Round-by-Round: Oleksandr Usyk vs. Rico Verhoeven - 23 May 2026

[gilgamesh]

Rico Verhoeven can hurt Usyk. Usyk can't hurt Rico.

7 rounds to 3 for Rico

[gregregegg]

I can’t emotionally handle Usyk losing… Usyk needs to just walk him down and beat him up. He has the class.

[Spud MK2]

[gilgamesh]

Usyk has him down in the 11th high drama to end the fight!

[deadpan]

Ffs. Boxing stinks.

[gregregegg]

This is the worst thing I have ever seen.

Worst thing is I think Usyk knocks him in the 12th…

This is a terrible mark on boxing.

[Ricky]

[Nightmare Roy]

Never in doubt

[Heldenjaeger]

Hopefully we get Agit vs Usyk in Germany and a proper KO. Sorry Usyk, this was pathetic.

[Ricky]

Peter Fury pretending to drop it as he was putting it in. The early stoppage was karma.

Why hate to say it? This was great

'Shades of Ali' Verhoeven boxes like Jim Carrey in Me, Myself and Irene. All fronts, not a lot of action. I don't know what fight Coop was watching but the fight was close, I had Usyk up by a couple of rounds before the stoppage. It was a slightly early stoppage but Verhoeven wasn't effectively defending himself, even after getting the extra time with the mouthpiece.

Usyk looked out of shape. His footwork was awful and there was low activity. It's time for him to retire. He's going to get knocked out in his next fight against a proper boxer with some power.

[NazNaci1]

Well, that was a bit sh*t.

We know who Uysk is fighting next.
