If you're calling for Itauma to get a shot at Usyk, you have no business complaining about Rico

    They do, but kicks are harder. That is simple biology.

    We are going to see this fight, so if Rico gets seriously injured, you can say "I told you so." But we both know which one of us is going to say that.

    Not arguing kicks aren't harder.

    Arguing punches can cause damage. Something you refuse to accept.

    No one refused to accept that a punch can cause damage, but it's nothing where this Rico guys hasn't taken worse.

    Again, we are going to see the fight, and one of us is going to be saying told you so. I'm betting on me. If Rico gets seriously hurt, you can say it.

    But it's going to be me.

    This will maybe bring ten new eyes to the sport, because who the **** is Rico? Everyone who watches Glory kickboxing knows Usyk. Kickboxing is one-twentieth the size of MMA. At least people knew who Francis Ngannou was, and when people fought him, no belts were on the line. Moses Itauma has already proved he’s a better boxer than Rico Verhoeven, because Rico has only had one fight. A win over a shot Dillian Whyte is still better than anything Rico has done in boxing. Also, knowing kickboxing doesn’t make you a good boxer (most of them are ****); former kickboxers who succeed in boxing are good because they trained in boxing for a long time.

    It's going to open it up to countries where kickboxing is more popular than boxing.

    Glory does fewer views on live events on YouTube than ProBox. Boxing doesn't need whatever little exposure this fight gives. The Moses fight would do massive numbers in the UK, even though I do agree with you it shouldn't happen. Usyk can have this easy fight, but if he is not going to Kabayel, he should vacate the WBC belt.

    But that makes no sense
    Concerns about his health cannot be cleared up by putting him in with another pro boxer

    And I don't think anyone is trying to score points with the doctor stuff
    But it's a fact your making an assumption (which very well may turn out to be correct) and can't medically confirm anything from him talking in 1 interview

    A) Actually they have
    B) It was my point, and as simple one at that. We know he is suited to take the punches. We don't kow tehs same about Moses.
    C) Can you please read through the thread before you rehash old points.
    D) Please stop posting two at a time. Say what you have to say in one post, please.
    It is obvious that you don't put him in with the champ if there are concerns about him.

    Respectfully, I am going with Turkyi as knowing what he is doing.

    We are in agreement that punches can cause damage.

    If there were concerns about CTE like you're implying you wouldn't put him in the ring against anyone.

    But again, you're speculating and trying to present it as fact. If Itauma had the injuries your guessing about, his team and the boxing authority wouldn't let him fight. Pure and simple.

    If you don't think Itauma is fit to fight based on what you saw, fine, it's dressing this up like Rico is somehow acceptable because of that that's making you look like a bit of an idiot.

    I have reread it.. On a number of occasions

    Please don't tell me how to post, that's patronising for no reason and we are only debating
    I posted and replied to separate posts which is usual

    I won't ask the same question again but it's like 3 times you won't answer what me and now Kiwi have asked regarding putting him in a ring to fight when Apprently he might have issues caused by blows

    You don't put him in with ANYONE let alone the champion if there such concerns about CTE
