    Usyk beat Dubois and didn't lose a round on any sane scorecard.

    That is the best description of that fight I’ve seen… free of rabid fanboyism / haterism.
    Good one dude, carry on.

    Punching from down low there is also less margin for error on the belt line. If you come from above and catch half the belt there's room for it to be let go.

    It is generally odd to me the amount of people that want to reward DD for swinging from well below the nuts and connecting in the vicinity.

    So apparently they don't know the rules. Every shot below the belly button is illegal. This was that kind of shot. End of. There is no debate here really.

    If Usyk got lucky why didn’t any of Dubois legit body shots (however many he managed to actually throw) cripple Olek thusly?

    I linked a clip of one such legit body shot - it was a ripper and credit to Dubois for that punch - but Usyk took it.

    It’s strange how people complain about other improprieties in boxing but are happy to give a pass for such fouls - they impugn their “logic” further by calling in the incorrect allowance of similar fouls in other fights to support their case.

    Exactly. To suggest otherwise is to deny reality

    I thought it was low but after reading that you’ve got a Ukrainian boxing coach I’ve changed my mind.

    Dirty Dan is this era's Golota. The only difference is that Golota resorted to dirty tactics when things got tough but Dirty Dan resorts to dirty tactics before the things get tough. It's a brilliant adjustment to his game and completely takes away his biggest weakness.

    Below the naval. Low blow. Knocked out by a jab. End.
