Comments Thread For: Dubois Admits: I Became Disheartened, Lost Momentum After That Fifth Round

[James]

I need to quote Hrgovic: Frank (Warren), why are you producing only hype jobs?

[niceyboo3]

You quit again

The point is if that was a legit body shot, then he did his job. Quitting later is irrelevant. It looked okay to me and I've seen low blows. Ward on kovalev was low and I was cheering for Ward. You can't pause action for some punch so close to borderline. It's because it was Poland and Uysk had the Warsaw mustache. images (1).jpg Oh wait he was Russian...

Woe is me.... whether it was on the belt or not that's no excuse for losing every other round and quitting against someone half his size

I'm don't think you quite understand what the word "half" means.

Big quitter and sore loser.

What a freakin' clown.

Dude quit off a jab. Shot was low. Next.

I’ll have to watch it back but I don’t really remember Dubois complaining to the ref at the time or targeting the body more in the 5th round.

If he actually believed that it was a legit shot, he should have done one if not both of the above.

also, can’t really blame the ref when him and his team have been giving out interviews in the last week saying he has to fight dirty - can’t blame the ref for not giving him the benefit of doubt

Became disheartened and got knocked out.

Usyk did the opposite and turned the gears up and dismantled you.

[Willow The Wisp]

That was a career defining mistake to lose heart in the 5th.

Dubois got his shot, did well, suffered misfortune on that borderline shot call....and lost. Lost on his knee. It's done.

There is no more time for rematches if this heavyweight era is going to work itself to a satisfactory conclusion. We've had our fill of rematches!!!

Let's face it, ddd didn't hit usy k in the balls. The shot Ddd dropped usy k with happens all the time in fights and it's legal

The real issue is refs letting fighters get away with illegal shots, not the fact that this one got called (correctly). Also fighters usually wear their trunks well above their navel, which Usyk didn't, that is when refs typically give instructions about belt line shots being ok before the fight starts. Anything below the NAVEL is a low blow, you could see Usyk's navel at times throughout the fight, so if it was below the belt it wasn't by much. Just because Dubois thumb ended up in a grey area doesn't make the shot legal, it was 100% below Usyk's belly button and people are acting like getting hit 3 inches above your pecker by a 250 pound guy wouldn't hurt your balls? WTF?
