Eddie Hirn: “This is surrender. Usik struck too heavy stroke ”

Influential promoter Eddie Hirne He shared his opinion on the result of the match that took place on the night of July 20 in London. Ukrainian boxer Alexander Usik knocked down the British Daniel Duba in the fifth round and took away the title of IBF.

“Everyone thinks it is a surrender, but I do not like to call Duba’s defeat in such a word. He fell down and waited for the referee to take up to ten. Okay … I admit it was surrender. However, Usik struck too heavy.

Let’s give Duba something like a presumption of innocence. Let’s say otherwise – he just decided not to climb on his feet (laughs – note).

Be that as it may, I think the fans think that Duba surrendered. Compared to the first match against Usik, then there was a light JB, and here a really powerful feed. However, the fact remains. He could rise to his feet and continue the battle … ”, – said Hirrn.

After the victory of Usik, the authoritative magazine The Ring updated the rating of the hard weight – Duba lost several positions and fell into fifth place.
