    Rico would destroy that ass clown Jake Paul who would likely run for his life like he did against AJ.

    Allen would probably win. Who has Rico faced in HW boxing in an actual boxing match?
    Here are some facts.
    Allen has been in there with Roid Ortiz, Roid Whyte, Price, Roid Yoka and none of them destroyed him.
    Meanwhile he KO'd Browne who KO'd old Chagaev and 'Junior Fa' whatever that name is. And Allen took out some British up and comers.
    Until we see the 'super athlete' in there with top HW's and being competitive people shouldn't be giving him a win over Allen.

    And as for takeaway, support your local cuisine you mindless clowns. Take a look around and work out what's happening.

    He couldnt KO much smaller MMA guys like washed up Nate Diaz and awful Mike Perry, highly doubtful hes doing much against a 6'5, 250+lb athletic as **** elite HW kickboxer.

    Yes. He loses to Dave Allen. He can't knock anyone out, even with his feet. And he's never gone more than five rounds.

    By round six or seven, if he's still upright, he'll be lost and exhausted.

    This again goes to show how absurdly overrated exclusive boxers are just for being exclusive boxers. As if GOAT HW kickboxer Rico's 15 years training with the Fury's meant nothing. As if Vitali, Briedis, Povetkin, Miller and Whyte didn't exist.

    It is pretty crazy to think that in Glory and golden age K-1 it was the norm for fighters to fight multiple times in the same night against elite level opponents.

    Semmy Schilt, on his last night before retiring, fought FOUR TIMES in a single night for ****s sake. Rico was opponent #2.

    Awesome sport.

    Poll was 34-4 in Allens favor upon bumping.

    And he KO'd the final opponent with the high kick. Epic final performance in an already legendary and GOAT'd career. Allegedly backstage that night Schilt said to Verhoeven that it's his turn to rule now. Which he did... until stepping away to fight Usyk. Over a decade of dominance.

    Probably not, but it was awesome nonetheless.

    One thing to take into account is kickboxing fights are a lot shorter than boxing matches so its not like guys were doing full blown 12 rounders multiple times a night.

    Still, very badass and fun to watch.
