    He used to miss a lot in cruiserweight too, watch Hunter fight. He is just being cautious in heavyweight, because a single punch can knock him out. I think he was better against Dubois than against AJ 1 & 2.

    :beer-toast1: Correctamundo Drew. Where the punch digs in, is the top of the groin and well below the beltline.

    Not every fighter wears their Trunks like Lennox Lewis did against Holyfield. You would have a complaint then

    Maybe maybe not he may have been looking to survive the rest of the round had he gotten up and got dropped or hurt again.

    Also, even at the time, it seemed like Usyk's reaction to the shot wasn't of being winded, but of being wounded...which is what happens when the cup protector rides up and pinches. I think there's reason to believe that Usyk might be vulnerable to body punches, but that shot was a little south of the target area.

    The shot was on the belt line NOT above his belly button. Usyk wears his shorts lower than most heavyweights I've seen especially when you compare them to dubious. As the English commentators stated at the end, the ref usually shows the fighters before the fight what he considers low. The question should be what is considered low? In my opinion it should be anything below the waist which would make the punch a low blow. Having said all that Frank has latched onto a bull **** loop hole to force a rematch but I think if dubois game plan was to punch to the body he applied it very sloppily as he didn't commit to it. He's also revealing himself to have rather sensitive whiskers

    Fighters frequently try to milk low blows. That doesn't mean they couldn't continue if the punch wasn't ruled low and they had to get up by 10 seconds. John Ruiz did that all the time.

    Get Frank Warren out of there or I'm buying a ticket to Wrocław and tossing a bottle of **** at him. Yes, of my own making.

    It would have been a shame if they stopped it for that punch. Usyk is not a fighter who cheats to win. He is a stand-up guy who fights clean and does not foul.

    I once thought of it as being a super close fight, but legit, I think Usyk stands a very good chance of TKOing him now. He's good at getting out of being tied up and Fury's shots are only hard when he's able to sit down on them, which worked for Wilder, Whyte and Chisora but will not work for a man not standing in front of you with his head on the line all night.
