    If Usyk's speed is gone, he's going to have a hard time against Kabayel.

    Riko won minimum 8 out of the 11 rounds they fought. How is this anything other than Usyk being saved?

    Think Usyk alluded to that - "Ha! Very clever" towards Peter Fury

    Look at how fast they stopped Rico getting hit by Usyk compared to Fury being dropped on the ropes by him but the ref not even calling the knockdown.

    Usyk would have probably stopped him in the 12th, but at least let him go out on his shield. Give Rico a chance to win because he gave a better a better account than almost any of Usyk's previous opponents. That uppercut bailed him out on what could have been a defeat.

    As for Usyk, fight Kabayal and retire. Make this is the last year of your career, because you're getting old.

    He has no fights left in him.

    He has finally gotten old. Even in the first round he looked half as fast as he did in his last fight and was incredibly stationary.

    Also I think Ngannous getting underrated. Rico can beat him but thats a good fight.
    I think people would be surprised at how well Ngannou would do against tonights Usyk.

    It’s clear to me Usyk didnt train properly for this fight, an in shape Usyk finishes Rico way earlier.

    Terrible stoppage but Usyk was very likely going to stop him in the finial round. Embarrassing effort from Usyk he looks old and well past his best but coming on that heavy was a terrible idea and he looked very slow and sluggish. I've been telling you for years that he should come in no heavier than 221 so what the hell was he doing coming in at 233 much heavier than even his last fight?

    He needs to retire and should of after Dubois II

    Look at how I was mocked when I told you Rico was dangerous and that I've seen too many combat sports athletes cross over into boxing and do far better than everyone expects? One day maybe these fools will start listening to me. Rico's huge physical advantages coupled with his speed, power, and athleticism alone posed a big threat but when you factor in everything else on both his side and Usyk's sides combining at the right time gave me a bad feeling about this fight

    It's not Usyk's fault, he pulled out the shot to force the stoppage, it was going to be difficult on the scorecards if he couldn't take him out in the 12th but the incompetent ref decided we didn't need to see it.
