    Rico is moving so well in this fight. He know his range very well and he's rarely in range to get hit.

    Rico dropped weight and Usyk put it on.

    Rico seems to have forgotten to read the script

    Usyk getting his jab on track, then lands a few right hooks Rico backs him to the ropes, flurries. Not muc lands clean. Usyk bends down, Rico spams him with uppercuts. Rico lands a solid jab. Then a one two. Hard counter left from Usyk. A few jabs from Rico. Usyk backing him up now.

    It would be funny if Rico won a decision.

    Sorry but Usyk looks like dog**** today. He better have something left in store or this will not go his way.

    5-1 to Rico.

    He reminds me of those 1930s style boxers, busy hunched over style. Very unorthodox.

    You rarely see a guy built like a brick ****house have the stamina to move like that for 12 rounds so we will see. Then again look at Miller he can go for 28 rounds despite carrying that weight, that is if he's not on the chemicals lol.

    Usyks seems like hes just waiting and trying to land a one punch counter, instead of establishing anything of his own.
