So....was it a low blow??
 

Britain's Daniel Dubois wants to "get justice" after his heavyweight world-title
loss to champion Oleksandr Usyk.

Seen as a huge underdog, Dubois floored Usyk in the fifth round in Poland
but it was deemed a low blow and Usyk was given almost four minutes to
recover.

The Ukrainian, 36, then won by knockout in the ninth round but Dubois said
"this wrong needs to be corrected".

"This needs to go further, it needs to be pushed," the 25-year-old told BBC
Sport's Ade Adedoyin.

"I should be a world champion right now. It wasn't justice.

it wasn't a low blow

on the belt as plain as daylight

absolute travesty

It doesn’t matter if it was low or not
I wanted Dubois to win but he is not at world level yet and may never be
He is a nice guy and you have to turn nasty in the ring

The way to beat usyk is to bully him, smother him don’t let him fight his fight

It was an absolutely perfectly timed shot. Would Usyk have gotten up? Probably. So he cant be claiming it cost him the world title.:nono:

So....was it a low blow??
 

The ref warned Dubois FOUR times about low blows .. plus the rule is below the NAVEL is illegal- nothing to do with the belt ( that’s just a generalisation) .

Given Usyk wears his shorts lower than anyone else it suggests that the blow was WELL below the navel ..

Also the ref goes into each dressing room just before the fight and relays his expectations to each fighter plus he points where a shot will classed as a low blow ..

Dubois's representative Don Charles is all over the media today .. saying that Usyk was thinking of quitting and he faked the pain ..how can he know that ffs

was it because he is from Ukraine?

shorts way up over belly button, punch no where near his wedding tackle

It’s nothing to do with the family jewels though
The area above the groin is also illegal

Carl Froch on the Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois body shot/low blow controversy: “For me, yes, it was a low blow. If it's below the naval, then it's a low blow. It doesn't have to be directly in the gonads for it to be a low blow… Whether it's intentional or not, the shot was low, the referee did the right thing.” [Froch On Fighting]

lets face it, if he got a full throttle punch in the gonads, he wouldn't get up :laugh:

Froch has a feud going with Dubois promoter so meh

So....was it a low blow??
 

But 99.9999 % of the people supporting the Dubois claim are Brits


Also Usyk was hit by loads of body shots that night and only that low one hurt him .

Nuff said

More footage ..

Any contact below the navel is deemed illegal

95% of the glove is below the navel and it’s travelling upwards !!

all the comments to that tweet beg to differ...

Presumably all biased Brits though

The footage is the conclusive part

Tony Bellew , Carl Froch and now Savannah Marshall all say it’s low

All English and world champions but not connected to Dubois
