    although maybe it shouldn't be

    but he clearly hit him slightly below the belt

    Exactly. The shot was below the beltline, hence low. And the ref ruled it as such. End of story.

    Unless boxing rules have changed the pubic region is not a legitimate target.

    I remember Beterbiev vs Gvodzyk ref called first round knockdown of Gvodzyk, and than they changed that after seeing the instant replay. Why it's not happened here ?

    Body shots are always a fine line especially when they land on the belt line. We had a lot if debate after Ward vs Kovalev II and I'm sure this fight will be debated for awhile. With that said after back to back fights where Uysk is bothered by body shots, everyone will be going to the body against Uysk from here on out.
