    Good fight! Rico would make a good heavyweight boxer

    3-1 Usyk

    Much better round from Usyk. He's landing some good shots on Rico, but Rico landed a few good shots of his own. This is still competitive. Close fight.

    Time out means time out, not run 5 seconds off the clock. I loathe time keepers

    I genuinely want to see Rico vs Ngannou in boxing.

    Will Rico get fair scoring?

    usyk has only 1 KO at HW before round 6

    1

    Rico is huge and knows how to fight

    Done himself proud, gave the number one 5 good rounds at the very least.

    Rico doing a better job than Dubois did in the rematch. Amazing stuff.

    No, but I know this is exaclty how Usyk used to fight all the time. He would give up two rounds on principle and time his opponent.

    I also know that kickboxing doesn't have but five rounds or so.

    3-2 Usyk. Rico slowed down a lot, not moving as much.
