Dubois is a quitter, that cant be changed. He was never dragged out of his comfort zone until tonight and he couldn't hack it.  Similar to Joshua, with doubts still remaining over whether he is the same fighter as he was before losing to Ruiz. 

The scorecards were actually shocking.  I had Joyce ahead yet won of the judges had Dubois winning most rounds.

Roberto Durán says hi.

Dubois ain't no Roberto Durán though.

There really wasn't much in it but Dubois had more power punches.

Yes Joyce jabbed the head off him and he caught the eye flush and kept picking it off but he wasn't dominating  the whole fight I could see how Dubois was ahead.

Apparently he's got a broken eye socket and some nerve damage. Worrying the way he left the fight but he has time to rectify it and come back.

Exactly, there wasn't much in it hence why that one scorecard is shocking, no way that Dubois won most of the rounds.  As for Dubois going forward, the one thing that is hard to change is your ability to keep going when its getting tough.  He had it all his own way so far and was never hurt etc, but come his first experience with being hurt he quits on his knee.  Once a quitter always a quitter.  His aura wont be the same either, opponents will be sencouraged as they know that he can be broke.

This simply isn't true. Durán. Vitali Klitschko. Erik Morales. Miguel Cotto. All of them came back after fight in which they quit.

Anyone sitting on the sidelines giving a guy with a fractured eye socket grief for not wanting to fight on needs to have a word with themselves.

100% agree, look at Kell Brook - both his eye sockets fractured and has effectively ended his career.

He's a quitter. End of.
Should be doing dancing or something, boxing isnt for him.

[Seaney]

Wouldn't normally but ponied up 25 quid for fight tonight, hopefully its entertaining.

[Boycey]

People still pay for stuff like this 

[ONeill]

Somebody has to.

[nrico2006]

Looking forward to it. Be interesting to see if Joshua is the same fighter he was before the defeat.

[Boycey]

Somebody has to.

Is right in fairness 

I'll qualify it by saying I'm astonished that people who frequent somewhere like this is still paying!!

[general]

Cause there is so much more on offer currently.

[nrico2006]

Pulev could win, but you would expect Joshua to win if he can show he is the old AJ. Also, Pulev isn't a big puncher and it will be interesting to see if Pulev can take AJs power.
