    Delusional.

    This is fair, if being honest.

    Props to Peter, gameplan was decent. Wonder what else Peter could have done if things went different.

    I've just watched it back and the bell rang a second or two before the stoppage. With it being boxing, I'm sure nothing will happen but I can't imagine a scenario where they don't run it back.

    So he is, still under 40 though.

    His punches look slow. He should fight Wilder then retire.

    If they can hit him clean, I was most surprised at his defence tonight - head was constantly moving off the line, hands always ready and in the right place.

    Put two and two together - he's 40 in 6 months. So the person you quoted is correct. He'd be 40 if he fought Kabayel

    It's 39 actually, and if he regresses from here, he'd be not much more agile than Zhang, who is deceptively fast, but would have none of the imposing size.

    I still need to score it properly but many of the scores ive seen already and especially the commentators. They don't feel right.

    Much of Rico's work was being blocked and Usyk was landing many more shots than given credit for. Rico had eye catching right hands that was gaining the attention. But my prediction if you score the fight properly it is closer than people realising

    I agree. His style won't work against the bigger punchers. They should not get carried away with making him a boxer now. This was a specific style match up.

    Rico should have backed up and recuperate instead of chargin in and get the uppercut.
