    Low blow or clean shot?

    The Usyk V Dubois fight has turnied into a viral controversy for very valid points.

    Many aspects to unravel but I would opt for the responses to unravel the aspects in the thread.

    Do you think Dubois' punsh in round 5 was a low blow or clean?

    I think it was a perfectly clean shot.

    Only Usyk knows really. Different angles show a different story but in real time it certainly didn't look obviously low so whatever way you look at it Usyk basically called it. The ref was incidental. He might as well not have been there.

    Although do believe Usyk when he says he would have got up if the ref counted.

    Then again Dubois would probably have finished him if that happened.

        Seems there's a correlation between the people who think it wasnt low and them being Fury lovers.

        I did at first think it was legal, but after seeing the evidence, it was clearly not. I can't really understand why you would think it still is after seeing the images and the reaction (in comparison to the 50 other body lunches DDD landed.)

        Why can't boxing fans just be honest instead of having ulterior motives? Don't we just want to see people fight?

          What's confusing is he hit the belt, so was the trunks too low?

            Great question. I haven't thought about it.

              I'm sure usy k thought it was low at the timeas it hurt so damn much at the time. But in a private moment watching slo mo vids, usy k might feel he's used up one of his nine lives if he was a cat.

                That's how I see it well said man.

                In real time it looked very clean. The way Usyk reacted definitely did influence and pretty much dictate the ref's call too.

                Yeah i feel if it had been a count, Dubois would have went for the kill on a hurt Usyk.

                  You are definitely off with your assumption on 'Fury lovers' .

                  There are many with legit honest opinions who think the contrary, doesn't mean they are 'Fury lovers', what kind of assumption is that, you are off bud.

                    The thing about it is that usyk's trunks were quite above his belly button while they were fighting and when he got hit, which is why this is so controversial.
