Comments Thread For: Dubois, Frank Warren Are Furious: That Was a Legal Blow, Dubois Cheated of Victory

[bullydean]

I would be mad about the ref and the count. The body shot got counted as a lowblow and Usyk got to rest, move on.
The problem I saw was that Dubois got up on the 9th second and did not look hurt, yet the ref immediately waved it off for no reason.

In the end Dubois did not have it in him to become champion. Usyk was no longer being defensive and Dubois clearly damaged Usyk with the body shot.

Why didn't you go for the KO?!!! If it was going to end in a KO then go for broke. Usyk is not that good on the inside so if Dubois had followed his gameplan of being rough then we might have seen a new champion.

Fury will mail usyk on the inside and he can dance with him in the outside too as long as he wants this an easy fight

Fish Eyes should focus on getting Dubois a medical exemption to wear knee pads in the ring.

Lol, he seems to need them.

But first he needs to find his balls to step in the ring with Usyk.

I get that we all love Usyk so much, and we all think he can beat Tyson Fury.

But there is no way in hell or heaven or any corner of this Earth that this was a low blow. There was literally nothing low about that punch. Absolutely nothing. The fact that we all know Usyk is better the Dubois, more skilled in practically every way possible...we can all agree that the BETTER man won tonight. That is not the debate.

But what I'm not going to do is act like that punch Dubois landed on Usyk that had him out for a few minutes, was somehow "low" because it literally wasn't. The better man won tonight, but not the RIGHT man. Everyone can lie to themselves and claim it was a lowblow, but anyone who is honest with themselves will admit that was a CLEAN perfect body shot.

It was a helluva lot better than the low blows that Andre Ward landed on Kovalev to end their fight. That much I am sure of. Dubois punch was a close call, though it did look slightly low.

Fishy tears are the saltiest.

An obvious low blow. You have eyes, use them. Easy.

Let's be honest, Usyk was out boxing Dubois but that punch was on the belt, that's legal.
I've slept on it, rewatched, seen the conclusive photography & i can't believe there's still trolls saying it was low.
Dubois was robbed of his legacy last night but at 25 he can come again.
Makes me sick the corruption in the so called sport.

Dubois scored a hole in one & a mole pushed the ball out again.

On the belt is legal.

[Bob]

But it doesn't matter whether or not it was a low blow "to you." What matters is whether it was a low blow according to the rules of boxing.

On the belt is legal in the rules of boxing

[Bob]

Those who claim the shot was legal don't understand the rule. It's a foul if you hit below the belt. The belt being an imaginary line from the top of the hips to the navel. This is independent of where the trunks are, though the trunk shouldn't go above this, in pro boxing they usually allow but the referee marks where it is allowed and where not prior to the fight.
Half the glove lands under the belt with the upper part of the glove landing on the belt. The whole glove lands under the navel/top of the hips. Clear low blow.

To clarify: The shot is not on the balls but that doesn't make it a legal blow.

It was on the belt above the guard. That's legal
