Comments Thread For: Dubois Trainer Says Controversial Punch on Usyk Was 'Long Ways From the Balls'

[_Rexy_]

That's the irony of it all. Not once did Oleksandr ever grabbed his balls once he got hit in the abdomen. He doubled over and touched the canvas. However, he never once favored his crotch or groin area.

Which makes him a total and complete bitch. He laid on the canvas for more than two minutes in order to show Dubois up because he was hurt and attempted to win by disqualification.

When you attempt to win by DQ, you don’t get up and tell the ref “I’m good to go.”

just saying. Only one guy quit, and it wasn’t Usyk.

Pretty sure the trainer knows better and is taking his appeal to the ignorant masses. This seems to be an effective modern method.

Dubois is a poor man's Hughie Fury.

It doesn't have to be a punch in "the balls" to be a low blow.
Anything below the belly button line is a low blow (illegal).

[turnedup]

You can show folks from a million angles that it was a low blow and they’ll still show their agenda or bias. Just say you don’t like the guy, at this point it’s the only thing that literally makes sense. This has been analyzed to death in slow mo, screen grabs and it always comes back as low…

uysk definitely wasn't hit the balls unless his nuts haven't dropped. it wasn't low either! the punch was right on the belt line. To me that was legal punch. uysk is vulnerable to body shots and he hates them! dubois landed several other body shots that had uysk looking over at the ref complaining like a b!tch!!! Not a good look for uysk.

Why do all of you casuals keep insisting that the balls themselves is the only area that can be a low blow? IT'S BELOW THE NAVEL, READ THE DAMN RULES.

[Monty Fisto]

Did the ref explain before the fight that he would only call low blows if it was right on the nuts? Didn't think so.

The blow was visibly was low and by the rules Usky was entitled to a break. Dubois went low in round two drawing a face from Usky as if to say stop it, and did so again in round three. It has been ages since I sparred but a cup guard can side on you. You do not want to be hit there by a 230 pound heavyweight that can punch.

[hugh grant]

Ill say it was low. There was no need for Ddd to aim there. Especially when usyk was complaining to ref already. This like golota v bowe
