    They'll be no 'stain', as Usyk comprehensively beat Dubois, there was no need for scorecards.

    Imo Dubois and his team are grasping at straws, hoping to trigger a rematch and another payday.

    Clearly low. Learn the rules, doesn't have to be a direct hit on the sack. Pelvic area. Even if it was ruled a KD Usyk would have gathered himself & beat the count. Dubois got schooled. Cope.

    Usyk looked stronger than ever. Beat Dubois with a jab.

    Everyone desperate to defend Dubois but at the end if the day, Usyk was hurt low blow or NO low blow… and Dubois did NOTHING! Still lost.

    He is a loser. TKO by Jab from a non- power puncher. Dubois quit.

    Dubois lost mentally and physically.
    All that training, all that talk about doing anything necessary just so you can CRY about a referee descision? It was usyk that was hurt not Dubois so why cry??? Go finish the job. Its a CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT…’go “RIP THOSE BELTS OF USYK” like you said pre-fighr

    How about Usyk using his elbow?

    Ali's corner cheated against Cooper and fouled Frazier in their second fight. Nobody cares about either of these two facts.

    Usyk by comparison has a lot less to worry about.

    The rule is a line between the naval and waste so for me it was hit on this line due to the position of the shorts so legal. However, I think it is is close and others would disagree.

    Andre Ward win big hitting low blow , Dubois lose by hitting to abdomen. It is boxing.

    Usyk can do no wrong on this forum.

    I like Usyk don't get me wrong but the way people worship this bloke is a bit, weird.

    If the belly button defines a line for a low blow then a punch to the belly button itself is not considered crossing the line, so it is not a low blow. If two runners are in a situation when one puts his foot on the finish line first, but the other crosses it first, then guess who wins...

    Yep, nice point, Usyk trying to hit dubois (and actually hitting?) with his elbow in the face doesnt look like very sprotmanlike.

    You have a good eye.

    Imho Usyk didnt need the referee's help AT ALL to win that fight.

    All the referee did was to damage Usyk's reputation, and in a completely unnecessary way.
