    It was not low. People on here are posting screenshots before the impact. Here is the video:

    Maybe, maybe not. For all we know he was pulling a Hopkins, taking every opportunity he could get to win.

    The rules don't say, below the beltline is okay if the belt is high. Most beltlines cover the belly button.

    The shot was right on the belt line not below it, here's the video i'm baffled you don't believe that's a body shot. It's not even close to a low blow a totally legit shot in the abdomen.

    Was it low, technically yes it was, would it have been classed as a knockdown in the UK or the US, yes it more than likely would have been. Had the ref started counting would Usyk have got up? more than likely however the ref didn't count and he milked it. That's experience. Bad sportsmanship but experience and intelligence none the less.

    From an angle that's favorable to your POV, yet there's several others that are not.

    Its borderline and open to debate after watching it 100 times so I don't know how you expect the ref to make that call in real time. If it had been a ko we would be having the reverse debate. The ref can't win.

    He would have got up anyway plus who wants to see dubois win with 1 lucky punch after being soundly outboxed we would have only had to see the rematch

    I’m an Usyk fan but that was a legit body shot and don’t forget Usyk hikes his shorts up, for sure that was not a “low blow”. After this fight, I think Fury will KO Usyk…

    you can freeze that on just as one second elapse (ticking over to two seconds) and see the actual impact. Dubois is throwing an upper cut with his palm up. You can see the white of Usyk's belt line above Dubois' black glove at the point of impact, with the striking knuckles impacting lower than that. I guess this will come down to where people think Usyk's belly button/belt line is.

    I'm not a hater i just call it as i see it had Usyk won without the controversy in the 5th round i would've gave him 100 percent credit, but i can't over look this i'm sorry for me its a 100 percent legit shot to the body, and i don't believe Usyk could've continued without the rest bite he was totally winded and out of it.

    I'm quite glad this happened, I was wanting a new avatar for a while now.
    As you can see, none of the glove lands above the belt :rolleyes:

    Seems like Usyk may have got away with one today but Dubious lack of ring IQ it could be said prevented him from taking advantage of the window of opportunity.
