Dubois' problem goes beyond quitting.

Dubois corner were trying to gee him up after every round, like they were trying to keep him in it. All mental and emotional support. Either he really needs that when the going isn't easy, or they didn't have the capability to offer technical advice.
Either way there are some big holes in the overall game of Dubois and corner. He looked a very young man between rounds. Joyce didn't so much as change his expression from walking in, until they interviewed him after the fight, and he finally smiled. There was no questioning his fight conditioning, he knows how hard the game is.

Honestly the fact is Dubois just isn't that good.
Frank Warren got jealous of AJ and wanted to create one of his own so he plucked Dubois out of nowhere, put the full force of Queensbury promotions behind him and sent him to the moon.
But in the end, Dubois just isn't that good, he's just a big strong guy with power and OK fundamentals, they aren't that rare to come by in boxing.
I was fairly sure Joyce would handle him all along although I did buy into a bit of the hype, but it's not like this or that went wrong for Dubois he just lost to a much better fighter. That's all this was.

I think some of us have mentioned it already. They definitely act like amateurs themselves, he should have been pulled out just before that round. He wasn’t seeing anything, he wasn’t moving his head neither through out the fight. They didn’t put a lot of confidence in him by panicking around the 5th round, telling him he is in a fight now. Am sure Warren would look at it like he did with Yarde and Tunde. They could have saved him from making him quit by himself, he was left alone and hanged out to dry.

Dubois still can be world champ clearly.
Let`s see his future opponents:
East Euros, like Sirenko, Dychko, Makhmudov: they fight bums only. We don`t know how good they are.
Hrgovic fights bums and old washed up Americans that were never any good.
Ajagba was dropped by Kiladze. Looks solid ad best against C - D level guys.
Yoka struggled badly with Hammer.
Let`s just dont act like Dubois is not good enough to beat those guys in the future.

On a funny side note this is a brutal blow against Warren in the Warren Hearn feud which he seems to take so much more seriously than the other side. Will be interesting to see what ******ity he does next. It was looking good for him he had a "stadium" fighter to fill football pitches in Warrington and the next Heavyweight champ in Dubois so was competing "well" but he has neither now, and without the Top Rank deal it would be really interesting.
