Would Usyk have gotten up had the ref counted it as a “body shot” instead of calling it a low blow?

    So let’s say the ref had a different angle and saw the punch as a legal shot while Usyk was down. Do you think Usyk was legitimately hurt that he would have been counted out or do you think he would have gotten up and beaten the count?

    Do you also think he took advantage of the low blow call and bided his time to recover?

    Usyk physically couldn’t get up from that. If the referee had counted it as a legal shot he would have been counted out on his knees.

    We all saw Ward hit Kovalev far lower and blatantly low, and get away with it.

    The punch was definitely on the low side and the referee called it right.

    Nope. He was dragging himself around like that old dog from family guy. :lol:

    His stock went down from that body shot too, also what was that gibberish at the post fight interview. They need to get a rematch or that will haunt him. It should be easy work right.

    He turned his back and went down like he received an electric shock after pissing on a power line, he would have been counted out.

    You need a lesson on anatomy.

    I was going to say you can't tell your arse from your elbow, but I'll just leave it at....You don't know your bladder from your solar plexus.

    He was literally up standing 15 seconds after the shot. And at the 5th second the referee was communicating with Usyk and he was able to communicate back. I assume based on adrenaline that Usyk was going to continue anyways.

    Most likely he would've gotten up. He was given his time to shake it off so he took it.

    I think you need a lesson on anatomy if you think Usyks bollocks are on his abdomen.

    Whether low, high, belt line, legal, illegal whatever, you can't honestly believe that shot hit him flush in the knackers. So therefore either your boy is a ***** or he was bodied

    Go back to school, specifically Biology class.

    You don’t know your abdomen from your
    Liver from your solar plexus. Dubois got folded by a jab, on the chin

    I think Usyk would have got up without a doubt but he would have been very vulnerable.

    You seem to believe that a blow has to land on the balls to be considered a low blow.

    It doesn't.

    If it land below the waist , it is a low blow.

    The blow landed on or near his bladder, a loooooooooooooong way from his solar plexus.

    The entire glove was on or below the belt line, hence, a low blow.

    I believe he would have but he was clearly hurt so whether he would've survived the round i don't know.

    Not sure how it’s possible to legitimately get so many things wrong in one post but you’ve managed to do it.

    You make superarmy soldier boy Jim seem intelligent by comparison.
