    That pic is one frame after it had begun grazing upwards. It was clearly low. Learn the rules, doesn't have to be a direct hit on the sack. Pelvic area. Even if it was ruled a KD Usyk would have gathered himself & beat the count. Dubois got schooled. Cope.

    There's no way anyone can look at that screenshot I just posted and say that's low.

    I get how you can look at the other screenshot from the reverse angle and argue it's low. Because from that vantage point you can see part of the glove appearing to be up against the bottom part of the belt-line. But that's misleading because it's not actually connecting there. It's not impacting where you're lining up the outer part of the glove with the belt-line. The outer curved part of the glove does not connect, it's the inner / top part that connects which can only be seen from the angle I posted above, which shows the impact part of the glove compressing and decompressing into the upper part of the belt-line, there's no way you can look at that and argue it's low.

    One angle shows the impact point and the other doesn't.

    It would be nonsense to call usyk a bum since he without any doubts has a very good technigue .

    But he is a hard and smart cheater to stay in hw division.

    He has nor punching power neither he is able to take a serious body shot .

    The night was more an ukrainian propaganda show than a sporting event . If dubois was able to touch ans hurt him you can be sure wilder would also be able - with another result.

    He needed a sure victory for the propaganda show and dubois was the least dangerous option available .

    He will ukrainian style duck and talk away dangerous fights even when his hw record stays close to nothing and retire "unbeaten" before having to face wilder or fury.

    He is not the sportsman and superhero many believed.

    A lot of refs are very average, permissive of a certain degree of rule breaking as long as it's vaguely plausible.

    Just because top class officiating is rare doesn't change that the ref was spot on here - that's clearly low, it's a correct call and one that deserves credit.

    Disgusting fight. Usyk lost this by KO.
    Any clean body shot after this and Usyk was playing referee himself, calliing it low blows and warning to keep it up. Joke fight.

    Usyk did NOT react like someone who had just been ‘low-blowed’. He would’ve immediately been holding his crotch area otherwise. He reacted like someone who had just been winded by a body punch. Watch the video, no way for you to refute it. Look at videos how fighters react when they’ve actually been low blowed and compare it with Usyk.

    It doesn't matter. low blows count when they're below the beltline. If you drop a guy with a shot to the ass or if you punch a guy in the leg and he gets a Charley Horse. It's a low blow. If you punch someone in the hip and give them a zinger and they go down, it's a low blow. If you get smashed in the nerve filled pubis or inguinal region and go down It's a low blow. If you bend a guy over and thumb him in the butthole. It's a low blow. Punches below the beltline are low blows and are illegal, whether intentional or unintentional. Therefore not scoring shots. Therefore, you cannot win by KO when punching someone when your entire glove is connecting below the beltline. What the hell isn't computing with you nutcases?

    Because the punch was arching ? And actually landed higher on the point of impact ? Which is why a freeze frame of the punch before the initial impact is not accurate.

    The fact people are arguing over millimetres whether it strayed 0.1 millimetres below belt line just shows to me people are grasping at straws.

    Usyk is a beloved fighter and I like him alot but I call it as I see it and he definitely got away with one last night in my opinion.

    You can see the fabric moving in this vid, this is the point of contact, clearly low.

    It's extermely sad that Usyk pretended like his balls were hit the way he did, thats a very horrible side of Usyk to see, he was looking to get Dubois DQ.
