    I know Usyk is probably the most loved boxer on this forum, so everyone defending him was to be expected, but let's be honest here. Take a look at this:

    https://dubz.co/c/ac5831

    How can you look at this and claim that that was low? People on here are posting screenshots BEFORE impact. The point of impact is shown right there, in slow motion, and it's not low.

    None of his glove is above the belt. All of it is below.

    That's a low blow.

    It was borderline but my guess is that it but the top of the cup that squashed into Usyk's balls and caused that reaction.

    It was no bodyshot.

    Dubois' hand was also entirely below the belt line too.
    Therefore *legally* or within the 'spirit of the rules' it can be called a lowblow.
    Go see every angle and you'll see DD's hand below the belt line of Usyk. That is how it has always been defined - below the belt line.

    It's all irrelevant anyway because Dubois quit down the line in the fight when Usyk cranked up the pressure. It's how he is built - pure front runner.

    Even if Dubois won the belts he would have mentally folded against Fury and lost them all immediately.

    And it's alao can be call as low, even if its just a part below. Clear low blow and Usyk face and reaction speaks of it clearly as well. Your body react like that whwn you are hit low.

    It was low and coming upwards. If you've worn those type of protectors, the whole thing shifts up and your balls get smashed.

    If the shot hurt his nuts he would've rolled over or at least tried to reposition his cup. I've been put down from bodyshots around the navel area myself in sparring, that's what it looks like to me.
