Former light middleweight champion and current commentator Sergio Mora commented on the victory of the owner of WBA, WBO and IBF titles in the heavyweight division Alexandra Usika (21-0, 14 KOs) over Daniel Dubois (19-2, 18 KOs).
“Do I think that Daniel deserved to win? No, Usyk dominated. It wasn't a low blow. Usyk won honestly and rose like a champion. Did he use the rules to his advantage? Absolutely, like many other cunning fighters.
That's why Usyk is a great champion. He had over 3 minutes to recover from a hard hit, and that's Pabon's fault. Usyk had to get up. If you studied his amateur career, you could see that he had problems after body shots.
Joshua gave him the same blow to the body. You could say that Dubois and his coach were betting on this shot, but it worked against them," Mora said in an interview with DAZN.
Usyk knocked out Dubois in the ninth round. The fight took place on August 26 in Wroclaw, Poland.
