DDD should be world champion, change my mind

Blow was low.

 

Jesus titty****ing Christ, this, still?

 

Who knew Dean Dubois was on this forum lmao

 

Mate, even Peter Fury and Bob Arum said it was a low blow. I mean, what more do you need?

But okay, here's one that you can't refute: Dubois never said a word. The referee stood 8 feet away with a clear line of vision and immediately ruled it as a low blow. What did Dubois say? Nothing. What did he do? Nothing. He wasn't even surprised. Why do you think that was?

Put yourself in his shoes. You are fighting the HOF candidate reigning and undefeated unified heavyweight champion of the world. You are being outboxed badly in front of your opponent's cheering fans. But in the fifth, your time has come. You land what you know is a good body shot - you catch him! He is down, crawling on all fours! He won't make the count, it's yours, baby, you did it! That's the unified world champion title there... But...

But the referee immediately says it was a low blow. So, what do you do? You just stand there, no reaction - no arguing, not getting upset, not even muttering a word, not even a single hand gesture, not even a raised eyebrow? I mean, seriously?

Dubois knew it was a low blow. He knew it, and he knew that the ref had seen it too. That's why he just stood there. That wasn't a fighter who felt robbed. That was a fighter who knew the referee saw him throwing a low blow.

There. That's your one good argument.

 

Is this an alt sock puppet someone had squirreled away? You know you are insanely wrong. Wanting the punch to be legal is it going to change reality. It was a low blow, deal with it. Usyk was never close to losing and DD was never really in the fight. He was KOd by a jab. That’s reality.

 

Let those threads die folks.

 

Dubois should not have been fighting for the titles in the first place.

The WBA’s justification to have Dubois fight Usyk was that they were getting rid of the WBA ‘regular’ title.

But as soon as the fight was over they brought that WBA ‘regular’ title back.

That to me screams that Dubois was brought in a position to fight Usyk, to serve as an easy opponent for Usyk.

There is nothing that Dubois has done that makes him a legit challenger for the 3 belts.

So no Dubois should not be champion.

Fighters are getting blamed for sitting around waiting for the big money fight. But there is no clear cut honest path to the title. The rankings are completely crooked. Fighters can take on the biggest baddest challenges and they don’t get that mandatory title shot.

 

This is gonna sound bad, but the point you make is a big reason why I'm glad the low blow call was made, second only to the fact that, y'know, it was a low blow. If Dubois had been declared winner by KO if Usyk couldn't raise back up (and I'm not convinced he couldn't have), we probably would've ended up with one of the mentally weakest champions in history. He didn't say a word when the punch was called a low blow, not even the slightest bit of resistance, but then wants to say later that he got demoralized after what he claims was an unfair ruling.

To which I say, man, **** right off with that garbage. If you had a real champion mentality you wouldn't get demoralized. If a champ feels like he was cheated by a ref call, he gets his ass back in there and beats the **** out of the guy he thinks is cheating. Yeah, he got three or four minutes to recuperate, but so did you, and you're ten years younger than him with a lot less wear and tear, and you supposedly got him down with a big body shot, which if anything should've been a confidence booster, cause hey, that means you punch hard enough to hurt this guy! You don't go back out there doing nothing and then get knocked out by a jab from one of the weaker punchers of the era.

We've all seen what tends to happen in these Cinderella Man stories. Douglas and Ruiz are the big examples of course. They came to these fights with a fire in their bellies and upset the odds, then immediately lost them in pitiful efforts afterwards. And these are dudes who actually fought their asses off for this sort of thing. Imagine how a guy like Dubois would fare in his followup fight after getting a win from a "lucky punch" which was just a low blow in disguise.

Truth is though, none of that matters. It was a low blow, and Dubois knows it. If Warren hadn't started spouting off about it being legal, it wouldn't have surprised me if he never said anything else about it. I'm sure he'd have been disappointed all the same, but not about the call that was made. No, the disappointment would probably come from the fact that, yeah, if it had been legal, it would've been one hell of a shot. Wouldn't surprise me if he had staggered Usyk a bit with that. Usyk would've prolly recovered from it well and I doubt Dubois would have any follow up success, but being able to say you were one of the few guys to hurt Usyk isn't a bad claim to have. He can claim it now sure, but it would actually be true in this case

 

These troll accounts with three posts in two plus years really only come out of the woodwork to stir the pot. They don't believe the nonsense they spew, if the majority says up, they say down.

 

Here's the problem and here's the reason this thread exists. You are asking for concrete evidence. There isn't any but there is also no concrete evidence that it wasn't a low blow. If there was solid evidence either way, we wouldn't still be subjected to these threads. It was a referee's spur of the moment call on a 50-50 situation. That's sports. Time to move on.

I have no idea how this ended up being a link to @spravedlivylev profile. I was copying a response to his post.

 

Come on now. Beating Usyk is in a different dimension to beating someone like Trevor Bryan.

In his mind, he was just robbed of the unified world heavyweight title. But he just stood there, because he is "not the arguing type"? No, mate. Don Charles might think people believe in such cobblers, but Dubois not even raising a hand in a spontaneous manner or acting agitated with the referee in such an adrenaline-fuelled moment told everything you needed to know whether it was a low blow or not.

 

I'm everywhere!
