    Also I think Ngannous getting underrated. Rico can beat him but thats a good fight.
    I think people would be surprised at how well Ngannou would do against tonights Usyk.

    It’s clear to me Usyk didnt train properly for this fight, an in shape Usyk finishes Rico way earlier.

    Terrible stoppage but Usyk was very likely going to stop him in the finial round. Embarrassing effort from Usyk he looks old and well past his best but coming on that heavy was a terrible idea and he looked very slow and sluggish. I've been telling you for years that he should come in no heavier than 221 so what the hell was he doing coming in at 233 much heavier than even his last fight?

    He needs to retire and should of after Dubois II

    Look at how I was mocked when I told you Rico was dangerous and that I've seen too many combat sports athletes cross over into boxing and do far better than everyone expects? One day maybe these fools will start listening to me. Rico's huge physical advantages coupled with his speed, power, and athleticism alone posed a big threat but when you factor in everything else on both his side and Usyk's sides combining at the right time gave me a bad feeling about this fight

    It's not Usyk's fault, he pulled out the shot to force the stoppage, it was going to be difficult on the scorecards if he couldn't take him out in the 12th but the incompetent ref decided we didn't need to see it.

    Kabayel would beat this Usyk.

    Let’s just call it for what it is. Usyk has aged and was losing this fight. The referee was probably told to end the fight prematurely in order to ensure that Usyk bagged the win. They simply could not allow a kickboxer to beat a top boxer in boxing.

    Usyk will be well ahead on the punch stats and he blasted Rico out. Dude got half a minute to recover and Usyk was still gonna finish him.

    Turki is an *******. Kabayal deserves a shot, but he's pushing for a rematch.
