    No ifs or buts that was a 100 percent legal punch right on the belt line.

    Fury would destroy him. I like Wilder's chances too.

    I think so. He was out and had the ref started counting he did not look like he could have gotten up.

    Unless the ref starts counting, it's purely hypothetical.

    Totally agree he looked totally winded and didn't look he could recover without the rest bite, Usyk has a history of been vulnerable to body punches also.

    I imagine there'll be a bunch of single frame still images proving it was technically low but the reality is, if the fight was anywhere else in the world there's no way that's being called low.

    If that happened in the UK on a matchroom card we'd be giving the ref and Hearn pelters lol.

    Definitely no low blow. Does he stay down and take his time if the ref is counting him though? We'll never know

    I was at work for the fight. From the screenshots I've seen it looks like a clear low blow, but majority are saying it wasn't low. I'm confused lol.

    If over half the glove is below the middle of the belt, it's objectively a low blow.

    Either I've seen some photoshopped photos or, idk lol. Can't look that different in motion can it? Wish I could find a video of it.

    You don't have to be punched in the balls to consider it a low blow, a punch landing on anywhere below the waist line (included) is called a low blow. Because when you're punched in the waistline, your balls hurt and you can't stand on your feet.
