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

[Erroid]

I noticed this as well, his trunks are already very low. I am curious what the ref determined was fair before the fight started

Then you got Fury who wears his up to his tlts

[anonymous2.0]

They just showed a clean replay - it was somewhere below his belly button but above his junk. Borderline. Some will call it low, some won't.

Would have preferred Pabon call it a KD. We don't know how Usyk would have reacted had the ref started counting instead of signaling time out.

I don't think I've seen a Pabon ref a fight where he doesn't muck up somewhere.

if you seen that replay in the post fight interview that hits around his belly button, bottom of the 6pac and that should be a legit body shot

thats a robbery and frank warren mr bricktop is right that why didnt the ref take a point away too

[Dean_Razorback]

This was a little reminiscent of Yarde/Kovalev. Dubois showed some stuff, performed well at times, but just no heart imo. When the going gets tough, we've seen him fold twice. I'd actually really like to see Joshua/Dubois, that's a fascinating one for me

maybe we'll see for the first time both fighters quitting (?) JK

Frank looks so pissed Fish Eyes is gonna whine and moan about this for the next decade and I'm here for his saltiness lmfao

[Rey Diablo]

you'll never know that, nor will anyone know that he would have gotten up and been able to finish the round. that's the problem with an officiating screwup

I know what i (and you) saw, that he spend way over 10 seconds on the canvas and took 5 full minutes to recover. I might concur that knowing he was being counted by the ref, he would have made a diffrent kind of effort to get up, but he genuinely looked hurt and compromised, at least to rise and continue inside 10 seconds.

Don Charles going mental, now delboy enters the ring. hope he kicks off

[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.
