He has dynamite in his hands?? Do they know that Rico is considered a real pillow fisted fighter. I mean this guy can't knockout anyone with his fist and has a overall KO percentage of 30 percent.

He is known as a technical striker that outpoints and outsmarts his opponents in KB. This is literally the worst/easiest style that they could come up with, a straight upward type of guy not fast feet no KO power and no chance when it comes to boxing. With Ngannou they could at least sell it since this guy is one of the hardest punches ever and a freak of nature all around, a very akward fighter that has natural fighting instincts but Ricos only chance to win is outboxing Usyk and whoever thinks that will happen needs to sitdown.

What a load of BS.

Easy fight, easy money.
Prob the worst, most unqualified fighter in history to ever fight for a world championship belt.

Well IDK about the rest of you but I'm happy Usyk is happy, in truth this is probably the best opponent he could face.

I'd rather see him fight a threat than watch him love his life

I am not very feel.

Installation of QXDM/QUTS both fail. The failure is to execute from system32 folder. This is completely blockeb by our IT and there is no workaround.

Well... it is a waste of time, talent, Usyk's reign as champion, and isn't even a great spectacle because only about 15% of the combat sports fans even know who Verhoeven is or even the correct way to spell/say his name. Other than that, I am excited for this.

This is why I drink.

Usyk cleaned up 2 weight classes and is the best active heavyweight. Most agree that Kabayel has little to no chance of beating Usyk and that it's to early for Itauma. The top 10 or top 15 HW rankings tell the story lol.

So, Usyk is writing his own script. He beat Fury twice and Fury beat the best HW the UFC had. Only thing left is the best and most accomplished HW kickboxer. Once he beats Verhoeven, no arguments left to dispute the fact that Usyk is the baddest active fighter on the planet.

Yes, in North America, few know anything about kickboxing, but that's not Usyk's problem. He's not here to educate people. He has zero obligation to explain himself to clueless people, but he's a gentleman so he tried to appease those who just don't get it.

IMHO, this is way better than executing Wilder in the ring.

No. I don't agree Kabayel has ni chance. I wanna see that.


Usyk went life and death with Fury and Joshua twice. Lets see if he can beat Kabayel.
