    Good. No rematch for Mr Puffy Cheeks and old Fish Eyes Frank.

    That is how every pro sport works. The big name or a side, gets every break. The rules don't apply to them when they break them. There is no pro sport that isn't rigged to an extent.

    Would never happen because Usyk is a clean fighter. Never warned for a cheap shot. Suck on that.

    I looked at the low blow video in slow motion about 200 times now, much to the shock of my girlfriend who is wondering why I am spending so much time paying attention to another man's pubic area. So anyway, YOU CAN clearly see the point of impact with the knuckles of the gloves being BELOW the belt line, below the belly button, which is in fact a low blow. The protector, the groin area and the pubic area would feel the Shockwave of the impact. The bellybutton was at the top edge of the beltline, the knuckles of the glove landed well below that area, with only the thumb of the glove being in the belt region. Clear low blow.

    Hitting the top of the hip is an illegal blow.

    My eyes suck, I thought Usyk's navel was not visible - it actually is visible, right? Even if it's only partially visible, then there should be no doubt that the shot landed low.

    But then again, I read that the WBA define it as beltline, not navel - so I am confused, just like always lol.

    Regardless of the evidence, there will always be flat earthers. They're too stupid and/or have a vested interest to consider the truth.
