    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.

    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.

    If that is confirmed and he was saved by the bell it could be reversed to a NC

    Coppinger is a terrible judge, and the commentators focus more on podcasting than the actual fights; its not unusual for them to suddenly do a 180 on how a fight has gone according to their own commentary.
    I was dumb enough to pay for DAZN, and I usually listen to the broadcasts in a language I don't understand.

    Yes because a 39 y/o old well past prime Usyk coming in at a far too heavy very slow and sluggish 233lbs is representative of a prime Usyk. Usyk looked terrible and much slower of both hand and foot than ever before and that makes a massive difference
