    Usyk-Rico is an absolute farce.

    Allen-Rico perhaps a contest. Perhaps? But I would back Allen every day of the week to win.

    Allen stops him comfortably. Rico's boxing skill wasn't anything special among kickboxers, he has zero power in his hands and is quite easy to tag these days against other big guys. His chin has also been deteriorating.

    Allen walks him down, catches him with an overhand and finishes him.

    First fury fights the mma clown, now Usyk Does this. How long before a belt holder defends against someone from the wwe? Yet another nail in boxings coffin, another step in its march to irrelevance. Basically already there.

    Allen is hard to predict because hes got some raw ability but often doesnt have his head in the game and can be undisciplined. Rico is a much better athlete and the bigger man but hes also pillow fisted and his game in kickboxing is based on him mixing it up rather than a heavy boxing approach.

    I'd give the edge to Allen.

    With his hands AND feet.

    He can't even knock out guys by kicking them in the head.

    Eh you’re not going to knock Usyk out, speed is a better attribute vs Usyk than power.

    Not sure why you’re so opposed to this. This is just a fun cross over fight. The boxing goat vs the kickboxing goat. Def tuning in to see how it plays out.
