Dubois isn’t a guy always in the media. Since he was ill and there was no fight anymore of course he’d go home. You’re just talking rubbish due to your hatred of Dubois.
Yeah, it was ridiculous how that got quickly brushed under the carpet. Dubois was hitting Lerena after the bell, and the referee instead of warning Dubois, waved it off in Dubois' favour with the round ended and Lerena still on his feet. Mix in the first round ending early after the third KD. It was definitely all very fishy. Even the always upstanding Bob Arum looked shocked at how in your face the corruption was that day. Has he done a show with Warren after that?
Okay, Mr. White Knight. He was the IBF champion. Media is expected. You are clearly his #1 fan, and have your blinkers on, so I will leave you to it
I’m being honest about the situation. Oh and by the way Dubois will be undisputed champion July 19th just a heads up for you.
AFAIK the 3 knockdown rule was supposed to be in effect as well. Frankly I'm surprised one of the judges didn't leap over the ropes and have a go at Lerena with a metal chair.
In what world is Joe Parker a stay busy fight? Any HW who thinks that and takes him lightly is in for a really rough night.
So, you agree he robbed somebody. I think Lerena agrees too. Dubois should have been DQd for hitting after the bell; instead gets a KO win.
A stay busy fight doesn’t have to be a pudding. Remain active / stay busy whatever you want to call it Dubois wanted to continue his roll rather than just wait until Usyk is ready. Dubois would have pulverised Parker. The tide has turned for him now and he’s well and truly arrived on the world stage. He’s not losing anytime soon.
Dubois doesn't owe Parker a fight unless he beats Usyk and this is coming from a Parker fan. Dubois and team did act shady though and muck everyone around. And he paid for it to a certain extent in the court of public opinion, prior to his no show against Parker everyone was high on Dubois and loved him, afterwards he has way less fans and even some British people are wanting Usyk to beat him. If Dubois loses to Usyk he will be in a pretty bad position reputation wise and without a belt (though his bank account will be fatter), he'd probably be lucky to get a bout with Parker at that point. If he wins though, all is forgiven and he will be top of the world and then he will have to fight Parker or drop the WBO.
Winner of Usyk-Dubois (Usyk) should give Parker a shot. Apparently, there is no money in him because he isn't British, which really sucks.
