Does this lost make Dubois look better or worse?

It's toxic.

What possible motivation is there to take tough fights when so-called fans will bestow greatness on fighters before they're even proven?

Fair play to Dubois for taking the Usyk fight even though he's not remotely qualified - it's no wonder fighters like Wilder can happily build a career taking fights with bums and/or washed up guys.

 

Then please don’t use it.

 

Usyk has chosen the biggest bum available for the ukrainian propaganda show . It backfired cause he was on the canvas against even him for minutes

You understand why he avoided wilder ?

 

Well said, and I'm in total agreement with you.

 

Worse

Dubois basically got dominated for 9 rounds , threw some low blows and quit.

 

I don't often get on guys when they quit based on a pretty bad injury (like a smashed eye socket), but this time it looked to me like he just gave up out of being discouraged. Kind of like Ryan Garcia. I suspect he could have gotten up.

So worse.

 

He couldn't stand up to a Cruiserweight jab.

A jab...

Paper machay is sturdier than that chin

 

I don’t understand the plaudits Dubois has received for his “performance”. Commenters/pundits are talking about how his stock has gone up and he had the right game plan.
In reality, he lost every round and decided to quit when the heat turned up.
Victor Ortiz was criticised heavily for being a quitter after losing to Maidana. At least Ortiz actually went out in that fight, swinging and taking punishment from a decent brawler.
Commentators on broadcast also mention go on to say that Dubois still has a good future and the possibility of becoming a heavyweight champion. Yeah I guess that happened with Bruno, but Dubois seems more similar to a David Price if you ask me.
