Belt line all night long...

Yeah if that is a low blow, than every ref I've ever seen is doing it wrong. They pull the belts up to the navel. It was a legal punch and legit knockdown. Not sure if Usyk makes the count, we will never know.

On a side not, that ridiculous traditional cossack dance at the end. I like Usyk, but talk about looking goofy as hell.

sick of hearing dubois was robbed bull**** usyk isnt the type of guy to fake that **** the shot seemed to end up on beltline but probably started low enough to hurt bad only usyk know how bad it hurt i know as do most men even a grazing hit hurts cant imagine i hard hitting heavyweight hitting there ...PLUS dubois had the rest of the fight to still win its not like he was disqualified and he couldnt do it not good enough

I agree. He seems like the guy who would take a loss and rematch. Everyone knows he'd win the rematch anyway. Dude got lucky to even land that low punch.

I would be okay with a rematch to remove doubt.

No delusion, wilders a bum I agree. Wilder also sparks out Dubois within two rounds. Keven Larena should’ve ko’d Dubois. Wilder hits 10x harder than Dubois, Usyk could barely take Dubois’s punches. Face reality, stop the delusion, Usyk’s an overrated heavyweight.

Wilder couldn't stop fighters much lower in levels than Dubois in 2 rounds on his best day. Dubois would knock him stone cold out. But we know Wilder doesn't take those kind of fights. He carefully cherry picks garbage. Dubois at least takes on proper fighters and we see the truth. Not some orchestrated bullshlt like Wilder's entire pathetic career has been.

Wilder has the worst accuracy in the division. He is the worst in controlling distance. He telegraphs everything. His stamina is the worst. He's got a glass chin. He's mentally weak. He can't fight going backwards. He has no timing. How is he going to land clean when it's hard to do so on someone like Usyk? Then you factor in his ability to hold a shot. Sorry, but it's fantasy land to believe otherwise. Wilder struggles to hit fighters clean who are easy to hit for the rest of the field. But he's going to hit the most awkward fighter to hit in the division? He isn't doing shlt but getting dominated and stopped by Usyk. He won't win a single round.

The low blow will be contraversial...it was half on the belt, half. below.

If it's half and half it's a foul. From what I saw live I would have to reserve judgement until I heard what the referee calls a low blow. This was the equivalent of a painted corner slider, very hard to call.

Damn dubois, not again, shot at the title, you gotta get up

I also couldn't believe that he is waiting to get up till 9. He was definitely not knocked out with that short right ... but I think he just lacks heart for tough fight and wasn't even complaining on referee decision.
However, I am sure he will be very angry on himself later.

This fight was over in 5 and this ref purposely saved Usyk and then kept repeating to him to continue resting even though Usyk wanted to engage. The ref made him stay resting. That was a KO in 5

No Pabon isn't very good and shouldn't be refereeing matches at the world level. He's not Ian John-Lewis bad but he is allows way too much rule bending and allows obvious fouls.

[Clubber Zhang]

Considering the ring was wet and Usyk is a boxer whose use of movement is such an important part of his game, can you imagine the total/utter domination that would've been put on Triple Knee in a dry ring? Those of you who say they'd like a rematch - man, ANYTHING to keep Usyk away from Fury.

I konw the WBC belt wasn't part of the fight, but the WBC rule on low blows is:

1. Low blows (being a line encircling the body at the level of the navel).

If you look at Usyk's trunks, you can see his navel slightly above the top of the belt line, so the punch was def. below the navel.
