    As much as I normally root for the underdog, and I think this match up stinks, I can't bring myself to want to see Usyk lose.

    Usyk coming in at 233lbs makes me think he's gunning for a KO.

    Or maybe he's not in 100 percent shape and taking Rico a bit lightly ?

    That is pretty heavy for Usyk I'm not gonna lie I think his heaviest recorded weight was 227.

    I think he aged thus he is unable to get lean as he used to.

    I'd be surprised tbh. Usyk always seems to be a consummate pro when it comes to training. I think it's just a combo of age + trying to maximise his power and strength as his feet continue to slow down. Given Rico's absolutely woeful punch defense he shouldn't be there long anyway.

    I'd be surprised aswell because Usyk is not Fury he don't allow himself to blow up in weight.

    But 233 pounds does surprise me a little.

    I know 6 or 7 pounds don't sound like much but it can make a major difference in terms of feeling more sluggish and being more fleshy around the midsection.

    I wouldn't expect Rico to give Usyk any trouble what so ever but I've been shocked a few times in recent years.

    Usyk taking this fight, coming it at 233lbs, turning 40 in six months and training Joshua to be undisputed... He's gotta be retiring after this, right? He says he wants 3 more fights or whatever, but he always loves to mess with people and his actions tell me he is hanging them up.

    Anyway Usyk by stoppage in the 5th.
