Dont see Usyk being complacent for this but im interested to see how he gets on. He is 36 now, those camps are getting harder and he is going to start slowing down a bit. Those championship rounds where he goes into overdrive are going to be harder to maintain. Im sure fury will be looking for signs aswell.

Cant see Dubois pulling an upset but you never know i guess. Rooting for Usyk though, special talent.

 

[T00lsh3d]

Enjoying this fight so far, Dubois just destroyed Usyks testicles

 

[cyberman]

This is a robbery, that wasn’t low.

 

[Withnail]

Usyk taking the piss there

 

[Habs]

Looked on the belt to me?

 

[JP77]

Yeah didn’t look low at on the replay, feel like Dubois has been robbed there.

 

[P-Nut]

Yeah didn't look low at the time, looked even clearer on the replay

 

[tyunited]

I didn't think that was low. Right on the belt. Cup is high also.

 

[Habs]

Yep, Dubois should’ve won the fight with that. Big error by the ref

 

[JP77]

Never in a million years is anybody convincing me that Usyk gets close to beating Fury. He would be dominated.

 

[pocco]

Dubois robbed

 

[Withnail]

Dubois needs to keep going to the body judging by that

I never thought there was a chance he beats Fury.

 

[pocco]

Nah been saying this too. Fury knows it too, why should he be rushing to fight these guys? He'd beat them all comfortably.

I think he heard you

 

[Dobba]

Load of arse gravy being spouted about Dubois being robbed. There's no way Usyk stays down for 10 there if the ref started counting.

Probably not but he wouldn't have gotten 4 minutes to recover.

No, but he would have had to continue fighting for a full round.

He had about 5 minutes and still looked gassed. He'd have been in trouble.

Had three or four minutes to recover which he should never have had. Absolutely terrible from the referee and pretty shit from Usyk pretending it was a low blow.

 

[LDUred]

Pabón dodgy as feck, protecting Usyk.

 

[Dobba]

See if the press can whinge enough controversy for a rematch, this has been fun.

You don't see many boxers getting up from a body shot that put them down.

 

[JP77]

Robbery but not a surprise. Good boxer but certainly one of the most overrated the heavyweight division has seen in a long time imo. He’s taken all of the right match ups so far at Heavyweight, very smart.

 

[Dan_F]

They certainly don’t want to show a replay of the low blow do they. Think we only saw it once.

Lovely right hand to finish it though.

 

[Dobba]

You don't see many boxers getting up from a body shot that put them down.

He's sat there talking to the referee, not curled up in the recovery position. If the 'controversy' leads to another fight, sign me up for that.

 

[massey]

Dubois robbed wasn't a low blow on the belt line and he wasn't getting up at all.

 

[Kazi]

Usyk probably would’ve got up if the ref counted but the rest of the round would’ve been interesting.. Dubois can feel robbed

Dubois was knackered by the end and wanted no more

Also Fury dominates Usyk

 

[Withnail]

They certainly don’t want to show a replay of the low blow do they. Think we only saw it once.

They showed it three times and the commentators were very clear that it was on the belt.

For 5 mins... You try talking to someone after getting hit in the balls.

 

[T_Model101]

Bradley on commentary is right, Dubois mentally checked out

 

[Abraxas]

Extremely poor reffing. Who knows what would have happened there, can't say DD would have definitely won but it's clear Usyk felt that and it was on the belt, and also clear he had a strategy from the first bell to point to the ref any time body shots went in.

Disappointing that DD does seem to have a bit have quit in him. He did really well technically tonight. Just ran out of steam and I think confidence he could then land the required shot so he lost heart as a result.

 

[pocco]

I think it shows the lack of talent at HW. And what a joke AJ was. How Usyk is parading around the HW division is an embarrassment really. Great fighter, but he isn't a HW.

 

[Dobba]

Now comes Fury chirping about the low blow, only to come up with another bunch of excuses for why he won't be fighting him.

 

[rimaldo]

you plebs still watching boxing like it’s not all part of a big marketing show. dubois wining never made sense, so it didn’t happen. they’re chasing that saudi money now and need narratives and stories to sell. dubois doesn’t do that yet.

 

[pocco]

He didn't get hit in the balls. Even if it was low on the belt, it wasn't his balls. His belt was high to begin with.

 

[fergies coat]

Was borderline for me. Could of gone either way.

 

[pocco]

Now comes Fury chirping about the low blow, only to come up with another bunch of excuses for why he won't be fighting him.

Probably for Usyks own good really.

 

[altodevil]

I missed this. Dubois KO'd Usyk?? Just seen the punch, if that's a low blow then his cock must be fully erect and 15inches long.

 

[Dobba]

Probably for Usyks own good really.

Even Fury doesn't believe that, hence the excuses come contract time. More chance of the winner of KSI/Tommy Fury calling out Usyk with any intention of fighting him than that gobshite.
