    Better from Usyk, but still very competitive.

    I don't think this is going to be an easy fight for Usyk. Rico is a good fighter and the knows how to box. They usually transition better to boxing than MMA fighters. Vitali Klitschko is a good example.

    Have to keep in mind the amount of levels Usyk has in him to go up through all 12 rounds, opponents will find out he looks a lot different after 6, so if Verhoeven gets that far there's still more to see.

    In the old days, Usyk would start pouring it on in the third.

    Rico has taken head kicks from 6'9" men. Not that Rico will win this but I'm not surprised he's not intimidated by Usyks power.

    Usyk will level up as this fight goes on. What you’re seeing from Rico is what you’re going to get.

    Rico moving around Usyk like Usyk moves around other heavyweights, damn.
    Usyk finally landed some good shots at the end of the 3rd.

    Can Rico maintain this pace after the 4th round?

    Do we have a Fury-Ngannou situation here? Don't think I've ever seen Usyk this flat-footed
