Oleksandr Usyk vs Rico Verhoeven

Oleksandr Usyk vs Rico Verhoeven

I think Usyk will take it. Verhoeven is a great kickboxer, but his boxing is not elite like Usyk.

Unified heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk will defend his WBC title against renowned kickboxer Rico Verhoeven on Saturday, May 23, at the legendary Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. This historic bout, set against the backdrop of one of the world's most iconic landmarks, will air live on DAZN.

Usyk comes in 25 pounds lighter than Verhoeven for WBC title fight

will try to watch it later depending on what time it is on

not sure about this one

we laugh at fury vs francis - but he went the distance, and the AJ dropped him in 2

supposedly rico has been training with fury's uncle for 6 straight months on boxing, as before this fight he was meant to be facing AJ

he hits extra hard, so if he lands on usyk.. could be interesting. especially if it is early

of course usyk is a wizard with angles, movement, parrying shots with his gloves, never keeping still, moving his head, and using his jab hand with that circling motion to block the boxers views/cover up what his next shot will be

will say 75/25% for an uysk win

It is interesting because Verhoeven is an undefeated heavy weight kickboxer and with Usyk as the undefeated heavy weight in boxing.Verhoeven is 25lbs heavier.

Might have stopped a few seconds soon, but I have seen worse.

check out the thread in the sports sub section brah

it was a bad stoppage imo, brah might have survived the 12th and won on points

we'll never know. he was hurt, but with only seconds left on the clock, should have let him continue.

watching on tiktok it sounded like the bell had gone before the ref stopped it

it's said he has great recovery too because of his kickboxing career. he's done 3 fights in 1 night before. so who knows how the 12th would have gone.

if he had clinched a little more to get a breather, and leaned on uysk that might have helped

hopefully we see a rematch

Usyk didn't seem to be the same fighter he was against Fury. But, Rico is strong and huge and he came prepared.

what do you brahs make of this, do you think usyk sniffed something? looked like they tried to hide it behind the water bottle - hard to see on browser as those icons are covering the part of the screen. clearer on mobile - or expand screen button on browser works.. maybe a little sketchy - hard to tell
