@44Lotuss @SpecialNeedsMMA according to the rulebook the ref can stop the fight anytime, even in between rounds.. so yes, it makes no sense.

@RichDelta @SpecialNeedsMMA It genuinely makes no sense why everyone is crying everyone knew going into this rico would gas out at some point and usyk would abuse it, exactly that happens brutally over a minute period and he gets stopped. But cuz there’s 1 second left everyone cries corruption

Rico Verhoeven is the WBC world champion and the number 1 heavyweight in the world, I don't accept that finish

@thepatwalls Nice YouTube episodes

Giving away the game IS the game. I've had a few founders turn down Starter Story episodes lately: "What if it invites competition?" "But what's in it for me?" Wrong questions. I shared every detail of how I built Starter Story for years. Copycats showed up every month. Most didn't last. Even the successful copycats never hurt my business - they only grew the overall pie! The Cal AI guys did the same. Open-sourced their playbook, inspired thousands, and exited for absurd money. And every month, I have people telling me their business 4x'd since our starter story episode. The founders protecting their secrets are the ones nobody's heard of.

@francis_ngannou But he lost ??

Outsiders will never win, trust me I know, but Rico was the winner tonight. Period.

@ChampRDS Good stoppage ! Saved him from serious harm

🚨 Rico Verhoeven suggests he'll appeal the loss to Oleksandr Usyk after seeing it was stopped after the bell "They stopped the fight after the bell. I think we might just go and appeal it because this doesn't make any sense. When the referee came in, I wasn't dazzled or whatever. I was looking at the referee like 'why are you stopping, we're almost there'. It didn't make any sense to me. That's something he should be aware of. Of course mistakes can be made, but the referee should admit his mistake. Look back at it and say it's either a No Contest, or we go to the scorecards. And if we go to the scorecards, I was ahead." (via @BoxingNewsED)

@jackalter Maybe in your own head . Legacy will only remember the win

I know he won but a PERFORMANCE THAT BAD has stained Oleksandr Usyk’s legacy.

@ChivalryGuild Good stoppage

The stoppage looks very bad in the shorter clip, but rewind it a minute and notice how much time Rico buys with the mouthpiece tactic after getting brutally dropped. He was going to get finished, either in the 11th or the 12th.

@usykaa Pure domination well done champ

What did you think of the fight? Share your thoughts in the comments. I’d be interested to read them!

@CombatSports20 @_femoo @ringmagazine @HUMAIN yeah i agree. the movement wasn't there. rico was awkward but usyk was the sloppiest i have seen him. time is undefeated and all that.

@_femoo @RichDelta @ringmagazine @HUMAIN Usyk is 39 by the time he fights Kabayel or Itauma he will be 40 dude. Rico is the heavyweight goat of kickboxing he's a beast but usyk looked really bad

USYK WINS ‼️ Oleksandr Usyk retains his Ring and WBC heavyweight titles, stopping a valiant Rico Verhoeven in round 11 💥 Presented by @HUMAIN. Glory in Giza | May 23rd | LIVE on DAZN 🥊

@44Lotuss @SpecialNeedsMMA his lead trainer said exactly this

@SpecialNeedsMMA Bro he was basically out on his feet even after getting 30seconds count and helped to his corner for some extra time, he would’ve went down even worse in the 12th why risk it

@_femoo @CombatSports20 @ringmagazine @HUMAIN 100 percent .. and despite the announcers giving rico a shutout it was pretty equal in my book at least according to boxing scoring. always interesting to see what that AI boxr thing says

@CombatSports20 @RichDelta @ringmagazine @HUMAIN Itauma and Kabayel are proper boxers. Enough fight tapes are there to study for Usyk should he fight either of them. Let's all agree Rico was so awkward and that posed a lot of challenge for Usyk. Bad night but feels like the same challenge Fury dealt with fighting Ngannou

@CombatSports20 @ringmagazine @HUMAIN love usyk. but he should have retired after beating Duboius to become 2-time.

