Boxing fans spotted a potential weakness in Oleksandr Usyk before he was downed with a controversial low blow on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n
Usyk defended his world titles against Daniel Dubios, when he stopped the Brit in the ninth having already dropped him before the decisive blow was landed.<\/p>\n
Before the Ukrainian had Dubois on the canvas, there had been controversy with Dubois landing a low blow on the champ. However, replays showed that the hit was borderline, and some fans were convinced Dubois should be the world champion.<\/p>\n
Usyk was given almost four minutes to recover from the blow – and fans spotted a similar situation in his bout with Anthony Joshua. <\/p>\n

"Joshua hurt Usyk so bad with a body shot he pretended it was low to buy time. Does he have a glass body, and can Dubois exploit it," one fan asked ahead of the bout. A second added: "Same shot, same place, same ref! Next person to fight Usyk has to go for the body and they win!"<\/p>\n
"Cats out the bag, Usyk not the model pro he\u2019s made out to be," a third said. And another added: "Usyk can\u2019t take body shots, so he cheats!"<\/p>\n

Dubois was fuming after the bell, and he claimed he was robbed of the world titles: "I didn't think that was a low blow.<\/p>\n
"I have been cheated out of victory, what else can I say? I have been cheated out, that was a win tonight, I will come again."<\/p>\n
While Dubois' promoter Frank Warren added: "He has been cheated out of it. That is all he worked on in camp, work to the body. The referee got it badly wrong… That was not a low blow, it is nonsense, total nonsense."<\/p>\n
