He finds a way to win. I told everyone this would be a tough fight. Rico is the goat of kickboxing meaning he’s one of the best strikers of all time and he doesn’t have to worry about kicks now. He also fought in kind of a spoily matter which made Usyk look sloppier at times. That being said the beauty of Usyk is he always finds a win no matter what. That uppercut was a KO once Rico spit the mouth piece out and his trainer fumbled it to buy him time. Usyk reigns supreme, he always finds a way to win and Rico did well so props to him.
Rico was badly hurt, hence he spit the mouth guard out and the trainer fumbled the mouth piece to buy time, ref saw this, saw him stumble and saved him.
Why spit the mouth guard out? Would you have been ok with another fighter spitting their mouth guard out to clearly buy time?
Wilder knocks out this fat disgrace. At least Wilder respects the sport enough to always show up in shape. Usyk should be thanking his lucky stars that fight didn't happen or it would've been a classic cherry pick gone wrong.
Yeah, why not ? There are tricks to buy time in this sport, and this is one of them. As is pretending a blow is low when it was borderline, or readjusting your trunks because "they're too low", stuff like that. Tons of fighters do them. And this is a guy having his 2nd Boxing fight and was beating the HW champ of the world, and there were like 5 seconds left after the KD. Why wouldn't you let the guy have his chance when the round is just about to stop and could potentially recover for 1 last round ?
Greedy Belly on here was ripped to bits for taking the Ngannou fight and then ripped again for his performance,Greedy Rabbit is no different he should get the same response on here also for doing exactly the same !
Corrales vs Castillo 1 guys. Also think Usyk would have murdered Verhoeven in round 12 but we will never know.
I’m not getting ahead of nothing, Greedy Belly/Greedy Rabbit both over looked there opponents,never turned up and looked terrible all for a money grab ! At least when Joshua did it he was holding no belts so not holding the Division up !
rico had deceptively fast hands and good timing. i hadnt seen usyk struggle with that because hes never faced fast hands. but he was getting caught flush, like he couldnt see them coming. itauma would make usyk look really old.
dude I like Usyk and have always cheered for him to win at heavy. But this fight should not have been competitive
