    After this whole debacle with the Usyk-Dubois fight, it reminds me of the Tyson-Douglas long count where Tyson dropped Douglas and after the fact everyone claims he knocked him out. Except the referee didn't count Douglas out. Now anyone with a greater than two digit IQ knows Tyson lost that fight fair and square.

    The Usyk-Dubois low blow was borderline, although I personally think it was a low blow. Are people really saying Dubois was robbed when the referee didn't count out Usyk? Are we going to debate this in 20 years time? One guy was counted out and the other guy wasn't, regardless of what happened before the 9th round.
