To give usky benefit of the doubt ref let him rest

[SweetPbfAli]

Same ref for the AJ fight when AJ landed what appeared to be a nice body shot and the ref reprimanded him.

Strap a cup on and get your heftiest bro to uppercut you on the waistband.

Then get back and tell us how OK it felt ?

Waistband is legal. Its clearly covering his naval.

Seems to me some people just cant handle the fact a brilliant boxer like Usyk got nailed by a quitter like Dubois and should've been counted out.

Its like they have built up Usyk to be this all time great, so they're In denial that he got wrecked by a body shot by someone like Dubois.

Maybe should have given him the count, maybe not...

...but I believe Usyk would have beat the count, clinched and ran til his nads stopped aching then done exactly what he was doing to Dubois all night for the same result.

Usyk was having a spasm on the floor, his arms were literally shaking like he had no control of them and he was down for 4 minutes.

Doesn't really sound like a guy that couldve jumped up and started clinching straight away...

That was a sickening body blow, and even if landed 2 inches higher it would hurt. I think usy k discovered what heavyweight division is all about from this punch and there's weight classes for a reason

He wasn't getting up
.
Even his arms were going into a spasm

Do you know what causes that? Trauma from impact to the BODY

usyk was done.

Body punches don't typically cause spasms in the arms.

Usyk arms were trembling as a reaction to the intense pain of being hit full force, below the belt, by a HW power puncher.

I reckon he would have got up and survived the rest of the round if Pabon had started a count. The guy has the heart of a lion and the survival instincts of a silver fox. We've seen how he reacted to being badly hurt by both body punches and low blows as an amateur. He would have got up, got on his bike, and taken a knee to ride out the storm if Dubois had caught up with him.

Somebody has been picking cherries.

If the waistband had been legal the referee would have said so during the pre-fight instructions.

If the ref doesn't say that punches to the waistband are ok, then punches to the waistband are not ok. That's the way it works.

Usyk calling his own timeouts every time Dubois landed a bodyshot was not a good look...
