Comments Thread For: Johnny Nelson: It Was Not a Low Blow, But I Don't Think Dubois Would've Won

That is true, Cortez himself has also been questionable during fights.
Yesterday suddenly Mills Lane came to my mind, I wonder how he would have called this...

Dubois had subsequent rounds to capitalize on Usyk's discomfort, but instead QUIT. He Quit against Joyce and Quit Saturday. Nothing to see here, folks.

He’s referring to the time when Victor Ortiz intentionally head butted Floyd Mayweather in the mouth and then tried to hug and kiss him after Cortez took a point(should have taken two points) and had already instructed the fighters to resume boxing. While attempting to hug and kiss for a second time Mayweather caught him with a 1-2 and Victor Ortiz went down and, in my opinion, pretended that he couldn’t get up in hopes that he could get Mayweather dq’d or at least cause a fake controversy. “Where’s the ref, where’s the ref” was Ortiz’s corner’s desperate attempt to do the same. If you think Cortez should be in question for what happened in that fight it says a lot more about you than it does about him.

it was a low blow. called a low blow. Dubois got easily handled. Dubois quit. crazy how Usyk has moved all the way up to the big boys and even makes em quit. WOW impressive

[Zaroku]

I think the ref made a decision and now, as we watch in slow motion Spoon32

I thought it was a judgement call a man made, that’s all.

I do this to myself over trivial things

"Where's the ref!? Where's Cortez!?"

Name the fight. It will make you question Cortez's credibility.

It's not low blow. Can't have fighters crying every time they hit with bodyshots. Can't get measuring tape out during fight? If usyk thought that was low, his shorts were obviously not high enough.
And I wanted usy k to win, but it was controversial in that we don't know what would've happened if ref started count. I'm glad usy k won, but if result is no contest I got no problem

It's difficult to determine IF Usyk would have beaten the count if he had to . He says if the referee had stated counting he would have got up but he was there for going on four minutes , shaking his head , either acting or hurt , we'll never know BUT it's plain to see he doesn't take them well to the bread basket!

[hitmanjosh]

What the hell Johnny talking about, had it been ruled correctly he would have stopped his asS!

[Combat Talk Radio]

Go look back at the video. At about 20 seconds, Usyk makes an effort to try and get up. He can't and immediately shakes his head at his corner that he can't. He does this several times (shaking his head at his corner) while he's down.
He would never have beaten the count.

BTW. Joe Cortez has said that the punch looked legal to him
