Did Usyk pretend he got hit low during the fight with Dubois?

100 percent low blow. Its an area thats protected for a reason. Take a shot there and you,ll find out why.

 

So very low and I wish all naysayers to get hit there from a competent puncher, let alone with mean intentions.

 

It was a clear low blow. Despite that, which normally has a HUGE effect on a fighter throughout an entire fight, he got back up and destroyed Dubois.

 

I think he got hurt with that punch.
I think it was "low" on the slimmest of technicalities. Like his pinky grazed slightly below the legal area.
Had the ref not seen the half centimeter portion of the glove land below the belt and called it a legal punch, I don't think Usyk would have beaten the count, but we'll never know for sure.

I also don't really care about this "controversy". The fight continued and Dubios got knocked out by a jab. When the lightest hitting champ since Chris Byrd knocks you out with a jab, you lose all credibility to claim any sort of "win".

 

Dubois targeted usyk,s lower body all the time and it worked , hurting and exhausting usyk more and more .

He then either decided on the next hit on his protector to intentionally throw himself on the canvas and actoring a balls hit to get a 5 mins recovery time , or he was indeed knocked down by this shot and brilliantly actored a balls hit in the hope he will not get counted.

We will never know which version of this two and we will never know what would happen when he would get counted .

 

He gets up if the count starts and battles through anyhow

 

Did Dubois win more than one round of that fight?

 

Key point for me is that it was coming from low - who knows what pressure it put on the cup as it's very hard to pinpoint the contact.

If a punch is coming from high and taps just below the belt line then a warning is fine in most cases.

 

Usyk won every round and Dubois was floored and made to quit by a jab. This dumbass narrative needs to die already.

 

It was low (just) but Usyk certainly made the most of it.

 

was this sparring at the gym no. this was a professional bout with professional rules DD is a dirty fighter much like Ward before him who headbutted and fouled opponents all the time.

 

Who cares maybe DD should quit intentionally fouling then.

 

Yeah the stupidity is out in force today.

 

I don’t think Usyk milked it. It genuinely hurt him and it didn’t have to hit his nuts directly to do so.

Much needed context yet again: Dubois threw multiple low blows PRIOR to the one that saw Usyk on the canvas. The ref had let those low blows pass.

When the fight resumed, Dubois continued to throw low blows AFTER the low blow that the ref had finally acknowledged. The ref reverted back to ignoring them.

It made Usyk pissed and we saw how an angry Olek dealt with Dubois thereafter.

Low blows were clearly and deliberately woven into Dubois’s strategy - and Daniel in other fights had admitted that he will bend the rules (aka: do whatever it takes) in order to win - not the sharpest tool in the shed is our young Daniel, but “All God’children…”, as they say.
