    The punch looked like it hit the belly button, whether directly, slightly above, or slightly below we can't tell.

    What we can see is that he almost passed out with a border line punch.

    My boy Usyk will need to master protecting his body because I think that blue print has been made.

    In the words of Canelo: Gud lawk Mai Fren.

    That brings another point.. had this happened to Canelo, most of BN24 would have said it was a legitimate KO...
    Just facts.

    Had this happened to literally anyone apart from Usyk or Loma who half of this forum jerk off over, they would have said it was a legitimate KO, because it was.

    I think so.

    Usyk's trunks were high.

    The punch landed clear and straight on the belt line, nowhere close to his testicles.

    He was clearly winded, not even grabbing his balls in agonizing pain like every man knows he would if you've ever been punched or kicked in the balls.

    Whether low or not will always be debatable, what won't be debatable is that he has a glass body. My boy almost died.

    Why does he have to be hit in the balls for it to be a low blow?

    It doesn't have to be in the balls.

    However, the punch clearly lands on the belt line. Whether slightly above or below the belly button, we cant tell because his trunks are high.

    What I am confident about is that the glove definitely hit the belly button.

    No the glove was below the belly button. That was obvious. The thumb came close but not the glove.

    You literally just said that you know for sure that the glove hit the belly button. Do you actually not see the inconsistency here?

    It clearly did. The only way it didn't was if his belly button was below the belt line, which we all know it isn't.

    You can't tell if this is below the belly button Isal? :lol:

    You think it's plausible to wonder if this is 'slightly above' Usyks belly button?

    That picture is after the punch already rode up. That's not its point of initial impact.

    Secondly, when wanting to show where the Naval is you don't show a picture of where it is when a guy's sitting on the ground.

    Thirdly, the angle from the front shows where the initial impact is much clearer and clearly shows it was below the belt.

    Why do people think one angle from behind somehow magically erases an angle clearly from the front that shows the glove touching Usyks trunks. This isn't a magic show where one angle means a different angle didnt happen lol. It just means you can't see it from this angle.

    Most importantly, that pic you're showing isn't the punches initial impact. It hits lower and rides up.
