A well-known American boxing coach sides with the British in the title fight with the Ukrainian.
Daniel Dubois correctly and legally hit Oleksandr Usyk in a title fight. This is what the famous American coach Roberto Garcia said.
According to the specialist, the whole secret was revealed with the help of one detail – the shorts of the Ukrainian champion. Like, in a duel they are above the navel, which is forbidden by the rules.
“I don’t think there’s any controversy here. I think it’s a legal hit. People don’t know that when the referee goes into the locker room, he announces the rules, explains everything and tells the fighters that he wants it. see their navels. If the fighters pull their shorts up and the referee can’t see the navel, they say belt punches are legal, I watched the video several times and I can’t see Usyk’s navel.
Everyone says it was not a low blow, because it hit right at the belt line, and Usyk’s belly button was not visible. If you can see his navel, the referee called it a low blow, because the hit was below the navel. But if you watch the video, you won’t see Usyk’s navel. That means the strike is legal,” Garcia said on YouTube channel Robert García Unfiltered.
It will be remembered that Usyk defeated Dubois by TKO in the ninth round.
Earlier, the WBA released an official statement regarding Dubois’ strike against Usyk in a title fight.
