The only "challenges" for Usyk at heavyweight come from wildcards

You're starting to lose it. Just because someone says something, doesn't mean you should always believe them.

 

No, I don't. But I'll take his over someone clearly prone to blowing smoke up his own ass in a clear as day cheap as hell attempt at reputation building.

 

If he said he couldn't of gotten up from an obvious low blow, then he'd have assholes like you saying Dubois KO'd him. So it's a lose-lose situation now isn't it?

 

Well since I think it was a legit low blow and he was hurt by it. I think he'd have definitely tried like hell, but I'm not sure if he could've fully made it up. He's a prideful guy, who'd like to think he could, and he might well could've pull it off. We'll never know, because Pabon told him to stay down. As far as the low blow itself goes... he reacted exactly like you'd expect someone to react if they got uppercutted in the groin. Shots under the navel are banned for a reason, not just direct blows to the nuts. Where Dubois landed was precariously close to the ilioinguinal and genitofemoral nerves. The after effects of taking a wicked jolting shot to that area is burning pain and numbness over the lower abdomen and lower back that radiates to to the genitalia and into the inner thigh. Which would explain his attempt to stretch out his left leg. Specifically affected is the medial aspect of the thigh, which is the fascial compartment of the thigh and contains the hip adductor muscles and the gracilis muscle, the muscles that are attached to the pelvis which run down the middle of the thigh. So no wonder Usyk was so paralyzed. It's kind of the textbook reason why punching everything beneath the belly button is not allowed in the sport of boxing. So it's a hell of a lot more complex than how the Usyk haters are painting it.
