Ref for Usyk-Dubois was the most biased ref I seen in a long time

[elfag]

- responds immediately to any complaint or call made by Usyk

- constant warnings to Dubois for punches on the belt

- bad call for a clean legal body shot in the 5th

- Even when Usyk said hes ready kept telling Usyk to take more time, dude youre not his ***ing coach you are supposed to be unbiased

- continued warnings to Dubois for further shots on the belt which are all legal shots, effectively stopping Dubios only winning strategy.

- the final stoppage Dubios made it up in 10 and could continue. He didnt even look at Dubios very much or let him walk to him talk to him or anything, immediately waved it off

- after his stoppage call, immediately runs over to Usyk to embrace and congratulate him. Youre supposed to be unbiased. If anything go look at Dubios and make sure hes ok, after all according to you he wasnt medically fit to continue the fight, where was the concern post fight?



This is all coming from a Usyk fan who had no reason to think Dubios would have any chance and wants the unification fight to happen, I have no reason to be biased here but this fight and ref stank. I hate to see boxing like this.

Dubois quit man, Getting up at 9.5 isn't beating the count. It's quitting. Always has been.


Telling Usyk "take more time" was bloody ridiculous though. I thought he did that because they were drying the ring or something, but nope. Slippery as ****.


did you miss the Rollie title win?

Dubois should have gotten off his knees at the 7 count and didn't seem too fussed about the fight getting called off.

He didn't want anothet bar of Usyk.

Getting up at 9.5 seconds is within the rules you can take a break if you want and use all 10 seconds. Then the ref is required to evaluate the fighters condition, which the ref did none of that and ruled it off immediately.

I am not saying at all that Dubios wasnt frustrated or that he would win but the manner of the stoppage is just 1 of 7 different actions of the ref all showing tremendous bias for Usyk.

[Mr Giggles]

Definitely on the payroll of Usyk, complete robbery

[deathofaclown]

Usyk was reffing the fight himself in there and got knocked out

Still, as much as I feel for Dubois getting shafted there, he just hasn't got the heart.

In a way you could say its good Dubois isn't champ because Fury would take his belts very easily.

But fair is fair and Dubois knocked Usyk out to the body and should be champion now.

Usyk could not stand up from a legal shot. he should have lost by a KO IMO.

He quit. Had the first KD not been at 2:59 I doubt he would have got up for that. On his hands and knees talking to his corner.

Ref waived it off and Dubois looked relieved and went to his corner. Now they want to argue?

I dont think Dubios is championship material either but fair is fair he pulled off the upset or should have with correct reffing, which is why I feel bad for him. He probably wouldnt even win the rematch assuming they have the standard rematch clause but he should have been given his moment to shine.

Dubois was done mentally. He's a big tough guy with a soft little heart.

Pabon is and always was horrendous.
