End the drama, Usyk won and will continue to dominate.

I love Rico, but he got a 20 second count and was still out of it. There was 0 chance he was surviving another 3 minutes. If the ref wanted to rob Rico he wouldn’t have given him a long count.

Rico took advantage of the fact there is no footage of him boxing and came in with a weird style. But he was already hurt in the 10th and was spent by the 11th. He wasn’t going to finish that fight and never was.

This was Usyk’s Leon Spinks/Buster Douglas moment, and he passed like the GOAT he is.

Once a lot of fans see how easily Usyk beats Kabayel and Itauma, they’ll jump back on board lol

 

itauma would ko usyk

 

They'll both stop him.

 

The Kabayel fight is next. I’ll see you after the fight.

 

Kabayel is life and death kind of fight for Usyk, but winnable. Itauma would KO him at this stage.

 

Yep

 

Itauma has been 31 rounds in his entire career, we need to see him in against durable opposition before he gets a shot against Usyk. Keep upping his opponent level until they take him further. Kabayel is ready and a good test, I wasn’t overly interested before
Usyk showed some concerning vulnerabilities as I thought Kabayel simply doesn’t have enough about his game for him.

 

I could see him beating Kabayel as he is hittable, slow and flat footed. But if Usyk shows up as flat footed as he did against Rico then Kabayel will tear up his body and stop him.

 

Sure big man sure

 

The Rico version of Usyk was pitiful. Could see them both beating that version of Usyk.

 

Has Kabayel ever fought anyone that moves like Usyk or similar? All i see from him is beating on big stationary targets. Usyk could very well beat him but not Itauma.

 

I feel like the Itauma fight is a fight we'd love to see, but wouldn't also at the same time. If Usyk goes in top of his game, which at 39 and clearly declining he isn't, and beat Itauma, where does that leave the perception of the Itauma and the next era? The same is said if Itauma beat this Usyk, what is the benefit, all round? We are now NOT seeing a relative 'prime (Dubois II)' Usyk. But, who knows, maybe he sharpens up, beats Agit or Itauma and further cements his legacy, whilst in decline. Something most fighters haven't done.

 

I thought Kabayel already had good odds against the version of Usyk from Fury2/Dubois2. Between Kabayels ability to chain his offense, and his volume/stamina, he has the tools to grind down and get to a peaking version of Usyk. Against the version of Usyk last night? You might as well give Kabayel the belts now

 

These fights are a lot closer than people think. Age has finally caught up to Usyk.

 

He hasn’t even beaten anyone who fights back yet. Geez
