    Bull****. If tonight was a sign of Usyk's decline then Kabayel will batter him and stop him.

    I'm a huge Usyk fan but even before he started getting punished he was looking old, slow and stationary tonight.

    Usyk should retire now. He loses to Kabayel, especially if it takes 6+ months to make the bout.

    Just rewatched the stoppage. It's now confirmed the stoppage was after the bell.

    Rico is a thoroughly nice guy.

    I know Rico has good powers of recovery. He always come back strong when hurt. He should have been given the chance to go down on his shield or the bell was supposed to have gone but timekeeper obviously doing his thing...

    Cards are in.
    Usyk was up 2, 2 and even heading to rd12.

    so the stoppage meant nothing.

    for real. He'll defintiely stay in boxing. He stands to make mega money now after that performance. Guy deserves it too.
