I think Usyk is slowing down, he got a few gifts tonight.

He broke Dubois down well after the "low blow". Great knock out, at least we can start hoping for the fury fight now....... ............
Fury might be more interested after Usyk's performance. Let's see how he looks against Ngannou. Ngannou won't necessarily push him, but let's see how Fury prepares.
I don't think that was a low blow at all
Neither do I. Not sure if usyk used that extra time because the ref gave it to him or if he really needed it.
Hmm this clip has changed my mind regarding the low blow.
I still think it's a grey area.
I just kept thinking of the fight between Kovalev and André Ward
Either way I was surprised how much I enjoyed the fight and thought Dubios made a really good account of himself.
That’s fair. I thought Ward was hitting Kovalev low so I guess I’m reasonably consistent.
I noticed in the Jared Anderson fight later that the referee was very clear about where the belt line was and what was legal or not - I know they do this in all fights, but this seemed particularly explicit - I want to watch the start of the Usyk fight again and see what the ref says.
Judging from the Anderson fight though Dubios' punch was on the belt line which would be illegal.
Easy win for Hamza Sheeraz there
Kind of expecting an easy night for Usyk but hoping Dubois can put on a good show.
I expect Dubois to to get stopped in the second half.
Agree on that, can't see any way Dubois wins unless he gets a lucky shot, I just can't see Dubois landing clean though.
Great 12th round for Berinchyk and Yigit there.
I think that's gotta be the last chance for Yigit unfortunately, he looks past it, gave it everything in that last round
All depends at what level he’s will too fight at but you’re probably right.
