    Usyk looks slower and a bit out of shape compared to usual. He's having his own Fury-Ngannou moment though with a far more dignified showing.

    He's not even getting fair scoring on here so what do you think?

    Rico's style is so ugly. He makes Froch look like Lomachenko

    Even as a certified Usyk fanboy, I am immensely impressed by Rico; I expect him to get stopped in the second half, but his effort so far surpasses a lot of dedicated boxers.

    Usyk at his best would beat this guy easily, Rico is awkward but a lot of his feints are completely unnecessary, usyk should retire soon. The gypsy dosser is probably watching this thinking he fancies another go

    @CST80 you were right, Rico's a hell of a lot more legit in the squared circle than Ngannou. :deal:

    Round 6 is when the real compelling stuff starts, Usyk has proven time and time again he has gears, Verhoeven is used to five 3 minute rounds I think they said kickboxing takes place over.

    Usyk is carrying him just like Mayweather did and this is getting tiring

    Rico is missing more and more, using his footwork even more than in the opening rounds.
