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

[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.

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.

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…

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).

Dubois is a poor man's Hughie Fury.

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

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.

In the nuts or nothing, apparently.

Anything below the belt line is low unless a fighter is wearing his trunks up to his ears. Dubois ko shot lol…clearly landed on the belt line.

Any of you who keep using the “anything below the belly button” comment needs Boxing 101.
