Maybe but the rd was over, he should have been given the benefit of doubt given how this was going, maybe he would have recooped during the rd break maybe not but a rematch is in order I think based on how this went.
I clearly stated, in my quote you posted, "Rico should've been left to go out on his shield for how good he had been fighting."
Come on, saying Usyk "lost all credibility" is way over the top. You can disagree with the stoppage or the Dubois low blow call, but acting like every close moment is corruption ignores everything hes accomplished across cruiserweight and heavyweight.
And if he was supposedly getting dominated, why was the other guy fading late again? Thats been the story in a lot of Usyk fights - people look great early until the pace and pressure catch up to them

this fight was a lot of wear and tear on Oleksandr
clean right hooks and body shots from a giant
2 out of 25 is a lot. Most big names never had 1 even, because this should not happen, no matter who the fighter is.
I agree and thats why rematches happen
Too many as in 2? Cmon now. Thats nothing. And he knocked ddd tf out in the rematch that wasnt even competitive.
Like I said, I thought the ref stopped it prematurely. He was battered, busted and ready to be taken. Ref screwed us all out of a definitive finish. Hats off to Rico. Id like to see a rematch then winner fights Kabayel

The round ended while the referee was stopping it. Rico would have had 1 minute to recover, and if survived the last round, he would have won. They simply saved Usyk again.
For the Dubois fight - nothing was erased because the bad decision stays, and the result was not overturned. But we aren't going to convince each other, so what remains are too many questionable decisions around Usyk, so to say.

Nah, I dont agree. Rico was on his way out had fight not been stopped. The kd rocked tf outta Rico. I do think the ref jumped the gun on the stoppage. Rico should've been left to go out on his shield for how good he had been fighting.
As for the Dubois fight. All was erased after the destruction in the rematch

Usyk lost the fight and lost all credibility as a nice, honest man. Saved against Dubois by a corrupt referee, saved against the greatest humiliation of all time against Rico. He won 2 rounds, including round 11, with a knockdown, but was still losing the fight. That's why it was stopped.
fraud stoppage to protect their marketable heavyweight champ
Rico is an incredible athlete
