    OK OK then why, as you said, are the "majority" (according to you) saying it wasn't low, that it was a legal shot? Surely there's a reason for the 'majority' reaction to what happened.

    And surely that reason has a lot to do with what I said and not about what you're saying. :deal:

    There's no way you're not trolling me at this point. I addressed this with you already, and secondly, the answer is beyond self evident.

    Not gonna go in circles with you :lol:

    Cheers Shadow.

    No I'm not lol. I'm simply saying in real-time, it looked good, hence the reaction. It looked like Usyk was hurt by a legit punch and got lucky it wasn't called a KD. That was how I saw it and how many people say it, despite your "photographic video evidence". You said you were self-admittedly confused at the reaction. And I'm explaining to you WHY! That's it. Not trolling. I would never troll you kirk.

    Like when a poll had 92% in Golovkins favour when he was robbed against cinnamon?

    So you do accept Canelo lost?

    DOWN GOES USYK!! DOWN GOES USYK. P4P MY ARSE. :risas3::risas3:

    But . . . maybe, maybe . . . it was "barely" low. Usyk was very fortunate get away with that!!

    Great fighters typically don't have close calls like that, almost getting KTFO and stuff. Just sayin.

    A pelvic shot is a low blow.

    Going by your definition there weren't any great HW fighters in the last 60 years or so.

    As I pointed out to Serge, polls involving Canelo on here are unreliable due to the well documented bias against him. I maintain that polls not involving Canelo are very useful, though there may be a pro Usyk bias, but I still want to see the poll to gauge the reaction. After all, kirk "saw" a majority saying it was legal.

    The punch hadn't even landed at that point in the picture ? go look at the video here and pause it at 3 seconds that's where the punch initially landed right on the belt line a legal punch in abdomen, you can clearly see where it lands when the shorts start to ripple.

    That picture is misleading because the punch was an arching punch and hadn't actually connected at that point, and infact actually landed higher than that misleading picture tries to represent.

    Plenty of professional boxers and experts alike are saying it's legit.....

    Fair point, but my point was not that Usyk isn't a great HW, but that he isn't a P4P great, and he doesn't deserve to be highly ranked P4P. This borderline "knockdown" only reinforces my view that he shouldn't have ever been ranked as high P4P as he is. Not that he isn't a great HW.

    How many ATG HW's haven't been knocked down or KO'd?

    That honestly looks like a legal blow.

    A lot of refs would have called that legal, though. Pretty damn close.

    Fair point, but again, there's being a great HW and there's being a great P4P fighter. The other top P4P fighters Usyk is competing with in the P4P rankings have not had that kind of a close call.
