Because Lerena wasn't supposed to hurt him, but did, got scared because he was about to lose his payday and backed off
Well the 1st round looked more like Dubois was just trying to recuperate, looking for reasons to take a knee. It wasn’t some great offensive display by Lerena. Even with that, it was pretty strange that he didn’t capitalize in the next round. Then he gets dropped and we get an early stoppage after the bell. Fix was in imo.
The Joyce fight was quite close for a while, until it wasn't. Joyce is pretty much an immovable object as we all know.
Another hype job talked up by the usual suspects. Hrgovic or Jalolov shuts his brain off for a 50 count
Dubois gets splattered by anyone in the top 10, except maybe Whyte if you consider him top 10. He is just plain not good. Journeyman level, which could still provide a nice living for him.
He would not get out mid rounds against Zhang or any durable guy with a punch which we saw vs Joyce. The fringe dude Lartey rocking him was no accident. I got Whyte by stoppage btw.
