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

This controversy will probably drag on for months. Going forward though, Dubois looks he won't do anything on the big stage in boxing. He did well in spurts but same issues that he always had and the tendency to quit.

Usyk needs to stay active or call it a day. As he gets older he can't fight 1 fight a year and stay sharp. Also opponents will target that body from now on.

 

He's not in his prime anymore, but still good enough to be HW Champion.

 

What bothered me more was the way Usyk responded. Maybe he was that hurt. Maybe not. If it had been declared a legal KD I bet he would have gotten up and made the count. If you noticed he kept looking over to his corner, shaking his head, as if to say he couldn't continue. It appeared to be pure theater. As Warren Buffett (and others) has said, it takes a lifetime to build a reputation. It takes an instance to destroy one. This didn't look good, imo.

 

Exactly. But, two more good heavyweight matchups tonight.

Dubois didn't exactly deserve a crack or go out on his shield. He is a quitter. I wasn't looking forward to him winning.

But that's a legal shot and he's the new champ just about any other night.

 

Where you from, my man ?

 

His was well below the belly button..Low Blow

 

When the interviewer asked Usyk about the shot, he didn't answer anything but said this is boxing not ballet. zelensky almost jinxed him into a loss. He was paralized by that shot.

That's saying a lot.

 

She was pretty horrible.

 

No, it isn't whataboutery, it is a blow that seems on the line, but not low. It doesn't make sense to continue "it was" - "no, it wasn't". Usyk was hurt and is known to be vulnerable to the body, he withstood hard shots to the head, but this one got him too hurt and the point is that a fair referee should call it what it is, but this is where we see it differently. Fine. As if Dubois would've KOed him if Usyk was up before the 10 count - we truly don't know, but how can that be an argument over a controversial decision? Ignore me, ok, I'm not one of the guys you probably agree or like (all good with that), but you have plenty of users, other forums/sites and media and will be listening to interviews.

 

The states, west coast.
