Did Usyk pretend he got hit low during the fight with Dubois?

    It was a punch below the belt or somewhere between a body shot and a low blow. But in my opinion, it wasn’t (a shot to the balls). Did Usyk fake being hit in the balls, and if so, why?

    It was definitely below the belt and it was definitely a hard punch that wounded him. It might have caused the cup to shift, and if that's the case it doesn't need to land on the cup itself to have a signficant impact.

    It was a low blow. Just stop. Stop now, stop forever.

    The real question should be was Dubois knocked out by a jab or did he quit again like he did against Joyce?

    Jesus with the alt accounts in full force after every big fight.

    It's becoming boring this one now .. at the end of the day Usyk dominated that fight and stopped him. Even after numerous low blow attempts by Dubois. Wasn't just one. I've followed this Sport for a long time and I've seen far more controversial moments than that.

    It was seemingly a low blow for me, around the prostate area.
    (Not sure, but isn't an actual body punch would result to a delay before going down? eg. Khan-Maidana)

    My guess is it hit him somewhere it affected his bladder. So a low blow for me. Not super low but low nonetheless.

    I think that is what happened. Look at the trajectory and point of first impact. The final resting place of an uppercut landed fully under the top of the belt line should tell you everything.

    You have seen far more controversial. But this one was also controversial. Just a little bit controversial. Alright.

    Again, for those who skipped boxing rules classes at school:

    Anything below the belly button is low, not just the balls.

    To Usyk’s credit though Dubois did storm the ring and Usyk asked Turki to make the fight right then and there. That was legit. I think we will see that fight if Dubois beats Parker. If Usyk beats Dubois that time without any controversy he will have set the record straight and removed any doubts for the Historic records.

    Yeah but when you spar at the gym every time you get a punch below the belly button you start complaining?

    We should talk about how Dubois robbed Lerena and got the stoppage by clubbing him after the bell. That was an actual robbery.

    Bit lacking in class from Dubois with "I want my revenge for the robbery"

    It was not sparring, but a world HW championship fight. And even if it was sparring, if you got whacked so hard in that area, you probably would complain. Respectfully, if you admit it was a foul, what are you even talking about?

    It was an illegal punch. Zero controversy about it if you know the rules. If they let anyobody win by an illegal punch - that would be controversial.

    Atleast he did actually go in there and called Usyk out to his face. Instead of the talk to my promoter stuff.
