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

@CST80 BTW refresh my memory, what was your view on Bud's "low blow" vs Khan? Did you agree with me on that one, that that was low?

 

Keep crying as your boy quit. The blow was below the belly button. Low blow. I'd say open your eyes but that's useless.

 

History showed he's soft against Slavic men.

 

I wouldn't have been screaming bloody murder either way. If he was dropped from a shot like that, I would have accepted it and considered it "close enough". It's not a 1:1 comparison because Canelo doesn't keep his trunks that high.

 

One thing I always do as it pertains to how low blows are adjudicated is to provide context and describe the path of the punch, if it was moving upward or where the punch was targetted. Like with Bud's low blow against Khan, Bud clearly aimed that low, and Khan's movement affected where it landed. Dubois shot was not "dirty" he was not targetting Usyk low.

And how about you : do you consider Dubois shot as "dirty" or intentionally low?

 

Nice nose.

 

No, it is legal to strike anywhere on the body above the belt, arms, neck or head that is at the front or side. It is illegal to strike the back. However some punches are not effective wearing gloves, just as some punches are inadvisable if not wearing gloves - bareknuckle and gloved boxing are two different things.

 

Canello's personal junk sucker talking about damage control the irony. remind me why PED's are okay if your hero takes pops dirty.

Clear low blow.

 

Fair enough. It's a borderline situation. It wasn't a dirty shot and I had the same reaction as the announcer did. That looked good. BUT you could certainly make the argument that it skimmed the lower part of the belt-line on its way up. But don't try to act like it's crazy to think that was OK and Usyk was lucky. He was hurt by a shot that many refs would rule a KD.

 

Bladder shot. The new best way to knock a man out. The new generation of British boxers already drilling the technique.
