    Scoring that opener 10-9 for Verhoeven is reasonable, I'd even say correct - but this commentary, my goodness. "That was an A plus plus plus round for Rico!"

    Nobody in a San Francisco bathhouse getting piped up the keister while gobbling poppers by the fistful and thinking about what scent to shampoo their poodle tomorrow has ever sounded gayer.

    Rico showing no respect, outworking Usyk. A rare sight to see, even in the early rounds.
    Usyk with the typically slow start, and Rico is taking full advantage.

    Honestly, when was the last time Usyk faced someone with so much foot movement? The amateurs?

    This is like Usyk V Chisora.

    Usyk unsure what to prepare or watch out for.

    Rico will tire out and I think he get taken out 6/7th round.

    So far it doesn't look like usyks power is anything that rico is overly concerned about

    Round 1 Verhoeven 10-9
    Round 2 Verhoeven 10-9

    Rico just pressing forward behind his high guard and roughing Usyk up. Usyk starting to time him better, but not landing enough.

    Rico looks like an ape. Wtf is this stance and swinging.

    Usyk does look slow and sluggish at this weight with no snap on his shots
