    The only thing boxing fans love more than pushing fighters up is knocking them down again.

    The usual suspects have never liked Usyk they pretended to because they saw him as the lesser of two evils between him and Fury. Make no mistake they have never liked Usyk and have been waiting for the chance to hang **** on him.

    What actually happened in the fight is this: Daniel Dubois was on his knees watching the referee count to 10. He didnt wanna get up, he didn't wanna fight no more, he got the fight beat out of him

    He lost every single round, and ultimately wasn't good enough.

    It's not photo shopped, those frames are taken directly from the video replay :

    For you to suggest it's photo shopped strengthens the case that it's a legal shot. Since it's demonstrably taken from the video which is genuine.

    Yes, I saw the video and the part that is raised is the belt not part of the shorts like I thought it was originally. Still looks like a low blow when video is shown from the opposite view.

    It looks good from that view, and it looks low from the opposite view. What I pointed out though is that in the opposite view, you can't actually see the part of the glove that lands. The angle I highlighted shows the part of the glove that lands and impacts. So that's more relevant when determining if it's low or not, since it shows the part of the glove that lands and you see where it impacts the body.

    So, from your opinion there is no way to call the ref corrupt. You are literally counting in milliseconds. Noway the ref could see that difference in real time. As you said, it looked like a low blow from the opposite view, which is the view the ref had.

    I didn't claim that the ref was corrupt. But it's fair to say that Usyk was "lucky" that he ruled it low. It was very borderline, but a lot of fans are justifiably outraged and see it as a legal shot. And the angle showing it landing does validate that view. On the contrary, the opposite view tells a different story. Two angles, two conclusions largely based on the angle you were viewing it from. But I think you see my point - the view you and others are using to argue it was low doesn't show the point of first contact, it doesn't show the part of the glove that actually hits first. You have no depth perception on that view to see the area that the punch impacted. That can be very clearly seen from the other angle and the impact reinforces that it was a legal shot.

    So I'm not going to blame the ref for instinctively ruling it low, it was a bang bang call and he gave Usyk the benefit of the doubt. However it's also fair to say that was a "favorable" decision for Usyk, that he was rescued from a KD and possibly a KO, that it was controversial. I'm not going to go as far to claim corruption. It was probably just an honest instinctive decision by the ref, however some are claiming Usyk got preferential treatment. Lord knows other boxers have been accused of that for far less observable situations.

    Punchers need to be right once and he did with that legal homerun bodyshot. He got robbed in round 5.
