Massive L for Usyk.

gotta admit, not a good look

kickboxer, arguably winning, bad stoppage

Usyk may have to rematch him

 

Eh. He kinda had it coming and is getting pretty much the same reception as Fury did for his Ngannou fight.

Ref stuffed up which isn't Usyk's fault. I think Usyk finishes it on the 12th but imo he was down on the cards.

 

Fury vs Ngannou doesn't look so bad anymore ;-D

Hello everyone, this is my first post on the forum.

 

And yet it was Usyk that face planted Rico through the ropes, Rico who was spitting his mouthpiece out to buy time, and Rico whose face looked like hammered beef.

You don't think there's any possibility at all that you got swept up in the underdog doing better than expected and didn't give Usyk credit he deserved? The punch stats while not the be all end all had both guys dead even. Those rounds were close. You don't get points for shoulder charging your opponent to the ropes and clinching/rough housing with him.

Argumentum ad populum: Argumentum ad populum (Latin for "appeal to the people") is a logical fallacy that incorrectly assumes a claim is true or good simply because a large number of people believe it or practice it. Also known as the bandwagon fallacy or appeal to popularity, it relies on the premise: "If many people believe it, it must be true."

 

I didn't mind what Fury said after that Ngannou "He was a good fighter and he gave me a good fight and that was it. I trained very well, I prepared very well and I don’t have any excuses or anything. It’s boxing. Some days you have good days and some days you don’t, and you crack on and continue and keep moving forward." You can sum it up in a similar way, it's still a fight between two guys with very different styles. Verhoeven showed he is a good fighter from those 11 rounds, we will find out how good when he boxes again. We will find out whether Usyk has faded when he boxes again.

 

It was definitely a bad hit to Usyks aura, and one that really had no reason to happen in the first place. Guy is 39 years old and could have retired a few fights ago without anyone complaining.
