    Comms saying there is open scoring, and it is even. I hope so, but even if that is the case Usyk has lost this one. I genuinely can't believe what I am watching.

    76-76 from all judges is a terrible score. Rico is well ahead.

    You either die a hero is live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

    Usyk took Furys mojo after he beat him. Usyk has just embarrassed heavyweight boxing win or lose

    Yeah. Verhoeven is doing his part to rise to what he's being given to work with, but yes, this is more about Usyk crapping the bed than anything else. Every heavyweight version of Usyk we've seen would have schooled this same Verhoeven.

    He got old overnight. :ohno

    Maybe I change my mind later, but idk... I think, if Usyk loses this, think Im done with boxing.

    Round 1 Verhoeven 10-9
    Round 2 Verhoeven 10-9
    Round 3 Verhoeven 10-9
    Round 4 Usyk 10-9
    Round 5 Usyk 10-9, close
    Round 6 Usyk 10-9, close
    Round 7 Verhoeven 10-9
    Round 8 Usyk 10-9
    Round 9 Verhoeven 10-9, close

    Usyk lands an uppercut, then Rico powers him to the ropes and tees off. Rico flurrying to the body, Usyk looking uncomfortable. Usyk back to jabbing.

    Usyk obviously has vulnerabilities to pressure fighters, especially when they can pick their spots. Usyk's defense really isn't special when he can't use his legs to full effect.

    5-4 Usyk

    Another close round. Yes, I have Usyk up, but Rico might as well be up as well. There are at least 3-4 swing rounds that can go either way.
