    People posting Tony Weeks vids ie, the guy who deems vicious repeated plum shots are legal blows and who waved a fight off over literally nothing just a few months ago after counting a completely bogus KD for the fighter he wanted to win and many suspect he'd been paid to ensure got the win :lol:

    Yup.

    Now just for the sake of argument... How tall do you reckon the contact patch on that punch was?

    Because that's how far above the bellybutton Usyks shorts would've had to be for none of that punch to be illegal.

    I mean, we'd have to be talking what... 4" or more?

    Even if the shorts are slightly high there's no way they THAT high...

    No belly button visible so a shot on the beltline is ok

    Doesn't have to be a direct hit on the sack. Pelvic area. It was low.

    What is the percentage of Fury stans there? Around 90%? :D

    It's yet another case of "Furyettes vs practically everyone else in the boxing fan community".

    I only saw DuBois quit after taking a hiding from Usyk.

    You see - the referee that suits Usyk's nuthuggers is good, the other one is bad. Even though it's clear that Gary Ritter warned Jared and Andrii right because of the controversy that happened hours before.

    Do we see such instructions from Pabon - no. But hey, it's Pabon who knows the rules, but not Tony Weeks - [url]WBA rules say[/url] "Once the boxers have been announced, he will greet them in the center of the ring and give them their final instructions. These instructions should be brief, as they have already been previously instructed. Confirm your authority, establish the waistlines and reiterate any bout specific concerns." So, as usual, the lord tried to be smart, but failed miserably again. But in their desperation, the Usyk fangirls are willing to bite on this, pretending those facts here don't exist. Plus, Ritter says that punches on the belt are fouls, which is valid only if the line he points at the start is respected, but as we know - shorts move up and down, they aren't fixed. So I "debunked" the lord easily, it required "two functioning brain cells".

    Guys, keep it mature, this doesn't stop you from liking or disliking someone and by doing so, you can still be objective.

    There are things to be polished in boxing, but they don't do it, just as the sanctioning bodies aren't following their principles. I remember discussing with a user here if the punches to the throat are legal - unlike UFC where the rules explicitly mention them as forbidden, they aren't mentioned at all in the boxing rules. And even though it might be very difficult to punch someone's throat, it isn't impossible, but would you accept this as legal and normal?

    Borderline, not low. Shots like that happen in every fight, yet Usyk is the only one who cries every time it happens. Imagine every boxer complained about borderline shots as much as Usyk does lol.

    Good job. DuBois threw a lot of low blows in that fight, as was the stated strategy by Don Charles. DuBois came in with the intent purpose to cheat, he tried, and subsequently took a beating for it.

    You are a troll account. Another whiner who knows nothing about the sport but so filed with jealousy and hate he has to try and diminish an ATGs rep. Well, you failed because no one gives a rats ass what you think.
