Just watched the fight.
Daniel got screwed in the fifth with that body blow that sent Usyk down. And the ref siding with Usyk for the other body punches that Usyk didn't agree with.
From the AJ fights and this, it looks like one key to victory is to target the Usyk's body.
I guess the ref wanted to guarantee he made it home alive

Like most Eastern Euro fighters, Usyk can’t take a body shot. Referee clearly stepped in in his favor and it’s not the first time.

Popchenko doesn't do a very good job of coaching his guys how to absorb or get out of the way of body shots. Go look at the Loma/Haney fight.

European cacs showing their dishonorable ways once again.



I wish I could go back in time and convince Deontay Wilder to take up boxing earlier. He was able to become champ even with his limitations. If he grew up in this sport and developed his skills from the start, these honkies would have never gotten to this far smh.
