2%

 

That would be some size upset,just imagine it !

 

Rico SD with a knockdown in round 8

 

Usyk will win but Rico will be more competitive than people think.

 

Usyk KO3.

 

Usyk. Likely by KO in the first few rounds.

 

I think Rico may end up being more competitive than folks expect. He’s a big man and an elite combat sportsman.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Usyk ends up winning via a mid-fight mercy stoppage. Otherwise, 12-0 UD win by Usyk.

 

That's some WWE **** right there lol.

 

Do we really need to predict this?

 

Pointless fight. Usyk mid to late TKO

 

Farce.

 

So just by your logic, so I am clear
For example you are saying
If someone had 300 rounds in the ring but lives a healthy life
They are probably not as fresh as someone who has had 100 rounds but decides to every now and again enjoy a drink
That they are more ringworm?

 

No.

I’m saying that a guy who had more rounds, could be fresher than an average guy who’s had less rounds, but who’s abused their body.


It would depend on the circumstances.

Every comparison would be different.


I would say that Usyk is a fresher fighter than Tyson.

I would also say that Usyk would be fresher than an average 38 year old HW, who’d had more pro fights.


Tyson’s initial quote was:

(paraphrased)

“I believe that Usyk is still fresh, as he’s only had 24 pro fights and he’s not been seriously damaged”


I agree with that.

That’s not to say that he’s not faded or not had huge mileage.

But he’s still in great shape.


My personal opinion is:

Fighters who have lots of am fights, but not a huge amount of pro fights, are generally fresher than if it’s vice versa.
