Comments Thread For: Warren Says He Would Have Liked To See Dubois Get Up From Second Knockdown To Usyk

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Frank Warren is adamant in his belief that Daniel Dubois was unfairly disadvantaged by referee Luis Pabon's decision to deem a pivotal punch as a low blow during his controversial fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

I haven't seen the fight, although if DD went down from a jab like the article say then he may need to move on from boxing. He's been down 5x in his last 2 fights. Not even old Frankie can spin that in a positive way.

Dubois definitely lacks heart, when the going gets tough he folds.

Yes, I know boxing is tough but when fighters don't get up I wonder exactly what it is? Did the jab concuss him? Did it hurt too much? Was he too tired? I know ddd don't need to reveal details, but he will be called quitter!
I won't call him quitter but I'm just thinking why don't you get up and hit him in stomach some more?

Ddd's eyes tell the whole story. He clearly felt he had nothing more for Usyk by then. He was disenchanted and possibly tired. Hurt I don't think. He simply understood that the task was too high for him.

i gave him the benefit of doubt against Joyce but this one?? hate saying but just think he gave up

[alexjust]

Warren and Dubois' trainer did a great disservice to Dubois's reputation by allowing him this delusional whining. Dubois should have fought on and jumped on Usyk, but he said he was "disheartened". This is a pathetic level of weakness for this sport. Dubois does not deserve to be a world champion, was it a low blow or not. Usyk showed heart and grit whether he has taken the situation to his advantage or not. The right man won that night.

if that uppercut on the waistband was a "low blow", imagine Usyk fighting Golota. lol The ref was very biased.

Usyk does not even hit hard and the punch that Dubois went down from seemed pretty light. Would not be surprised if he was paid to take a dive and the low blow thing is just a distraction. There was no way Usyk was losing that fight when they have to keep the "war" going.

Yes, I think he knew he didn't have energy to do what he wanted to do, whether that be to attack usyk, or evade incoming punches both of which require energy
