    Probably not the same. Rico's conditioned to take blows from big gloves. Ngannou wasn't.

    Im beyond relieved Usyk won, but there is no moral victory today. this is exactly how I feared this would go. Usyk has tarnished his legacy and tarnished boxing.

    If Usyk's speed is gone, he's going to have a hard time against Kabayel.

    Riko won minimum 8 out of the 11 rounds they fought. How is this anything other than Usyk being saved?

    Think Usyk alluded to that - "Ha! Very clever" towards Peter Fury

    Look at how fast they stopped Rico getting hit by Usyk compared to Fury being dropped on the ropes by him but the ref not even calling the knockdown.

    Usyk would have probably stopped him in the 12th, but at least let him go out on his shield. Give Rico a chance to win because he gave a better a better account than almost any of Usyk's previous opponents. That uppercut bailed him out on what could have been a defeat.

    As for Usyk, fight Kabayal and retire. Make this is the last year of your career, because you're getting old.

    He has no fights left in him.

    He has finally gotten old. Even in the first round he looked half as fast as he did in his last fight and was incredibly stationary.

    I'm gonna stop telling people I'm a boxing fan for like a year now to avoid the embarrassment of what I just watched
