    There seems to be differing opinions on what a low blow is, some say it’s below the belly button which it clearly was, others say it’s below the belt line which it clearly wasn’t.

    It was smack bang on the belt line.

    It was both under the belly button and under the belt line.

    Clear low blow.

    See photo here. All but Dubois' thumb is below the belt.

    Team Usyk also says the referee told them any shot below the belly button was a low blow.

    Usyk's soul leaving his body as he comprehends the average boxing fan's IQ.

    Just kidding. Much love to you gentlemen.

    The point of impact had majority of D's glove clearly below the belt. His glove touched Usyks trunks.

    What would end any bull**** argument that “Dat wuz a body shot doe!” idiots have… is video of the pre-fight instructions from the ref. I guarantee you that the ref DID NOT point to Usyk’s crotch and say “I’m gonna call this low! Anything above this is fine!” Lol! Guaranteed he pointed at Usyk’s belt line and said “This is low right here” They always do!

    So… daniel should’ve paid attention and followed the rules. Case closed!

    That was taken either before or after the impact, there’s other photos that were taken which clearly shows the impact right in the belt line.

    In saying that though, if you want to go off the belly button rule, it was clearly below the belly button.

    Unless Usyk is cupping his balls in that shot, all the theatrics were overblown.

    Does he also explain ALL THE OTHER times he cried foul during the fight, and the referee chose to tell him to continue fighting?

    The takeaway from this fight is Usyk can't take it to the body ... anywhere on the body. The side of the body. The front of the body. The guy must have testicles growing out his hip, above his leg, and who the hell knows where else. He complained about low blows throughout the fight.

    Any body shot that hurt tonight Usyk claimed was a low blow. Hey cried foul over and over again.

    if im a ref i count, thats just me. If im usyk i go low right back instead of going down. It doesnt matter though because the ref said it was low.

    Here is a video for you, so you can comprehend it.
    How is that not low.
    And the rules are clear, anything below the belly button is low. Simple as that.

    There is one more part about it. Not a single part of Dubois gloves did not contact with Usyk body/skin. It was all on the trunk/short part.
    You are not supposed to hit the trunks. You are supposed to hit the skin.
    If half glove contacted on Usyk skin, half was on the beltline, you may have a case for being a legal punch, but that was not the case, and that was 100% low.

    This is the best angle and a clear video.

    You can also clearly see the impact on Usyk shirts and even see the bandage from the shot impact. Clear lowblow.

    I think one has to look at the situation in an unbiased manner and take the referee's circumstance into consideration.

    In the heat of the moment in real time, there's no way the ref could have been sure if it was an illegal shot or legal shot. Considering how much was one the line, if the ref wasn't sure which I'm sure he wasn't, I think he made the right call.

    On the replays though, in my opinion the point of impact was right on the belt. I'm no expert but I always thought if a shot was on the belt it was considered a legal shot. I don't think Usyk would have gotten up if he was counted either.

    Disappointing.Taking us for idiots or blind people.His shorts were not "this", but higher then his belly button, which was hidden somewhere lower then his shorts, and the punch was on that line, so it was around his belly button, and his testicles are not in his stomach.
    I don't get it, why lying? Just move on, tell that you were much better then him, winning all rounds and stuff like that, which is true.

    I always had the understanding that a shot on the belt was a legal body shot, anything below the belt was an illegal body shot. That's my understanding of what a low blow is. I'm not the only one btw, plenty of paid professionals in the industry think the same thing, I'm just a fan.

    In terms of supplying other angles and things of that nature, is that what you want me to provide? I'm more than happy to.

    The rules are clear. Anything below the belly button is a lowblow, that was way below belly button, and it wasn't on the belt.

    Also even if we look at the belt line, anything lower, even if it's a half of the glove, which it was almost all of it, it's still a lowblow.

    There is zero contact as the video shows with Usyk body/skin. All of the contact is on Usyk trunks.
    In order to be a legit shot, even borderline, etc, at least most part of the glove had to connect with the skin of the fighter. This wasn't the case, easy lowblow.
