Round-by-Round: Oleksandr Usyk vs. Daniel Dubois - 26 August 2023

[Grilling Machine]

I refuse to call it a quit if you were up by 10 facing the ref.. I dont think he wanted to continue but he did get up in time and faced up to the ref.

Yep. I don't think he wanted to continue, but beating the count's beating the count.

I suppose there are circumstances where the ref can infer a lack of desire makes continuation dangerous, but that's on the fighter or corner to make that call for him. When a fighter's not obviously gone, I mean.

[Redback Rasta]

It's low. Move on.

[dookus]

Fisheyes ranting about the low blow controversy in the ring. Didn't he do pretty well off Hatton getting away with something similar against Tszyu?

Are we going to rule out the possibility that if the ref started counting when Usyk went down that Usyk just gets up and manages the next few rounds to recover?

What did everyone see that suggests that Dubois would give Usyk a 5 minute pummelling following the shot?

[rd350lc]

If your balls are up there you have fuckin big ones

[Grilling Machine]

Usyk's covering hand would've made that look lower from a lot of angles.

yep people always do that, same thing with tyson-douglas and the long count

and ffs 2/3 of dub's glove was below the beltline, how is that not low

This is the main thing that proves that everyone saying Dubois should be champ is being biased because they wanted Dubois to win.

[handsofstone]

That's twice Dubois done with a jab

[grannyman]

It was below the beltline. 100%

Nope

Was the whole of his glove above Usyk's shorts?

He was holding his balls, pretending he was hurt in his balls. Is that different from a footballer’s dive?

[Twinkle Toes]

No idea what Dubois team is smoking.

Clearly low and not a body shot, ref was instantly on it. The replay and static pics say it all. What we saying, it was only semi low so it doesn't count as a low blow and is a legitimate body shot

[veriton]

Dubois beats AJ, that much is clear now

looks like some people are buying into it though

should be the champ on a shot with over half his glove below the belt line!!

It's low. Some of the stills are a few frames different and show the fist a little higher. At the point of impact it's as clear as your hate of the unions in the early 80's.

I disagree with this. I’m no AJ fan, but he was excellent in that second fight, but beaten by someone even better.

i gave aj 4 rounds last usyk fight, only 1 to dubs this time plus he was stopped

His comparative weakness to bodyshots historically and his big reaction to it. Maybe he'd have been able to cover up and ride out Dubois' assault, but none of us know.

[jwfg]

Nope

Have you ever been in a boxing ring and been punched really hard in the protective equipment?

Nope. But I wouldn’t hold my balls.

Ermm no thats why I can make a critical judgement. Unlike for example...you.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Usyk control the fight from start to finish overall.
