    Rico still looping in and landing rights Usyk landing some counters here and there, but getting outworked.

    Usyk needs to let his hands go. He's struggling to get a foothold.

    1st to Verhoeven, 2nd Usyk. Third is a tossup with less than a minute remaining but I am leaning Dutchman.

    I didn't expect it to go this far.

    But as we know, Usyk ages well into the later rounds.

    See it 2-1 Verhoeven, hope Usyk doesn't bank one just one shotting him cause that's a big mother****er.

    Another close round, again edging it to Usyk for the cleaner work but could easily be a rico round.

    I think however, Usyk has made a switch and Rico will start to feel the pace. Usyk is setting his feet after he gets caught and looked like he stunned Rico in that round.

    Usyk does look a little softer in body.

    Very awkward but very effective. Using his size so well.
