Do you consider this a low blow? Freeze frame.

It was a low-blow. Only part that was “on the belt” was the thumb of Dubois’ Glove, the entire fist sunk below the belt.Comment

he was cuffed by Usyk and the ref.
Usyk stopped action and complained to the ref every time DDD threw a bodyshot. Ref comes in, stops action and warns DDD. it was not a organic fight.
it wasn't a fair fight.
DDD STILL won by KO. Usyk was rolling on the ground crying like a girl for 5 minutes
I feel terrible for Dubios, I dont even like him have no reason to be biased, i thought the dude was a bum and he still isnt great but he was denied his rocky upset moment here by corrupt boxing officials. He had his 1 in 1000 chance upset, he should get the accolades that come with it but they ***ed him over, feel so bad for him.Comment

The entire glove minus the thumb was below the belt line. Let’s not rewrite the rules to “if it’s not a direct nut shot, it’s fair.”
I fought in the Ams for years, that would have been a foul 99% of the time.Comment

His naval would have been at the belt, not below. Punching someone in the bladder is still illegal
This. His belly button is covered the entire fight. His belt is high like all fighters these days. Landing on the belt is landing on his navel area which is no where close to his balls.
Ward-Kovalev was way worse and that ref called it a stoppage... tired of these rigged fights.Comment

Wrong =--->

Most of the glove on impact is over the line and the force of the punch is in the top two knuckles. There is nothing on the pinky and ring finger, boxing basics.
I fought for years in the amateurs, everything is a foul. Ref's completely overindulge in the amateurs.Comment

It's a hard call live. With the glove landing BELOW the belt, it leaves room for questioning. I don't know. It's hard to say and if Usyk lost because of that, there will be the other side saying he was robbed and lost to a low blow. I honestly rather have it be a low blow and require DuBois to land a more decisive KO punch than that.Comment

Worth reminding folks that the "belt line" is not the actual belt of your trunks (since those can vary greatly in size and positioning), it's an imaginary line starting from the top of your hip bone.
I keep seeing people say the shot was on the borderline, but that's a pretty big f**king borderline if you ask me. The shot was low. Was it the lowest I've ever seen? Not by far, but to claim it was a legal body shot is plain wrong.Comment

Thing is soon as I saw the replay I thought it was easy to tell it was a legit body shot
This. His belly button is covered the entire fight. His belt is high like all fighters these days. Landing on the belt is landing on his navel area which is no where close to his balls.
Ward-Kovalev was way worse and that ref called it a stoppage... tired of these rigged fights.
Bet if usyk landed that same shot to stop dubois no eyebrows would've been raised loolComment
