    I dont think I've ever heard him admit he was wrong. He gives it away with that dumb little laugh he does and when he screams louder

    Yeah pretty much, but my point is it didn't hit the balls. It was slightly low.

    I didn't watch the fight.

    Was it any good?

    As for the low blow, did Usyk stay down for as long as he did because the referee said it was a foul or was he clearly unable to have beaten a count?

    Told you Dubious would be dangerous. Everytime you step foot in a ring with a puncher, even more so for one with savage power who is much bigger than you, you're crossing a minefield. All it takes is a split second and one tiny mistake and it can all be over. Usyk dominated but his accuracy and sharpness is not what it once was. People thought AJ did a lot better in the rematch but I think that had more to do with Usyk not being his usual sharp self.

    The low blow was borderline and unlike Dubious his shorts aren't high. You can see his bellybutton so a shot doesn't have to land all the way below the beltline.

    Considering Dubois has been a heavyweight dream project since he was born, it's pretty sad that he's so limited. Has done well but don't see where he goes from here. He might be 25, but he can't learn what he needs to if he wants to win a world title.

    What a difficult fight for a boxing fan for three distinct reasons:
    1. Usyk winning is better for boxing. We want him to win for the sake of the sport. So this is great.

    2. Usyk lost that fight fair and square. He got hit in his gut and was out of it. Leaves a rock in my stomach to see this outcome, even if it is “better for boxing”. Dubois landed a clean and powerful shot to Usyk’s navel/bladder. And this day should have been remembered for that. Today should be about Usyk getting a rematch later in the year.

    3. This ref is extremely suspect. It’s one thing to, in the moment, see a low blow. But it’s another to prolong the rest of a clearly injured fighter. He asked Usyk if he was okay and Usyk said he was ready. You don’t force more rest on him, that’s unfair for his opponent. Those 5 minutes are there if Usyk requests them, not as a mandatory thing. And then that 10 count to finish was the fastest I have ever seen. Normally he’s a decent ref, but today he wasn’t very good at all.

    I mean, it was below the belt. Unless someone shows me an edit with the punch landing on the belt, why would I?

    Sensible comment. Too many arguing that they think it was a legal shot and therefore Usyk was using kidology on the ref to buy time but in the same breath that equals a KO.

    Usyk was not world level today.

    Fury looks good fighting 58 year old chisora and not being able to wobble him and then going with Nganou . You are a fool.
