Ha. Credit to Rudenko though. No faking it with him.

How many inches across do you think a.belly.button measures...?!

 

If it's all a bit too difficult for you to see/understand, I don't have the time to stick around explaining it any more simply.

 

Barry Jones on Probox TV explains the whole thing perfectly, look it up.

 

Exactly. He hits him on the waistband. The bladder protector protects that part. All fighters know that. That's why Anderson's opponent wasn't rolling around on the floor complaining the whole time.

 

It doesn't have to hit the balls to be a low blow, read the rules.

 

Right. And since no one has a tape measure during a fight, they just usually go a waistband shot is okay.

But all refs aren't consistent.

I just hope there isn't a wave of guys falling down every time they get hit in the waistband now.

Because once the trend starts, it kind of takes a while to fizzle out.

 

Correct, however Pabon is not one of them. He warned Joshua for the same punch, so no lack of consistency.

 

Several shots were lower than the Dubois “low blow”.

 

So many fighters wear their shorts so much higher though, so that the whole waistband is above the navel...

It's really weird that people of this forum believe everything that Usyk's saying.

Cult is strong I guess

 

Dubois didn't deserve a title shot in the first place, who has he beat since being stopped by Joyce? What went on in his previous fight against Lerena was alot dodgier.

''In a blink of an eye, Kevin Lerena went from toppling Daniel Dubois in one of the biggest upsets of the year, to ultimately losing the fight in extremely bizarre circumstances.

The phrase ‘home cooking’ is often used in this sport. And on Saturday night, the sad reality of boxing officiating, once again, reared its ugly head. While Lerena entered the contest, having held the IBO cruiserweight title, few gave him much chance of upsetting the apple cart. However, he utilised his supreme boxing skills to give Dubois all he could handle.

In the very first round, the crafty southpaw landed an excellent shot on the dome, which sent the Brit tumbling towards the canvas, injuring his leg on the way down. The titleholder got back to his feet, but found himself on the floor twice more.

It was then that controversy struck. The timekeeper ended the first segment with 11 seconds still to go, giving Dubois extra recovery time.

In a testament to the 24-year-old’s powers of self-belief, he bounced back, putting Lerena down in the third on two occasions, the second coming at the end of the third round. But in another dubious move, referee, Howard Foster, stopped the contest, rather than giving the South African any time to recover. And with a minute on the table, who knows if he could have bounced back?


The saddening nature of proceedings has left the challenger’s team up in arms. And the underdog’s promoter is willing to do whatever it takes to get justice for his fighter.

In the aftermath of the bout, Rodney Berman, took to social media to announce legal action.

He tweeted: “An objection will be lodged with the WBA and the British Boxing Board of Control – Lerena was very hard done by, by a biased “loyal referee.“ Fighters cannot be allowed to be treated so unfairly.”


In an ideal world, Lerena would receive another shot at Dubois. But in a sport that produces disgusting scorecards, horrendous refereeing performances and regular deception from the promoters, it’s unlikely the issue will receive just rectification. However, there’s no harm in hope.''

usyk’s belt line was fine. His navel was right near the top you can see it as he gets up from the low blow. The ref spoke to both fighters in the dressing room before the bout and showed him what was considered a low blow. And Dubois was warned earlier in the fight if you watched it when he landed a blow on the belt to keep them up. Ref was consistent you may not like it but blow was low by rules set in place.
