    Usyk got protected, total Bum performance. Should have left without the belt tonight.

    He'd have been stopped anyway n the next round but, Usyk robbed of a definitive KO, Rico robbed of an opportunity.

    Well that won't be controversial.
    Rico should have been allowed to see the twelfth; I think Usyk would have stopped him then, but they shouldn't have left it to chance. Any which way it was an incredible effort by Rico, and he is certainly worthy of a rematch.

    I'm a Usyk fan but Verhoeven should have been given the minute between rounds.

    Shades of Chavez-Taylor.

    This was a horrible performance by Usyk. He CLEARLY didn't train for this fight.

    Like I said.... Rico boxes Ngannou's ears off. He almost boxed Usyk's off!:lol:

    What this fight definitely showed is that you can bother Usyk by smothering him, pushing him off balance and flurrying to the body.
    Kabayel has a very realistic chance imo

    Have to say I actually enjoyed the fight. Rico impressed me and would give the top 10 hell. CHONK UNIT
