Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk Drops Daniel Dubois Twice, Knocks Him Out in Ninth

[TheBoxingfan101]

dont always agree with frank warren but hes right, thats a legit body shot

[PRINCEKOOL]

Well, I guess the debate is clearly about whether that body shot was illegal or not.

Some refs say that on the belt is okay, and others say it's not. What did this ref say before the fight, that's the question.

Anyway, a better boxer than Dubois would've knocked out Usyk after that actually. Credit to Daniel, but yeah, he didn't throw enough to the body early on, and his stamina and chin isn't that good.

Fury definitely beats Usyk, and Wilder, as technically bad as he is, would likely knock Usyk out, if he caught him cleanly. He doesn't like those body shots, as Joshua in the rematch showed.

It is not that Dubois endurance is super bad, compared to most other Heavyweights in this era.

It is just that Usyk has elite level endurance 'Only Joe Joyce, has shown that he also has elite level endurance'.

Tyson Fury has never shown that he has elite level endurance, the statistics from all of his biggest fights show this.

Fury's endurance is not bad, but so far? He has shown no real feats of elite level endurance. Fury's work rate is overrated, and whenever he has been in competitive fights he has fatigued badly 'But to his credit Fury fights through this fatigue which is a actual strength of his, to fight through the fatigue'.

While fatigue Fury still makes unforced errors, and kind of technically becomes all over the place.

Note: Statistically Fury & Joshua has comparable levels of endurance 'I have made posts on this subject'. Joshua actually most of the time, out works Fury in his biggest fights etc.

Bricktop crying like Don King in Tyson-Douglas. Forgets that Usyk was fine getting 5 minutes.

Was in two minds but it's low enough for me. I wouldn't have been desperately mad if it'd been called a legit shot but I think it's also reasonable to call it low.

You can't argue against this image.... it's clearly low and before hitting the beltline his cup was hit.

[jaded]

The ref immediately signalled to Usyk that it was not an KO, so he didn't bother to get up. You can't conclude that was going to be a KO if there was a count, because unlike Dubois, Usyk has heart and probably would have got up. Dubois couldn't even take control of the remainder of the round after it started again...he lost the rest of the round.

They only showed the alleged low blow like once, maybe twice... I could not see much, looked like it was right on the bottom half of the trunks and half just below. But can't tell because they did not show it!

Interesting to note: It was not a liver shot... It was either way, to the pit of the gut, so Usyk could have been acting... but it is hard to imagine that a gut shot would do that... Who knows?

Pit of the gut for sure, not his balls and right on the bottom half of the belt line. It's a legit call from Pabon but other refs might legitimately have called it different. Is what it is.

Looking back, it looks lower than higher. Still can’t be certain. I’m fine calling it low and would also be fine if it was contested for a rematch. But Dubois DID quit from a jab. That IS a certainty.

No nane Kevin Larena knocked Dubois down three times last fight in the first round. Dubois gassed. You Usyk nut huggers are hikarious. Usyk looked terrible against a a gatekeeper heavyweight.

dominated joshua twice. fury ducked him to fight a 0-0-0 ufc star lmao. u mad doggie??

[4truth]

actually, it looked lower that time. borderline

[Knuckle sandwich]

Dubois doesn't have the dog in him, he needed to rough usyk up, not land a punch step back and take a look at usyk
