Speaking on BT Sport, Carl Frampton said: "I think that we all like Dubois, he's a likeable guy. But if it's someone we didn't like we'd say he's a quitter. And I think he quit there. I have to be brutally honest, let's call a spade a spade, he took a knee from a shot in the eye. His eye was a mess, his eye was closed but I get dragged out of the ring. I wouldn't take a knee and get pulled out." Matthew Macklin on Twitter: "Well done to Joe Joyce, just walked through anything Dubois hit him with. There’s no nice way to say this but Dubois quit. Got hit with a clean jab on a damaged eye and sat it out. He’s young but if you’ve got the quit in you then it’s always gonna be a doubt over him."