@ringmagazine @HUMAIN Usyk should vacate his remaining titles and retire or just fuck off and do freak show fights with washed up wilder or Ngannou

@OSheaSEO What dashboard is that

Joker Mag organic socials are rolling right now. Earned Media Value = $56K, which means that a lot of brands are leaving meat on the bone by not partnering with us. That'll change soon. Cool numbers here, but the most important one is in the bottom left corner ;)

@noahkagan newbie stuff

Last Saturday night, 2:55 AM started the worst week of the year for me. Facebook restricted our ad account out of nowhere. Fifteen years of running Facebook ads. Over $20M spent cumulatively. I personally helped build Facebook Ads in the early days. And on a random Saturday night, an email landed saying our account was restricted, no reason given. 😞 I figured it would resolve itself. Our ads are straightforward comparison ads for products we promote on AppSumo. I called Facebook (you can actually call them), and the rep said they'd review it and have it cleared in 24 to 48 hours. I looked at the recent ads. Two had been rejected, both AI software ads. Nothing that should take down a whole account. Context: my last startup got permanently banned by Facebook. That ban killed our revenue from $150K a day down to $15K a day overnight. That's a story for another time. But sitting there at 2:55 AM, all of that fear came rushing back. 48 hours later, Monday morning. Still restricted. I called again. They said it looked positive and we'd get an email when it cleared. I started checking email obsessively. Nothing. So I went into Hail Mary mode. I reached out to Naomi, a VP of product. To the COO. To the CTO. To old account managers. To friends who work there. I even found a guy whose entire business is getting people's Facebook accounts unbanned. (Ours wasn't technically banned, just restricted, but yolo.) Every night that week, my family would go to sleep and I'd go upstairs and call Facebook ad support. I was depressed. I was frustrated. The thought running through my head was that 16 years of work was about to get erased because some intern or agency we'd worked with did something stupid I didn't know about. Thursday, 1 AM. I'm in the account again, scrolling through the restriction page, and I notice something I hadn't seen before. A line that says "data sources restricted." I click into it. It says: you're sending traffic from an adult site. WHAT!?! I sat there staring at it. That is not possible. I started digging to figure out wtf. It turns out there's a thing called pixel bombing. Pixels are public. Someone can grab your pixel and intentionally place it on bad sites to get you banned. I didn't know this existed until that moment. Maybe it was this? Then I dug deeper and realized years ago we'd built a product, and someone had taken our AppSumo Facebook tracking pixel and put it on that product. A random user of that product put it on a adult site. Facebook saw traffic from an adult site coming into our pixel and flagged the whole account. I removed the pixel from the product. Blocked the offending sites in Facebook's settings. Submitted a new review request. The next morning, the account was unlocked. Poof. A few lessons for others: - Audit your pixels. Know where they are placed. - Have a separate ad account running as a backup so if something happens you are not dead in the water. - Get an account rep account support set up before you need it. Or find an agency who has direct Facebook contacts. - And if you're a smaller company doing 50% or 75% of your revenue on one channel, build a hedge. The day Facebook decides you don't exist, you don't. One thing that was a quiet positive in the middle of all this: our ads were dark for 48 hours and the revenue impact was smaller than I expected. Facebook ads are 5-10% of our business. Worth knowing what each channel actually contributes when it goes to zero. That was the worst week of my life in the past years! And it came down to a pixel I forgot we had, on a product I forgot we built, on a site I never visited.

@duttasomrattwt its a terrible thumbnail to start

sad to see ali abdaal's reach is cooked :(

When a vid goes "viral" and gets 600K views, @Maxwell_Maher gets pissed because that means it underperformed Clean Girl has 20 MILLION subs on YouTube and has done 18 BILLION views. The numbers are insane. Max parlayed that success on organic into a line of toys that's already in over 5,000 doors in less than 6 months, including Target. If crushing organic is a serious priority for your brand in 2026, you need to watch this vid Watch the full episode here: youtube.com/watch?v=Ff-BVv…

@MediaKing Bad strategy

When my wife and I setup our irrevocable trusts, we put 50% of MarketBeat equity in our two trusts. When they get profit distributions, the money goes straight to our RIA to invest in index funds on our behalf. At scale, investing should be both boring and automatic.

@e_plutarchos he looks unwell. probably a vegan

The modern pop “philosopher” is a shallow, purposeless and embarrassing fraud. Safe, non-threatening, strikingly unoriginal. These self satisfied snobs sneer at Nietzsche, know nothing of Aristippus, pretend Aurelius is interesting.
