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

[billeau2]

Not one person has even thought about the fact that had it been ruled a knockdown Usyk probably would have at least tried to get up. Wasn't an automatic TKO.

Actually I have counted at least 3 posters who said as much... Probably more. I mean it is an important component of the sport: If grandma has sugar, Lemons and nice cold water, you don't contemplate going thirsty! If the ref says "take a few, take a few..." You take a few.

That's a frame early

if you watch the actual video and see the trajectory of Dubois hand , when it actually lands on Usyk, it was on the belt line

And I agree. But in no way did Usyk look good whatsoever against a legit gatekeeper with a questionable chin. Dubois also coming off being knocked down 3 times in his last fight, and the longest layoff of his career just make it worse. You can’t legitimately watch this fight and go “Usyk dominates Fury.” The way Usyk looked against some of Dubois’s punches make you question if he’d even last against wilder.

Usyk fights to the level of his opponent. I thought he looked great. I have zero complaints about his performance.

Well, according to the rules everything below the belly button is a low blow. Considering that Usyk usually puts his trunks pretty low (just compare them to Dubois') his belly button should be somewhere around the top of his belt, and if this footage is correct then this is clearly a low blow. What I saw live was the punch landing on the middle of Usyk's belt and that could also be considered low but then it raises the question, well, what if Usyk's trunks were pulled up just enough for the shot to be legal. As a fan of Usyk I really hope that the footage is correct and it was in fact a low blow rather than Usyk faking one.

Thank you.

It's the referees discretion. That's the end of that argument..He thought it was low and he let 10 other low ones go in the process..

I mean just the post is a lie. A body shot knockdown isn't a knockout.

Go and suck on usyks perfectly unbruised p3cker and kiss his stomach better whilst you're at it

Sounds hawt

Looking at a freeze frame photo, the punch definitely looked below the belt line. Even if the trunks were a bit high, it still was below the navel.

Wheres the talking point about how usyk reacted to the punch ,he certainly never acted like he was hit in the gonads it looked more like he was extremely winded which means the punch was abdominal
