    From what I see, most of the "fans" in internet who are bashing Usyk for this fight do it for political and financial reasons. Some of them are from Russia, some of them are from UK (because Usyk destroyed all UK champions), some of them are from the US (because they no longer have champions, and not happy Usyk is regarded as GOAT of boxing).

    And maybe the Zuffa guys, (because Usyk didn't sign with Zuffa). And I think Turki doesn't support Usyk either, because Turki holds majority of Zuffa shares.They want to undermine alphabet sanctioning bodies.

    Oh look, it's one of those insecure venomous bias fueled haters doing their level best to denigrate Usyk after one off performance, that I was talking about!

    Usyk is ancient, fight was probably rigged. Most sporting events are.

    Rico is so much bigger than Usyk, look at the size of his arms. Kickboxer or not, it's not easy to fight a big man like that. Still, Usyk was able to KO him, the kickboxing champion.

    Usyk has been fighting these giants for 5 years, give the man the credit he deserves.

    Usyk flattened the Glory champion.. At nearly 40.. that it was awkward is by the by.. Verhoeven is a giant & an athletic freak. I was impressed with the Ukrainians ability to adapt & find a way & the uppercuts were beautiful. What a legend. Fair play Rico also.

    He had a terrible night....made himself look awful. Deserves all the criticism he is getting for getting it all wrong!!! Came in heavy....possibly didnt train hard enough... likely underestimated Rico plus a few other factors.

    He is getting older, slower and in decline.....it happens

    I would LOVE you to hear you explain how you know that. Also would love you to explain why Fury was bashed for struggling with Ngannou? Was that also political and financial?

    I bet if i go back and look in that fight thread I will find the same people defending Usyk now, bashing the hell out of Fury for struggling with an MMA fighter. Should I do it?

    As for this fight its not rocket science. Usyk was overrated as a HW, and Rico far more awkward and capable than most expected from a kickboxer with mediocre hands. Lennon or Tyson would have slept him in a few rounds.

    In case anyone cares, this is what I was saying before Fury-Ngannou.

    Undisputed cruiserweight champion
    2 times undisputed heavyweight champion
    Undefeated
    Never knocked down

    Show me a post where I'm hating on Usyk.

    Usyk is a legend as a boxer and a human being.

    You however are a bigoted clown.
