    I was wondering if Daniel Dubois' team really believes the shot was legitimate. We all know it wasn't and on top of that he landed like 10 more low blows during the fight. They know boxing, should know that too. Are they just trying to promote the fight and put the confidence in their fighter? Or do they really believe their lies? If it's the latter, being deluded will not help them win the fight. Fury tried put the pressure on Usyk's body and failed. If DDD focuses only on the body too, he can be even more outclassed this time around. Especially that he's not the thinking type. If things won't go according to plan he may fold under pressure again.

    What do you think?

    I think one side likes to fight and the other side likes to softly caress men.

    Of course they don't.

    Dubois didn't even believe he'd been hard done by in the heat of the moment, he knew the referee had called it fair and square and his deliberate fouling tactics weren't going to sneak him an undeserved win.

    The noise is, and always has been, about unsettling Usyk to get a rematch... Where hopefully (from DDD perspective) a less scrupulous referee will be in the ring and he'll get away with it.

    Punk tactics following a punk performance in the ring.

    He's universally recognized as the number 1 contender. He clearly deserves it. Parker deserves the shot too of course, Kabayel also. But it's not like fighting Dubois for the undisputed is something bad.

    Dubois knows he is probably the dirtiest fighter in HW boxing ATM. His style is basically one of a pure brawler and slugger.

    Usyk is a super clean and sporting fighter.

    To shut ones eyes to facts because of ones like or dislike for someone is just nonsense. What you guys are basically doing is the same thing as a white judge putting a latino away for a longer time cause he doesn't like latinos or a guy sitting on the bench giving someone an extra lenient sentence just because the defendent attended the same highschool as him or something like that. Unfair judgments based on bias are wrong.

    The truth of the matter is that technically the blow was indeed legal. A judge can't see everything in milimeters during a fight however so the judge is not to blame and there really isn't much cause to complain.

    But yes, just continue being children and denying the truth due to whatever strange reasons you may have for doing so.

    All of this BS just to show you don't know the rules of boxing. The shot wasn't legal. It was below the navel, so it was a low blow. Therefore it was illegal.

    Parker definitely does...

    Kabayel, for me, needs more good wins - ancient Zhang, Chisora 8+ years ago and a couple of hypejobs isn't a great resume... It's getting there, I wouldn't say he'd be an inappropriate choice for a defence, but "deserves" suggests he's overdue and I don't see evidence of that.

    Shame on you really.

    One thing is rigidly written laws and the other thing is what is traditionally used in practice. Traditionally most referees would not have called a low blow on that, therefore it wasn't a low blow.

    That's only your assumption. I've seen refs deducting points for similar shots. The shot was illegal according to the rules and this ref called it as illegal, as he should. Therefore it was 100% low blow no matter of your mental gymnastics.

    Well , actually most boxing experts agree it was not a low blow , justified to give usyk a up to 5 mins break .

    Please feel free to google it yourself .

    So your post is misleading since its not "we all know" but only your personal opinion where most experts disagree with you .

    That's just not true and you know it. Plus boxing rules are clear - everything below the navel is illegal and the shot was below the navel. No discussion here. Some people may not seen the best angle that's why they are misinformed.

    Whether Dubois and his team believe it was legit or not makes zero difference as ref called it as foul, and Dubois went on to lose.

    However keeping that non foul claim in the spotlight sure will do no harm to sell the fight to the paying public.

    If keeping the "i wuz robbed" idea in his head motivates him then who can criticize him for that.

    Dubois annihilating AJ in such devastating fashion will have enhanced his self belief massively.

    Perhaps Dubois will have learned from his initial bout with Usyk.

    Whatever your opinion is of either boxer, whatever the result you expect, and whichever boxer you will be supporting etc, the fact is we will have a undisputed heavyweight title fight to watch, a rare rare event indeed in the present era of the sport.
