    No. He was uttelry outclassed for the entirety of the bout barring that one questionable punch.

    On to Fury. Nothing else is good enough.

    No. He was dominated. Landing a low blow does not make a rematch

    It's less a case of Dubois being horrible than Usyk being very good and making him look horrible.

    He might have won two rounds that I considered close, but it was probably a shutout.

    Usyk was winning handily before the low blow. He won round five. And he continued winning AFTER the low blow..

    Had Dubois decided to stand up and continue, he would have been down 90 -79 going into the tenth, 88-81 if you're generous.

    And Dubois was much more gassed than Usyk.

    Apart from a low blow that some mistakenly took for a legit body shot, the fight was not competitive.


    No rematch needed there.

    No, he doesn't. He was completely outboxed and wasn't close to winning a round. It would just slow down the unifying process too.

    No, and he won't get one. Fwank will keep spinning it that his boy knocked out Usyk of course minus the evidence to back it up.

    He wears his trunks lowish or at worst normal height with the naval right at the top of the waistband on his trunks. You pull the top of his shorts slightly away from his abdomen and you'll see his belly button right away. So any shot which lands on the waistband of his shorts is technically going to be below his navel unless the bottom part of the glove lands right at the top of the waistband and a large portion of the bottom part of the glove ie. where the knuckles are with that shot actually landed below the bottom of the waistband and even the middle part of his waistband is below the navel.


    This is a storm in a teacup. For the most part this outrage we're seeing is coming from a bunch of deranged agenda-driven weirdos and known rabid Usyk haters and Belly fanboys who are desperately clutching at straws in order to discredit him and justify their irrational hate. Many of these same clowns turn a blind eye to the flagrant corruption we see on almost a weekly basis across the pond and over in the UK where their boys are the beneficiaries of home cooking and corruption and fighters from Usyk's region of the world get screwed over royally time and time again which they couldn't give a poop about and openly condone so spare me your faux outage and baba tears :facepalm:


    Dubois hit him low numerous times with massive shots, said he was going to punch him low and foul him before the fight, and he himself had his shorts pulled up a few inches away from his tits.

    If Uysk was so concerned about being hit with body punches he could easily wear his shorts much higher like Dubois and Belly do. That would be an easy solution for that problem.

    And he could also try to avoid all these legit bangers and murderous punchers like so many of his peers do.

    He could also try and stack the deck with home refs and judges which has been incredibly rare with his career but a full set of them is practically the norm for his peers across the pond for world title fights. Funny how we don't hear so much as a peep about this from the faux and selective outrage mobs even though it's about as unfair as it gets, is a huge advantage, and it has enabled practically all their top boys to preserve their unbeaten records or will do so in the future or prevent them from having even more losses than they do already :facepalm:

    Dubois should not have been fighting for 3 World Title belts in the first place.

    Like before, there are plenty of fighters that make more sense like Fury, Wilder, or the Zhang/Joyce winner.

    He doesn't deserve one, but I think he should get one, just so Usyk can beat him down in a one sided fashion, just like the 1st fight and put an end to any kind of speculation that Dubois had any chance of winning.

    Dubois should rematch Lerena given their first fight was clearly fixed - wasn't even subtle.

    Then we'll talk about a rematch with Usyk.

    He didn't deserve the first fight. 2nd fight would end even quicker than first. Guy wilts when the going gets tough.

    ESjr is more deserving of his rematch, and that's not saying a lot!
