No. Actually it's the opposite of what you say. He didn't take the body shots well at all. I am beginning to suspect this has been Usyks tactical trick throughout his career to protect his 'glass belly'.
I posted this before, he actually pulled he exact same move against Joshua and started hobbling around the ring for a timeout after a hard shot to the body. At the time it was questioned as 'borderline' but people gave him the benefit of the doubt, but in light of this it looks suspect.

Oh really? AJ hit him directly with a huge uppercut to the body in the first fight I believe it was. Then he hammered his body with a sustained attack in the rematch. Did Usyk go down or look seriously hurt by them? No. In fact, the body shots didn't even slow him down. He came out the next round reenergized and closed the last few rounds strong. Gassiev was targeting his body in their fight at cruiserweight. He also couldn't take his legs and he tried.

Haha get out of here. He fought himself all the way up to undisputed while keeping his weakness unexposed! The midsection!

Youre buying in way too much on what the commentary tells you. He ate BIG bodyshots from aj who put everything in there. Delboy had some succes as well in their early rounds.

Didnt like it. But who does? Nowhere did he do a bent over flop like from Delussional Dan's groin shot

And that video is all sturring shit. The shot was low, not even that hard. And he doesnt even wait for the ref to call it to hear if its seen aa low or not. It was low, just like dan's. If the ref didnt intervene he could have ortiz'd him mayweather style

Right. I forgot that Chisora also went to the body as well. Did Briedis? I don't recall if he did or not. Imagine calling an undefeated champion who has never been legitimately put down in the pros "glass bodied". Absolutely ridiculous. Like you said no fighter likes getting hit especially to the body. At heavyweight body shot stoppages are rare. He must not realize this. Not to mention many of Dubois "body shots" weren't even legal so of course they're going to hurt. It's not surprising.

I didn't know this was now the latest conspiracy. Boxing has just as much conspiratorial B.S as the War Room at this point.
Also, kind of surprising how many people outside of here buy into some of this nonsense.
God, if BlueBlood trash youtube channel says its clean, it makes me want to re-think my borderline stance and just call it a low blow. Lmao

A bit I think.
Briedis hated movers and for him guys who rushed for KO win vs him were more comfortable than lads attempted to score win on cards.
He AFAIK never had lost fight via stoppage in ams or pros, KB or boxing.
Briedis most likely attempted to get Usyk to go for stoppage IRL and after provoked to commit too much to counter him ( Briedis if hands in good shape does hit very hard...he is very damaging and sneaky in nuances ...not less hard than Povetkin if in normal shape not old variant. Brittle hands, very good gas tank. While as am boxer he wasn't Povetkin's or Holyfield or Usyk level. He more was converted kickboxer.

At least he didn't had shitted off result and ofc wanted next fight vs Usyk.
While he refused to do shittalk vs Usyk in pre fight;) in order to boost tickets sales, this too tells a lot.

Dubois vs Usyk.
I had watched stuff in this round with 1/4 speed.
IMHO it was low blow while I'm not sure that with initial intent.
 
If I put my trunks in a way that cover my whole body that´s okay ?
You can wear them at least this high.

Damn, ya’ll spent 13 pages arguing whether a man touched another man’s nut sack? That’s beyond sus.

but fr though, is boxing gonna get the soccer/basketball treatment soon?

this thread reminds me of Maidana biting floyd’s glove. That was a weirder thing to see everyone arguing about.
 
Basically if you are a fan of Usyk it was clearly low, no debate.

If you are not a fan of Usyk it was clearly legal and he milked it.

If you are neutral, you can say it was borderline and some angles are more damning than others.

It has less to do with angles and everything to do with where the initial point of contact was. The punch slides up his trunks after it lands. It was an uppercut though so that's normal. That's why in some photos it looks damning but not so much in others. The timing difference is why.
 
Joshua hit Usyk with the exact same punch in the same location and it was ruled a low blow. It didn't derail the fight but it was low and accepted as such. I'm not sure why these Brits are throwing uppercuts to the dick so much. Uppercuts to the body aren't often encouraged in general. We've all played FNC. Let's not be so naive.

Are you talking about that uppercut to the body in the first Joshua fight? I don't remember if it was low but I do remember him landing it on Usyk. I'll have to rewatch that fight and see.
 
Whatever people think, Usyk lost a lot of his prestige in this fight and Dubois even more so.

The decision could have been otherwise according to the judge (it's not clear cut, no matter what people are saying) and he would have almost certainly lost the fight.

Also, do you even imagine Mike Tyson staying on the ground like that for several minutes ? No boxing champion who ever had a lot of prestige during his career would have acted like that, not a single one, even if we consider the punch as a low blow (which is debatable).

As for Dubois, it's even worse, he got outclassed so badly after that and finally acted like in his other recent fights.
