    Just watched Dubois-Joyce highlights and by the 8th Dubois was already warned for low blows at least twice. Guess which fighter has a history of straying low when he can't punch straight past or around the guard?

    Yup.
    Borderline not low, so a legit blow.

    Speaking of B-Hop, he literally not only forged a career out of cheating and fouling like crazy, he feigned injury when he was hurt or needed a break many times but he is beloved by many of these exact same clowns who are trashing Usyk and harbour this weird irrational hate for him.

    I wouldn’t waste your time, he doesn’t understand that not everyone else is unemployed and has countless hours to waste.

    He reacted exactly liked you expect someone to react if they got uppercutted in the groin. 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.

    Lower abdomen is not groin and that's where the shot landed, regardless of belt line or belly button lol. It's possible it hit his cup and that smashed his privates I suppose.

    Usually fighters go down and stay down from a liver shot, maybe even solar plexus. Unusual for a shot there to cause so much distress.

    Usyk is gonna say he could get up and Dubois will say he couldn't. That's just how it is.

    Usyk v Fury is the fight. Why can't this just happen.

    Pure garbage. To think of the time wasted to write it is sad.

    It was a low blow and a KO9. 100 years from now, the record books will say KO9. Dubois could have changed that, but the only legit shot he landed was below the navel.

    End of story.

    Best strategy would be wearing shorts which reach up to the armpits ;-)

    It was clearly borderline or else it wouldn't even be debatable for this amount of time and opens the book for lots of questions. What OP posted was a theory, if not a bit biased towards his view. But plausible in some aspects. Maybe Op is reaching a bit to state his theory and maybe you guys are reaching a bit to dismiss it lol.

    Dubois hit to the beltline so it was legal punch. The punch didn't even hit near Usyks balls unless he has 20 inch ****. Usyk was down and out from legal body shot.

    The fight should be ruled Dubois by KO5. Dubois is puncher and punchers job is to be right once and thats what he did. Now he got robbed because of the corrupt ref.

    Dubois looked like ****. He probably didn't win 2 rounds. The shot was clearly low. And, regardless, it was RULED low by the referee. There really is no controversy.

    We saw similar corruption with Nichols putting Wilder down with a check jab and it was ruled a slip by the ref

    Dubois won the round 4 and got momentum. Then in round 5 he landed the homerun body punch right on the solar plexus and Usyk was KTFO. He couldn't even breathe or stand up.

    Dubois gameplan was to close the show in 6 rounds and thats what he did. It doesn't matter if you lose other rounds, because Dubois is puncher who needs to be right once. He got heavily robbed.
