    Did you say ‘that’s what happened to Ngannou right?’ meaning that he also got wiped out in the next fight he had (which is what I’m saying will happen to Verhoeven next decent HW he faces)? If so, then we agreed from the start.

    My point is that Ngannou had a lot of unexpected success in his first big boxing fight, but then got wiped out in the next fight when people thought he might carry on some of that success, and what I’m saying is that I believe a similar thing will happen to Verhoeven.

    I was saying that sarcastically, because that scenario is applicable to Francis, and no one else. That's how boxing works. You know that! This isn't a one size fits all sport. For the record, I said Francis would have success, it wasn't inexpected for me. I said Rico was going to have a lot of success that wasn't unexpected for me either.

    This isn't about me is it. You can keep coping all you like, but a mere 4 ranked heavyweights doesn't cut it

    This isn't cope, I'm explaining to people who are acting like casual fans what happened today. They're conveniently having comprehension problems. You're pushing an agenda, as always. You're also the pound for pound stupidest poster on this site, so shut the **** up.

    "This isn't cope" – proceeds to cope

    I don’t think he gets blown out by anyone he showed an iron chin tonight and he is awkward AF

    Dropping facts isn't coping.

    But lying is, as well as going out of your way to hype up a kickboxer would will get butchered by any other top 10 heavyweight boxer he gets in the ring with, Ngannou style.

    All you're doing is wasting energy, if Verhoeven doesn't break his promise and keeps boxing he's cooked and deep down you know it. As soon as someone like Wardley knocks him spark out you'll just cope some more and claim Rico was never the same after Usyk

    I wouldn’t be so sure. He obviously got more fundamentals than Ngannou, also he has better tank, footwork is better, though he needs still work to do.

    Prime Fury, Joshua and possibly even Wilder yes most likely would take with KO, same applies to Usyk, but then again, none of them are prime or even near it. And yes Rico is not an easy walk as Ngannou.

    You're right, arguing with a mong like you is a waste of my time. Meanwhile I picked Dubois to do a demolition job on Wardley. You're an idiot with the worst takes on this site. No one takes you seriously.

    Sit there and cope. First you were on a tirade that Rico would actually be a threat to the heavyweight division, then you pulled Frank out of your ass. Everyone gets predictions wrong, i had Catterall beating Giyasov, you had Albright beating Keyshawn. Even u had Torrez brutally KOing Sanchez amongst other predictions. But Verhoeven being a top 10 heavyweight hell nah this is literally Ngannou all over again

    Verhoeven is going to get his Ngannou treatment soon and it will be ecstasy to watch it live.

    Yeah, and I put zero thought into all of the matches you mentioned. Everyone had Torrez beating Sanchez. The only match on this card I actually thought about was the main event. My assessment was better than everybody else's. When I actually think about a match I'm usually spot on. Like I did with Hadribaej upsetting Samale today. Whereas with you, thinking is never your strong suit.

    So we can just brush of your wrong predictions because there is apparently 0 thought put into them but if I get my predictions wrong you criticize me for putting 0 thought into them make that make sense.

    You can rub and tug Rico all you want he plans on staying in boxing and in that future he's COOKED.

    Yeah, pretty much. I do have an actual life, and it's been pretty chaotic lately, so I've barely been posting in the General. You can usually tell when I haven't put much though into them. I usually throw out some random **** takes. Whereas that's everything you post.
