    Non comparable imo.

    Usyk is the heavyweight champion of the world and is considered not just a master boxer but a top 10 heavyweight of all time by many peoples standards.

    A top 10 historic boxer losing to a kickboxer in boxing would devastate the sport beyond recovery.

    The only thing making boxing a premier combat sport right now is that people consider boxers the best strikers in the world when it comes to hands. If its shown they aren't even that there is literally no reason to rank it as a premier combat sport imo.

    So did the Russians kidnap Usyk from the dressing room or does Rico have food poisoning? No reason for the wait to have gone on this long.

    I was in tesco when the last fight finished.

    I've since driven home, unpacked my shopping, cooked dinner, eaten it and the ring walks haven't even started yet.

    Charlie Z is banned from Egypt, on account of the fact he knocked out Neithotep in 3050 BC (at least according to the account of Charlie Z.)

    Its been almost an hour. Even if the last fight had gone the distance, the wait between fights would still be remarkably long.

    Yeah they always do it but this feels particularly egregious.

    Just when you think it couldn’t get any worse Devin Haney’s ugly mug pops up on the screen

    People discredit that performance by talking about how the mentally unstable and notoriously undisciplined Fury came in unprepared for that fight, and many people had Fury winning that one, and Fury went on to show hes less then Usyk

    Not the same level as Usyk himself genuinely and non debatably losing to a non boxer.
