    When they introduced the bladder protector fighters wear, they put one on a guy and swung a baseball bat right into it, to show how it protects the boxers.

    You don't get "racked" by getting hit in the padded area at the top. You get racked by a guy going up and under and hitting you in the nuts.

    Clearly, you've never worn one.

    You're on IGNORE, too, since you can't talk about boxing without nonsense insults like that.

    This makes for fun reading, but most pros in all sports are usually poor references for knowing the rules.
    The Ref made the call, and seems to be inline with what he deemed low in the dressing room before the fight. Case closed.

    Ok cool, by your logic Salido wasn’t landing low blows on Loma and won cleanly. Thanks for playing.

    No I'm pointing out the irony of you of all people trashing Usyk when your bum king is the biggest hype job excuse maker and crybaby in history, has forged an entire career out of crushing cans, literally refused to do once for Belly what Usyk does religiously.

    And we know you don't actually believe what you're saying and are only using this as a pretext to discredit Usyk so we don't take you seriously, you WBA regular champ bum.

    Your bum king's best win, still to this day, is an ancient Ortiz who he had to clump round the back of the mind repeatedly and needed a time out from the PBC friendly ringside physician to get the W against.

    Your boy should be 0-3 in his own backyard against the only prime legit champ above C level he ever fought and the only reason he got his shot and was able to reign as long as he did, his undeserved rematch, and why he still sat atop of the WBC rankings after back to back KO/stoppage defeats that were essentially one-sided massacres apart from one round is due to the PBC/Showtime mafia and the WBC rigging their rankings for him ie. pure corruption so sit your ass down :lol:

    He didn’t get disqualified did he? Salido was chippy but he got the W. I’ll have to watch again. But what I said stands. Most pros are not good judges of the rules and the ref laid out the rules in the dressing room. Why all the anger?

    Wilder. Wilder. Wilder. Wilder. Blah. Blah Blah.

    Usyk cried foul all night ... against Daniel Dubois. Boxing fans' eyes are finally opening up. Even a bladder protector can't help Usyk absorb body shots.

    Everyone's going to Usyk's body from now on. Everyone.

    Usyk's going to spend more time crying foul and pretending he got hit in the balls than he will dancing.

    The jig is up, as they say.

    Oh well, he's had a nice run.

    They didn't just analyse what he could do better they pushed the narrative that Usyk only won because of what AJ didn't do. I watched this happen in real time and complaimned about it often all throughout that time.

    AJ tried to ''outbox the boxer'' even though that's not what happened. If AJ could've knocked him out he would of. That's what he said the game plan was 48 hours before the first fight. He said he'd been watching a lot of Kronk fighters and that he knew exactly what he had to do and then after the fight he lied through his teeth and claimed he had no intention of hurting Usyk and countless pundits and fans were pushing that same narrative. Usyk simply wasn't there to be hit like those big slower behemoths were and even AJ admitted it was like trying to swat a fly ie. extremely difficult to land on him.

    Salido vs Lomachenko was disgusting a Welterweight vs Featherweight who landed over 100 blows.

    Facts but you can’t pick and choose when you think only the refs opinion is valid.

    Yeah I agree that's what i've saying and that's the point I been trying to get across, this is nothing to do with a Usyk hate agenda.

    I'm judging this primarily on what I thought was a legit shot, and theres countless borderline shots throughout history that have been scored legitimate that were worse than Dubois's shot and I've gave a few examples already.

    Usyk is still a great fighter but hes fighting vs giants and is 36 years old, hes not getting any younger and the more time passes the more beatable he becomes. Because he can't rely on his power and is a very athletic skillful boxer who's style requires alot of fitness/cardio, It's going to be hard for him to maintain that level as he gets older.

    Send me your number. I'll call you when Wilder puts Usyk's best win to sleep in a round or two in Saudi.

    :cool:

    Idk if I want to add multiple brothers to that list unless they have opposing views. I'm guessing Callum and Stephen also think it was low.
