Usyk Only Has Two Options

[Simurgh]

When Usyk beats Agit (or knock out Rico after a clean sweep in the rematch), people will say that Agit is crap and that it is Rico’s 3rd pro fight, and demand Usyk fights Itauma “to prove” himself… Someone said Usyk got exposed last night… How can someone says that and look at Usyk resume… I mean.. Crazy.

It was Rico's 2nd pro fight, and no - I admit this was enough to evaluate Usyk.

Read again. I referred to a rematch if it ever happens. Sure it is.
Thanks for the thumbs down.

Oh, you like thumbs up...? I'll give you one, but don't get me wrong...

Nothing to get there. It was enough to read 3 words of your post(s)… Making some sound points. Zz

He should just be stripped

Option A: Retire (most advisable option)

Option B: Rematch


Option A: Is most advisable because it is evident beyond a doubt that Usyk got old over night and was out of shape, and you can’t defeat Father Time.


Option B: If Usyk wants to wipe this stain, he needs to train his ass off, come in the best shape possible that he could muster (if he could muster) and stop Rico within 6. And then absolutely retire.


Dubois, Fury, AJ, Kabayel, imo all would spark Rico if he fought them next.

Option A.

He came in heavy and looked old.

He might fight Wilder next if he wants to win one more.

Usyk was winning 7-3 going into the last round

you casuals need to stop listening to Tod Grisham and company

Rico won 3 rounds at the most Usyk blocked many of his attacks

Rico won 6,8 and 9 the rest was Usyk

Never beleive the media use your eyeballs thats how you watch things

Even when Rico went down the commentators went completely silent,did anyone else notice that?

Alright. That performance from Usyk was so subpar, it had me questioning where the f**k was "The Cat" ? Yes, him. Catman from the Dubois 2 fight.. I thought was he purposely trolling us? Is he carrying Rico for entertainment and then to decide later on when to end it? Didn't he train or prepare for this fight?

Where was that quick, bouncy, Usyk with feints, angles, lateral movement. I was like WTF!

Respectfully disagree, mate. I am coming out of Rico's hard situations in kickboxing - he barely has 2 KO losses there. We also add the open scoring, which was unseen. There was everything that could be wrong with this fight, so if anyone out there, sanctioning bodies or the noble knight on a white horse, Usyk, has any dignity, rule it NC.

But this was nearly 33 minutes in. He was totally gassed and, in hindsight, had eaten some horrible uppercuts throughout the fight. Brave effort, but he was finally broken.

It's not often you see a man take every single punch that's thrown. When Usyk had him cornered at the end he didn't have the ability to avoid a single shot. Just because Usyk doesn't throw big wide shots doesn't mean that he wasn't being badly damaged

I didn't necessarily agree with the cards but they were a lot closer to the truth than Coppinger's.

There's absolutely not going to be a NC. It's a win with a stoppage that was out of order. Nothing particularly unusual there but he did eat some serious shots.
