    We have Clenelo fans of all people piling in on Usyk for obvious reasons. The fanboys of the poster boy for corruption in the sport whose entire career is shrouded in controversy, whether it be PEDs, the numerous robberies, scandalously wide scorecards time and time again, brutally assaulting 108 pounders etc.

    Usyk's career has been controversy free compared to virtually all the other greats, let alone compared to Clenelo. You can't make this up. It's like comparing someone who slapped someone to a mass murderer :facepalm:

    “Any blows on the belt are fouls”
    Clear instructions
    How it should be
    Call out your judgment prior.

    It’s not my call dude
    It’s the judgment of the ref
    The belt line to me is right at the belly button
    For most boxers cause that’s how high they wear they’re trunks.

    im saying at least let the boxers know what you will be calling low / foul if your ref.

    provolone should take notes.

    Of course I know better
    But every ref is different
    At least this guy called his bias out

    Yes. It's not that low, but the vast majority of the glove was beltline or lower. Plus, the point of impact happened a split second earlier and was lower than where the glove showed.

    Serious answer.

    I wonder how many people who thought Ward’s KO of Kovalev’s balls were legit think Dubois’s was an illegal blow! No comparison.

    You're obsessed with Canelo bro. :deal: No one's even talking about Canelo but you see everything through the prism of Canelo. You're letting Canelo live rent free in your head. A piece of advice my friend - everything isn't about Canelo. This is just about your golden goose Usyk going down from a belt-line shot and the referee rescuing him by ruling it low, a very controversial decision.

    The irony of you proclaiming Usyk's career controversy free coming off of a very controversial win. I can tell you one thing - Canelo's never gone down from a borderline body shot like that, and never needed a referee to save him from a knockdown or possibly a knockout. Canelo's never been dropped or visibly hurt like that. Wanna know why? Because Canelo's defense and punch resistance is light years ahead of soft body Usyk. :cool: Your precious Usyk got his "controversy" cherry popped against Daniel-san so that's no longer an argument you can make.

    I can tell you're very verklempt over this, but just take a deep breath. It'll be OK.

    This will be written about for a long time and will probably haunt Dubois for a long time because this was his opportunity.

    You are either a blind or just talking nonsenses.

    A shot below the beltline, doesn't matter if it's 1cm or 5cm. is a lowblow.
    Boxing is the only sports where people are crying over things like that, cause it's dirty and corrupt asf, and it's always bias and favoritism in it.

    In MMA every single foul is called. With Boxing they allow the "A" side to get away with murder.

    And when there is a clear lowblow, and illegal shots, people start crying that was a legit shot, which is beyond pathetic.

    Do you even know what lowblow is ?
    If you want me to take you seriously give me the rules.
    Anything below the beltline is LOW. Do you even know what beltline is though ?

    Explain to me exactly where this punch is landed?

    Half of the Dubois gloves is way below the beltline.
    Yeah nice try buddy.

    This!! Perfect.

    And most of the criteria and subsequently required official actions detailed here for a deemed “low blow” should already be part of non causal fans pre-existing knowledge. A lot of it involves pure common sense also. But when people don’t want to know, they don’t want to know.

    In all the arguing, fighting and jostling barely a soul seems interested in the actual to the letter of the law rules.
