foreveryoung Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Ref loves him, probably shit scared to give anything to Dubois with 99% Ukraine and Polish there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fighters hate to be questioned in that way and there are big questions on whether he'd have gotten up from that - there are lots and lots of people that think Dubois should have been Champion right there. Good for them, but he isn't. At the end of the day Usyk was lucky but Dubois just wasn't good enough. If he was he'd have jumped all over Usyk and not allowed him to recover. Instead he folded as soon as Usyk stepped on the gas. Mike Tyson had Buster Douglas down for over 13 seconds before getting knocked out a round later. Shit happens.

In all fairness, he couldn’t jump all over him, because Usyk was bitching on the floor for the best part of three minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 2-3 minutes recovery time for a perfectly legal knockdown. Robbed all night long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the first time in boxing, Tyson v Douglas, Fury v Wilder and Benn v Maclellan. It's not right, but there not going to change the outcome. Scandalous to call that a low blow.

Whether you use the allotted time is the corners/fighters decision. It's the same in the UFC I think for low or illegal blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren and the Dubois camp will kick up a stink in the hope they can get their fighter more money. In fairness, that might be welcomed by the Usyk camp - they know they can't beat Fury, they're miles off it - a rematch and a chance to right the wrong might be a good money-spinner for them while they fend off the inevitable.

sheepyvillian Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 It reminded me of Bruno v Witherspoon . As soon as the Dubois got tired, Usyk just put his foot on the pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
