Unless your bollocks are at elbow height then he's just got fecked from a body shot. What's worse is he was visibly shaking from it.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
TNT Sports lost its mind. Usyk took the time the ref allocated to him. Don’t think it was a low blow, but that doesn’t mean Usyk wouldn’t have otherwise continued if he had to.
Doesn't have to hit your bollocks to be a low blow.
Think he is finished soon. Fury is so smart he will take him out if they do it in January.
I agree he didn't, was responding to the previous post.
You think Fury is scared of Usyk?
Even Fury doesn't believe that, hence the excuses.
He'll fight Klitschko, Wilder and other fighters that can genuinely hurt him, but not some blown up cruiser?Why doesn't he fight him then? For an apparent piss easy fight for all the belts, a shit ton of money and retiring with an Undisputed reign on the CV he doesn't half come up with excuses when it's go time.You think Fury is scared of Usyk?
Technically both very good. The problem for Usyk is that Fury is a man mountain with the same technical prowess and more power. Only one outcome. Like they say, a good big man beats a good smaller man.
Like most boxers, Fury will be advised to maximise profit whilst minimising risk. If it was about sport they’d have fought already.You think Fury is scared of Usyk?
So frustrating because he did so much better than I was expecting him to. He actually caused Usyk major problems, then just as you could actually see him having a chance, he tailed off and gave up
I think Usyk is excellent but he's showing signs of being over the hill for me. Fury wins all day if he's switched on. Am tired though of these super fights being avoided and Fury takes his full share of blame there. He's just clever and gonna get a huge Saudi payday in January.
How do you know he doesn't want to?
Please see the previous answer - it is spot on.
Look at the last bunch of negotiations. Usyk accepted the 30/70 purse for a Wembley fight only for Fury to come up with some absolute shite about any rematch (including one where he's the challenger) being at best a 50/50 split.
Fury knew no boxer on the fecking planet is walking into an Undisputed title defence for half the purse.
Slightly different angle on this one. It does look a little low to me.
If that's the case, what's the problem? Usyk gets a pay day too. I think it goes without saying that the money average business side has been a major factor for many years. If there's a reason Fury wouldn't have took the fight already, my guess would be money.
Perhaps Usyk is the problem and he's looking for money? Who knows. Just makes me laugh that Fury gets the blame.

Fury is after the January payday from Saudi - 100 mill instead of 20. It really is as simple as that and why the fight is so long in the making.
During the fight and up until they interviewed Dubois, it was only shown once on my feed.
Fair enough. My stream is ESPN and they showed it a few times. They also showed it on the big screen there during the interview with Dubois so they don't seem to be trying to hide anything.
Fair enough if so. Warren claims it's actually Usyk that wants the payday. I don't know the actual reason or who is to blame (we're all just guessing or choosing whose story to believe), and it doesn't really matter to me because I'm of the belief that these guys should get as much as they can for what they do.
Legacy? The other 3 (or is it 4) titles?
That was not a low blow. That was absolutely perfect. Usyk is so lucky to get away with that. Contact is more or less on his naval.
Shame that Dubois didn't have the conditioning to win this fight, but he was in with one of the best in the regard. I thought the coverage was very pro-Usyk, Dubious was having more success than was being highlighted with body shots that were clearly hurting him.
Dubious could possibly pick up a title in a few years but he definitely needs to increase his stamina in my opinion.

A low blow doesn't mean your bollocks. It's below your belly button or waist and that was probably below.

Just seen this picture and yes that's a low blow every single time.
If that's a low blow then so was Andre Ward vs Kovalev who everyone at the time said was legal.
That isn't the point of contact.
That's not the point of contact, there is a video from that angle making its way around twitter.
I thought it looked low. Anyway, Usyk is brilliant but he can only go so far at heavyweight. I don’t think he has a chance against Fury or even Wilder.
It was definitely low. it wasn't Galota low but low none the less.
Still find it surprising so many still underestimate Usyk so much, the idea that Fury or any other heavyweight can just walk over him seems strange to me. Wilder is probably a worse match up for him than Fury

man that was totally a low blow. Ward was a renowned dirty fighter, damn effective at it though and cute enough not to get caught or keep it borderline.I know, I think somebody else mentioned hitting him in the bollocks, which also looked like what Usyk was claiming when he was down. Also, his belt was high at the time anyway, think it was above his belly button.
I think he'd play with Wilder like a cat does with it's prey. Wilder is such a limited boxer, Usyk would run around him for 12 rounds and win on points.
Think he's only interested for the right money now isn't he. He'll forever and a day be challenged by the next guy and the next guy.
Has anybody watched the Fury series on Netflix? It does open your eyes a bit to his state of mind. He's clearly not a well guy mentally and his bipolar seems pretty bad, I know people with bipolar and he seems a lot worse with it. Think he probably struggles not having medication to 'level him out' a bit. It does show you though how up and down he is, seems in turmoil in his head half the time.
I think you’ve got to question how Dubois dipped out this time. He essentially stayed down from a jab.
There should be a ref check that the naval is showing prior to fight. Ridiculous how high the shorts looked
Yeah he quit on this one, galling considering he’d crafted himself a massive opportunity for a huge upset, but you could see on his face he no longer fancied it in the deep waters.
Classic British media making something major out of something minor. Making it out it was hugely controversial.
Usyk won every round other than the one he got bodied in the crotch.

Yeah the shorts are tailored to their chest size and not waist size. It's feckin ridiculous.
