Oleksandr Usyk v Daniel Dubois

[KickMuck]

Ah yes you did change it, I'm fine with it being ruled low

Was higher, much higher than the blow that Ward caught Kovalev with and won as a KD

Yes but that's a pretty hehe low bar....

The body shot was legitimate and Usyk faked it with the ref falling for it.

Half on the waist band half below the waist band from the 1001 vids going around. Usyk has never struck me as a cheat or a man who pulls a Luis Sanatna come on. Refs discretion end of the day

Usyk has been put down with body shots in the past and is vulnerable to them. The punch landed on the stomach.

Ref was not going to go against the hometown champion. He compromised and gave the champ the chance to recover.

That being said Dubois was outclassed for the majority of the fight and was fortunate to get the title shot.

When Tyson Fury deals with his next silly event he will retire Usyk.

[Mark TKO]

Turned off straight after the stoppage and went to bed so didn't see all the carry on afterwards.

Didn't really think much of it during the fight and thought low blow when it first happened. After watching a few replays this morning am not so sure any more. Like football before VAR this has come down to the referees call. Could have gone either way and dubois could be champion. Annoyingly there'll now be a rematch which will be another seven months plus off meaning any chance of a fury fight a year and some away.

Dubois was outclassed in every department but has shown Usyk is vulnerable. Even fury may fancy it....

[Dark Lord Al]

I did say Dubois was garbage, he has power and that's it,
He is not even close to world level.

Usyk has gone down twice in the amateurs by a fierce puncher in Beterbiev and never in the pros in a total career spanning OVER 15 YEARS. Now suddenly he’s “Vulnerable” to body shots?
I would imagine that anybody who gets hit hard enough round the ribs and kidneys and perhaps bollocks might go down every so often.
Now you’re gonna turn this into some sort of weakness that future opponents should base their game plan on.
You’re beginning to sound like a very sore loser.
Now, onto your Fury opinion. Because Fury is so tall, it is more difficult for him to focus on Usyk’s body without crouching low and negating his size advantage . It’s an unnatural angle for him to generate any power through.
If it was somebody of say, Mike Tyson’s physique, that would be a different story.

Usyk does not have any other real weaknesses other than the lack of size at heavyweight. Dubois may not be a top heavyweight or of the calibre of Beterbiev but he can punch hard.

Tall boxers like Fury can land body shots and uppercuts. He will target the body and he will maul Usyk into the ground.
