    The problem with this narrative is that... Well quite frankly Wilder is an ATG at ducking whilst pretending nobody wants to fight him and Fury openly doesn't give a **** if people think he's ducking, he won't fight unless he wants to.

    Even if Usyk doesn't want to fight them, it's a damn easy sell to pretend they're the ones that don't want it because they've both spent almost their entire careers making it remarkably easy to paint them that way.

    Exactly mate I've had a few people calling me delusional and etc for having different opinion which is silly, it's close enough either way to be debatable and I'm certainly not going to hate on someone for not agreeing with me on very debatable subject.

    If you see it differently to me that's fair enough I've got no problem with it, in my opinion it was a legit body shot on the belt line and Usyk was a bit fortunate but its whatever.

    In a way all this unexpected controversy could be a good thing, maybe we might get to see the actual Heavyweight fights we want to see like Usyk/Fury.

    I admire your optimism... I'm not sure whether it'll really make much difference - I'm not convinced Fury really has the fire in his belly to get to the level of fitness he'd know he needs to have a competitive bout with Usyk

    Hopefully you're right, but it's got to the point that I'll believe it when I see it!

    His belly button is online with the top of his shorts, Dubois entire fist is below it.

    No, from what I’ve seen the majority of former or current pros said it was legal. Right on the belt Iine.

    Yeah that's what I've been seeing aswell, people are talking about freeze frame but as I keep saying its inaccurate because the punch hadn't land. The initial impact was higher right on the belt line.

    As I've said numerous times if people think Dubois's punch isn't legit, then Crawford's body shot stoppage over Khan certainly isn't legit either then which was far lower than Dubois's punch.

    I guess besides where we personally think the punch landed - the other point of contention was the manner in which Usyk went down and how he reacted thereafter.

    I personally don’t think how Usyk went down or how he reacted thereafter was necessarily inconsistent with a punch landed low.

    In fact, there were some characteristics displayed that were more arguable for a low blow rather than a 100% legit body shot.

    As far as getting hit square in the nuts, the pain can radiate and/or refer.

    I’ve been hit in the jewels and haven’t necessarily clutched at my balls, rather, I’ve folded my body in attempt to alleviate the pain which can often feel most intense in the lower abdomen.

    Also, the pain can and has felt very much akin to how one feels when they’ve been acutely winded - the duration of immobilisation can vary depending on exactly where you’ve been hit low and how hard you’ve been hit.

    Usyks trunks was half way to his titties. Fair shot. Bad call. Dubois still lost.

    The way I feel about it is his initial reaction to me was someone that got hit with a good body shot and not low blow.

    If you look at 2nd Joshua fight it's one of the later rounds ? Joshua hits Usyk with the same type of body shot on belt line. And Usyk was considerably hurt by it and referee thought it was low which it wasn't and Usyk needed time to regroup.

    Usyk's belt line covered his belly button and Dubois hit him right on the point of the belt line.

    That's just how I see it.

    In all honestly I wouldn't want Dubois to be champion especially how he actually lost this fight, and the fact he isn't world class but I think he was very unfortunate here though.

    Lost a lot of respect for Tesatore last night. Seemed like he's under direction to troll boxing fans now. The shot was clearly low.

    That’s clearly the reaction you make when it’s a low blow and it’s extremely sad that Dubois didn’t get a point taken away.

    I've learnt something after so many years of reading/hearing/watching lies in the mass media.

    When someone wants to lie, he hides the video and put screenshots only.

    You can hide the video as much as you can, and you can put all the pictures that you want to. Anyone with half a brain and who has watched more than one boxing fight knows that this punch is legit.
