Should Dubois be praised for his performance?

Before anything else, this ain't another lowblow thread, it's mentioned in the video obviously, but the thread is not about whether it was or not. I hope that is clear for everyone.

The main points from the video :
Dubois is getting too much praise from here and there for literally doing nothing but land an illegal blow.
Why the UK media is praising and defending him, when the guy Quit.
Does Dubois for real suffer an broken orbital bone against Joyce. And i will add to that, does Dubois really suffer from the knee injury in the Lerena fight as well ?

He also says that technically and i full agree wtih him, this was the best Dubois we have ever seen. He was in phenomenal shape. Not bad footwork at all, fast, strong, powerful punches, very explosive.
But on the end of the day Dubois quit.


And i agree with a lot of the stuffs the guy above says, and i will add this:

Dubois did quit, when he realize he can't do anything to Usyk. He literally tries everything, but he was getting bathered.
He goes low, he goes to the body, he was head hunting, landed few hard punches, Usyk didn't blink at all.
Usyk was going through the gear and was uping the pace, and Dubois was having no answer and was clearly starting to gassing, both mentally and physically.

And when he see he don't have anything for Usyk, he took the easy way out, aka quitting.

Usyk beat the fight out of Dubois. This is the pure definition.

 

I usually have you on ignore, as don't want timeless discussion, but apart from the mental part, how you rate his technical performance?
Do you see improvements in him, compare to his previous fights? Do you see him as a future Champion, as he is so so young, and at very high level already.

Also i think a lot of that "heart" thing is probably cause he didn't face that type of adversity, and when you are not prepare mentally for that, and physically you are on the edge, you seems to give up.

Probably needs harder sparrings, that puts him on defense and to eat a few punches and learn how to deal with it, and continue to fight.
You are fighting how you train really. If you are not prepared for something, good luck to overcome it when the fights come.

 

What i mean is, look at the round 7-9 again. He literally tries to throw everything. At the round 5 he actually try to jump at Usyk after the lowblow situation(don't want to discuss it), but nothing comes out of it.

He sees that he have no chance in anything. As let's be real he was talking a big game before the fight, he and his team.
That he would have smash Usyk little CW head, that he is 10 years younger, but at 7-9 round it was clear he was getting tired and tired, and Usyk was just changing gear, and wasn't tired at all.

I think Dubois realize that he can't hurt Usyk, body shot didn't worked, the head hunting didn't worked at all. Usyk wasn't hurt at all, and he just see no-hope in doing anything, but receive a beating, took the knee and gave up.

 

I agree completely, but why do you think he couldn't impose himself, as they were all talking i mean from his team that he won't do the AJ mistake and box with Usyk. That he will impose and use his size, being rough and dirty as possible, but we didn't see any of that.
Not mentioning the lowblows and the situation in the 5 round. I mean why he didn't try to bully Usyk?

I'm asking cause i see a lot of people talking about that, but at the end no one could done it. Could it be that Usyk just don't allow to be clinched/holding/ leaning on him.
He just break straight away, as there is 1 attempt from Dubois to clinch, but Usyk break it straight away.


And this currently maybe not a very popular opinion, but i really like to see Dubois with the likes of Joyce again, Zhang, AJ, Hrgovic, Wilder, Ruiz, and why not Fury as well.

And while he may lose all of this matches, he certainly will have his chances, due to how hard he is hitting.
And being still 25( i even though he was 26), he can improve by quite a lot in the next few years.
It will be interesting to see his career to be fair.
