    Barker said there's no reason for concern for Usyk fans but I disagree Usyk looks old and terrible at this weight and much slower and more sluggish and he's given away his speed advantage

    Dude didn't earn the title shot but he showed he belongs in the ring with top heavyweights.

    Will AJ have to be sent in for some clean up work again?

    Rico doesn't look like he's slowing down surprisingly

    Rico had 24 fights to study, Usk had 0. And Rico is using more footwork than anyone Usyk has faced as a pro.

    58-56 Usyk or 57-57 are fine, but Todd Grisham saying "everybody must have it for Verhoeven" and Coppinger scoring him up 5-1 is...weird.

    The over of 5.5 was a steal

    Good Lord, our sport isn't going to live this down.

    Of all fighters, Usyk dropped the ball.
