imp]

He quit 100%

But he isn’t good enough.

Joyce is a 35 year old prospect.

I think if he continues in boxing he is going to end up very badly hurt.

The blueprint to beat him is so basic as proven last night.

Flicking jab.

He can learn to adjust and come back stronger?

Jab ruined him.

Did Joyce even use his right hand?

Dubois did quit but he did it for the right reasons.

Brook did quit but he did it for the right reasons.

Khan just quit.

Yeah he quit. But it should never have come to that. The ref saw that eye closed for at least 6 rounds and not once did he take a look or get a doctor to take a look.
Ok , maybe DDD Should have just gone for it , shit or bust earlier, die on his sword , yadda, yadda. But he hasn’t got the experience or ring IQ to do that.
More importantly and this is the real scandal, that at 21 years old, he doesn’t have the stamina to go for an all out attack.
2 disgraces here, 1. The ref . & 2. DDD’s lack of Stamina.
But his quitting was not in that category.

It's not a fair question to ask in hindsight.

At the time of the fight, anyone who said that he quit were perfectly justified in saying so, because no-one, not even Dubois himself knew what the problem was.

In hindsight, he did the right thing, but it doesn't alter the fact that he did quit.

Hopefully he can recover fully & resume his career, because he seems really dedicated to the sport & comes across as a decent guy.

Looking at the comments on the BBC news thread about this .... loving all the criticism about 'quitting' from keyboard warriors who have never set foot in a boxing ring in their life
