Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk vs. Daniel Dubois & Dmytro Mytrofanov vs. Hamzah Sheeraz RBR.

His was well below the belly button..Low Blow

 

When the interviewer asked Usyk about the shot, he didn't answer anything but said this is boxing not ballet. zelensky almost jinxed him into a loss. He was paralized by that shot.

That's saying a lot.

 

She was pretty horrible.

 

No, it isn't whataboutery, it is a blow that seems on the line, but not low. It doesn't make sense to continue "it was" - "no, it wasn't". Usyk was hurt and is known to be vulnerable to the body, he withstood hard shots to the head, but this one got him too hurt and the point is that a fair referee should call it what it is, but this is where we see it differently. Fine. As if Dubois would've KOed him if Usyk was up before the 10 count - we truly don't know, but how can that be an argument over a controversial decision? Ignore me, ok, I'm not one of the guys you probably agree or like (all good with that), but you have plenty of users, other forums/sites and media and will be listening to interviews.

 

The states, west coast.

 

agreed, problem is provolone didn’t make it clear before the fight where he was going to call low blows - he omitted that for some odd reason.

the point I’m making is if it’s on the belt line
How can he call it low especially if he didn’t define what he would consider low.

How can he call it low in such quick action?
If it were a clear & obvious nutt shot it’s explainable - but this was on the belt line
In real-time looked like a legit body shot.
Upon further review / super slow mo it’s on the belt line splitting hairs.

boxing needs official instant replay.

 

The first thing out of Dubois in the post fight interview was that he was robbed out of a win, but where is the responsibility of finishing the job. He couldn't end Usyk after that recovery although he looked shaky. You gotta take that opportunity and use it to become a real champ. When the going got tough, he checked out instead of persevering. If he thinks a power jab is tough to get up from, what about the old school fighters that kept getting up over 15 rounds from monster shots?

 

Nahh he was looking over and shaking his head at his corner saying “No, I don’t need more time”

 

So be it.

 

Fully agree on both of your points.

Dubois is naturally flawed. He's pretty much prime age and doesn't have what it takes at elite level. He's been exposed now, he doesn't know how, or doesn't have the confidence to capitalise in a fight at world level, and he definitely is something of a quitter....no two ways about it for me

Usyk, as much as I'm a huge fan of his, is certainly in some decline now. He's still a great fighter of course. I'm just not sure now how long he can go on.

 

Be that as it may Usyk caught a major Break today.
Tyson Fury will be able to land on the body from long range with no real fear of being countered…. Too bad Fury doesn’t want the smoke.
