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.

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

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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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
 
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.

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

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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
Think he is finished soon. Fury is so smart he will take him out if they do it in January.
 
You think Fury is scared of Usyk? :lol: 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.

Like most boxers, Fury will be advised to maximise profit whilst minimising risk. If it was about sport they’d have fought already.

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
 
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.
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.

Please see the previous answer - it is spot on.
 
How do you know he doesn't want to?
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.

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.
