The ref telling Usyk to take more time and Usyk saying no, I'm ready to continue was him quitting?
There was about 3 seconds between Dubois landing the punch and the ref indicating that he thought it was low -- and Usyk wasn't on the ground for the first second of that. So there was about a two-second window in which Usyk could have quit. Obviously from then on, he was operating within the guidelines allowed for a low blow.
What I saw in those two seconds was someone going down from a punch. Ridiculous to conclude that he quit from that.
Of course, predictable and tiresome as it is, Fury's sub-WWE spiel was never going to be well thought out or reasonable.
