Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk vs. Daniel Dubois & Dmytro Mytrofanov vs. Hamzah Sheeraz RBR.

I kind of agree, however if he spots a slightly slower Usyk with body shot vulnerability then sure as anything he will take that risk however slight.
Fury is merely playing the same game as Floyd, one of opportunity and timing.

 

Not sure who the other fella on ESPN was with Bradley, but he made a sensible point that Bradley seemed incapable of comprehending. In the absence of clear pre-fight instruction, it's the call of the referee as to what constitutes a low blow. It doesn't matter what Harry Haddock thinks. It was tight enough for any governing body worth their salt to let the ref's decision stand and tell Turbot Face to get lost.

 

Ok, whataboutery...

 

To be fair, his thumb does look like it hits pretty much in the middle of the belt...the actual fist though...not so much. That was a low blow, full stop!

 

if it were truly a low blow
He would have been pawing at his nuts writhing in pain, as opposed to crawling on his hands & knees gasping for air
He had the wind knocked out of him as a result of what is typically called a legal shot right on the belt line.

i am a super Usyk fan
But he caught a break on that lucky / unlucky punch by Dubois.

 

Oh I forgot, did I imagine seeing it or when Jake Paul was in the ring ESPN put the info box that he was 7-0 and a heavyweight boxer?

LOL what a clown show ESPN has become

 

Oh well, that was fun while it lasted.

Too bad they only fight once a year.

I guess we'll see Usyk again sometime in 2024.

 

It's not where the belt is, it's where his waist is, and that was NOT BELOW HIS WAIST!

 

Now you're shifting the goalposts. You were happy to jump on the Dubois was "robbed" narrative, but after you've been called out you resort to this middle ground approach. Cope and seethe - 21-0 deal with it.

 

Arrogance?

 

Let's face it Fury is a headcase but assuming he comes in fit I think he will hit Usyk all night with a long jab and I think you are understating Fury's power. There is a good chance Fury stops Usyk.

 

A low blow isn't necessarily a nut shot. In the video, it looks borderline to slightly low to me.
The ref makes it clear what he considers low before the fight, and a low blow is any punch that lands below the beltline.
That being said, Usyk has made himself really unlikable to me by constantly looking at the ref.

 

It doesn't have to be a nut shot to be a low blow.
