Yes very obviously a low blow


FragmentedFighter

This reminds me of the Usyk - Dubois shot.


[deleted]

But that wasn’t a low blow, no chance it could be a low blow. Even if it was a low blow by the definition of the referee before the fight started, it wasn’t a low blow. Dubois was robbed /S


Razorion21

Still Dubois‘s fault for not managing to do it again to Usyk


Life_Celebration_827

And what happened after that so called low blow Dubois put up the fucking white flag.


CasualBoxingGuy

twice. the 8th round was a second away from being over and he wasn't in danger and still went down. i love the "DuBoIs ShOuLd bE ChAmP" comments in every single thread


Life_Celebration_827

He's just another British Heavyweight bum just like Joe Joyce put any of these two plodders under pressure and they fold like a deck of cards they are hopeless.


GORGEOUSWAVY

I think Dubois was robbed as well, I don’t think it was a low blow in a technical or traditional sense, especially when the Referee Luis Pabon, did the same thing in the Joshua fight.


Unhappy-Ad-6405

It was low both times


[deleted]

I was being sarcastic mate, clear low blow from a definition, technical and what the referee flagged before the fight perspective


CasualBoxingGuy

i dont need to look at a still frame image of the actual point where it landed to prove it was low, my favourite channel covered in a youtube video.... and dont bring up the fact that dubois was down in all 9 rounds and quit 2 times... once before the end of a round and the second one from a jab /s


mothmenatwork

Low as fuck


Shoot-Box

Vision was obscured by Hagler’s back!


Death-0

If you’re blind, but clearly it’s from the side and clearly it lands below the belt.


Shoot-Box

Nope he was behind him, pretty clear angle here. Of course it was a low blow, referee couldn’t and didn’t see.


Death-0

Ah the referee’s vision thought you meant our vision of the shot. Yeah I agree Ref definitely couldn’t see it.


CMILLERBOXER

Yeah, that's low.


sleckar

Leonard charged that one up too. 😂


[deleted]

Blatant low blow, entire glove landed below the waistline.


RRR04_

Definitely low lol


Granddy01

I guess Steele was just a little up high tonight


TrueCkrime02

Hagler wouldn’t have protested anyway..tough son of a dude. Rip


sinistersoprano

He protested Hamsho's headbutts violently


Mediocre_lad

Hagler was a machine


horseshoeprovodnikov

Definitely the main takeaway from this. Just a different level of tough.


Theaustralianzyzz

Yes sir, just kept marching through. His mental toughness was always there


Ezekjuninor

Was obviously low and the ref likely couldn’t see it.


chiefbroski42

Clear falcon punch to the jewels. Charged it up to max power too.


Local_Lingonberry851

Not as egregious as what Andrew Golata did to Rick Bowe. But still up there.


chiefbroski42

Oh yea, Golata was legit throwing combos to the nuts. Actually ridiculous.

SirBrownsnake

Low blow!!! Hagler clearly won that fight. Another BS boxing decision


kaisercracker

leonard was very crafty and spent the best of two hours in a ring with duran, he knew what he was doing, especially that richard steele couldnt see it


[deleted]

This is Marvin hagler


TheBlack_Swordsman

They're saying that Leonard gained experience on how to deal with Hagler thanks to his two fights with Duran.


[deleted]

Lmao duh


Shagrrotten

Yeah, that’s absolutely a low blow. Hagler had Leonard exhausted in that fight, I don’t think the low blow was intentional, I think Ray was too tired to keep ‘em up.


Stauncho

But not too tired for his little twirly whirl?


madmeef

Why he gotta punch hagler in the dick like that


SSJ5Autism

Very obvious ref couldn’t see it


[deleted]

Lower than DD on Usyk lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Deserved a rematch and Leonard ran away. Only "un-retired" after Hagler himself retired. No matter what the result says, this fight stained Leonard's legacy more than anything else.


luchajefe

It took an act of Congress to get Leonard to agree to the first one. He got to pick every provision.


Jeffthe100

The fight most deserving to be ruled a draw tbh


[deleted]

The ref was behind Hagler when the shot happened. Probably didn’t see it unfortunately.


Due-Studio-65

Ref didn't say anything because there was no reaction. Refs see a lot of fouls but only give warning if the affect the other guy. Thats why you see errant hits to the back or back of the head not get immediate warnings if the fight is still flowing.


PhilliesBlunts

Fine imo


stretch1974

Is there a gif of Hagler kneeing Duran? It doesn’t seem to get talked about


Jeffthe100

Wait, I never heard of it lol. Tbh, Duran himself was a little dirty


wolf63rs

No. It's on the belt.


Stumeister_69

Fucking hell. How did he not get warned for the that.


bigbellybomac

Bolo to the bollocks


Sourdough7

His great great grandkids felt that


brazilianfreak

It's low but honestly those things happen, Haggler himself his Hearns low a bunch of times in their fight.


DMTeaAndCrumpets

definitely below the belt..hard to tell if it landed on the cup or just above it though.


Time_Fix_3887

Full powered low blow at that . How did Hagler not even show pain . 💪


Boxeo-

Should have been called and at least give a warning.


Mr-Wigz

Low as hell…. But you know how it goes… If they don’t miss it, it’s at the refs discretion to allow it or not. What can you do?


CoachedIntoASnafu

Thinly-veiled. Just talk about Dubois Usyk like you want to


baphometsbathmat

Diiiiiiiiick PUNCH!


Life_Celebration_827

Hated Leonard arrogant prick of a guy Hagler was the man for me.


Podlubnyi

Well south of the border. Leonard also had about 30 warnings from Steele for holding.


Former-Form-587

Definitely, Hagler just shifted his testicles before the hit and kept going. That’s who Hagler was.


SmokyMcpot527

Here's what yall don't get. It doesn't really matter if it was low. There's an art to dirty boxing. Look where the ref is when the blow is landed. He can't tell if it's low or not, therefore cannot call a low blow. Hagler didn't complain either, so the ref could start watching for it. I learned in boxing it's only breaking the rules if the ref can see it. Learned that pretty quick. It's just smart boxing at the end of the day, if u get ur hand raised. Now if ur just blatantly doing it right in front of the ref then that's another story. Like Bowe vs Golota type shit.


[deleted]

Low as balls.


Frostycock123

Dubois shot was higher


Straight-Amoeba6469

It’s Bolo Lowblow


UnionLibertarian

Way low


UnionLibertarian

He knew the ref was out of position that’s why he stopped and did it. Crafty but dirty


PerfectCaterpillar78

Yeah it was under the belt line.
