    Your video isn't any proof what so ever

    That's a perfectly legal shot

    It comes from low, yes, it's an uppercut to the body

    It lands no where near anything that is Usyks **** and balls, it hits him right on the belt which is positioned firmly on his stomach

    Usyk wasn't expecting it, didn't see it coming, had the wind knocked out of him, turned all the way around and folded himself in half with no hope of getting up in ten seconds

    Dubois wins by body shot KO

    That's a wrap. As clear a low blow as you will see.

    Dubois actually threw a number of low blows in the fight. This one just landed the best.

    No, it was totally low. All below the belt line.

    Frampton himself, who was rooting for Dubois on a UK broadcast of the fight, said it could be ruled low.

    Of course it can be ruled low, because it was low.

    Definitely looks lower tummy upper pelvis. Nowhere near the nuts. So the pain was from the pelvic bone area? Seen worse low blows.

    What was you initial thought? You think he bought some time for a legal tummy shot?

    Yep it’s a low blow. No way around if. Usyk doesn’t wear his trunks high and zero part of the glove connected with flesh. All trunk it’s low not horribly low but still low

    Correct. I have a still picture of the punch landing and almost all of it is low.

    If I can upload the photo, I will.

    Any other time the boxer would shrug it off near the lower tummy and the ref would say keep em up. This is the first non-nut shot that completely floored a guy for about a minute

    I drew lines at the point of Dubois' knuckles/fist at the start and end of the punch, and... I still don't know. Definitely seems to start quite low, ends kind of borderline as it pushes up.

    Happy to give Usyk the benefit of doubt. Lord knows Dubois didn't earn his shot by squeaky-clean means either.

    The WBA referee manual states:

    LOW BLOW/HITTING BELOW THE BELT

    " It is critical to know that the waistline is defined as the imaginary horizontal line through the navel to the top of the hips". This is regardless of where the boxer places his trunks and/or protective cup.
