    No, but he has to start over now and be realistic about where he is.

    He has three powerful headwinds against him:

    1) Whether you agree with the decision to opt out or not, the way he did it looked awful. Have the trainer end it between rounds, do it off of a good right hand, or, at least go down when the jab hits you. The delayed reaction looked bad.

    2) The hype around him proved entirely inappropriate, and people are going to remember that when it comes time to pay to see him.

    3) The comments about Joyce's mother being blind are being discussed all over the internet, and, in addition to his other problems, he is getting the reputation as an ******* who got what he deserved in a rare case of poetic justice.

    I've seen promissing careers going hell even earlier.

    But, no, I dont think dubois career is over. It makes no sense.

    Mayweather did a lot of damage to the sport with his freaking zero.

    Is it not possible to learn from a loss? Most people thought this was a 50/50 fight, not even an upset

    Technically No, but he needs to really fill in some gaps in his fighting style. You would think this would be possible, but, unfortunately, very few boxers manage to change their styles much. So, perhaps it is?

    Pretty much in the sense of he's not what he was hyped to be. He has no chance at world level that's for definite.

    He can stay around British and maybe European level. But I can't see him having a long career. He just doesn't have it. He's a quitter who was massively overrated.

    It's possible, but because I'm hearing his orbital bone was broken. What is with these orbital injuries now.

    A loss can also make a fighter,Tyzu vs Phillips, learn from your shortcomings and work on improvement

    He isn’t at all finished as he is very young.

    He will now drop down in levels and face knock overs for 2 years to build back his confidence
