    Yes it was and his trunks was higher than it should be.

    I hope it will controlled in a Fury fight.

    It was clean but Usyk most likely would have got up in my opinion.

    That's a strange inference considering he was shaking like a leaf on the floor. How on Earth would he have gotten up and been fit to withstand a barrage after ten seconds?

    Dream land.

    The thing people aren’t taking into account with this is that regardless of whether it was a low blow or not (don’t even concern yourself with that right now), the referee ruled it a low blow and gave Usyk time to recover. If it had been ruled a knockdown, we can’t just assume that Usyk would have remained on the canvas for the same length of time and wouldn’t have beat the count. It’s possible he would have gotten back up in just a few seconds. You have to take the full situation into account, and at that moment, Usyk very well may have just taken extra time to fully recover; it’s a smart thing to do.

    Yes, it was a KO, but Usyk was protected in that fight and was not allowed to lose at any cost...

    Shot below the navel is illegal, so if you think this was a KO, YDKSAB, sorry.

    Clean knockout
    Dubois was robbed of a great victory

    I thought it when I saw it live , albeit in shocking disbelief.
    & no amount of replays or reasoning
    Will sway me & Usyk is my favorite Heavyweight.

    sometimes it’s better to be lucky then good….
    Luckily for Usyk he is both Lucky & not only good but Great.

    Dubois’ entire glove was below the belt line

    It was low, not purposely but it was...........Dubois lost, Usyk dominated the whole fight before and after.

    Please move on..................

    It wasn't a nutshot but it was a low blow right on the pelvic region.

    If someone took a sledgehammer and drove the top of my cup into my pelvic bone I would hit the deck also. I do feel like he would have gotten up if it was ruled a KD. It was awful close but ruled a low blow, so it is what it is. Different ref may have ruled different. Also to be fair when looking at it from different angles you can see that one angle show more evidence for a KO and the other shows more evidence for a LB. Just my opinion, I could be dead wrong about it. Just depends on how you see things
