Athletes are not allowed to have an off day??? And mind you - Usyk tehnicaly stopped the guy when he got into it - he got on the paddle and then stopped him. Looking back the Ref stops a guaranteed KO there - Rico deserves great respect and I belive Rico can upset a few HW with his pressure style- would be great to see Rico fight Dubois Next.

Let’s all be real usyk was never really that good

Most Pure Boxers have a problem with Pressure fighter - because Boxing is dependent on distance contro,pivot on the outsidel and counter punching- think back to Maidana Mayweather 1 or even - this fight Usyk just didnt settle - also people must give Rico more credit- he has been in and around boxers the past 16 years - Shane Fury had the right game plan and Ricondidnt Gas, which should be commended for it being his 2nd fight - but he gets clipped comfortanly if they fight again. And im saying this and im not even an Usyk Fan. Just a Neutral Boxing lover.

To a kicboxer??. Lets stop all that. Inoue & Crawfors doesnt get that bly. Usyk has an issue with swarmer pressure fighters, especially if they are quick amd durable. Always been the case

@LCabonena There is an imperialist and comrades battle in play at the moment - THOSE ARE OUR BIGGEST Enemies. They may start working together and then our freedom is in jeopardy in this country.

AFRIKANERS are not our enemies in South Africa. The real enemies we have in South Africa are ANC comrades and Julius Malema.

Gayton - sadly the one thing the Nommer failed to teach you was that "not to respond and talk about everything you do" - some things you do people just dont need to know... let it happen in silence and give you the peace knowing you assisted. Forget about what people think and say about you. Street manners are hard to let go off - n Groot Bek praat alles wat jy doen. Mathuba se Kind! BIG 5 ✋️

I had him and his whole family including his trainers over at my private residence for dinner. I gave him 50 thousand rand from my salary in preparation of his next fight. Pls tell me how did I fail him ?

@RyanGarcia This is Boxing - you mean "I think he is down on the cards" ...

This is actually wild I’m sitting here and I think usyk is losing 🤯

@jakepaul You dont know shit about boxing!!!! Usyk looked Distracted and off rhythm for some reason, also due to Rico pressuring him. Fighters have those days - but stayed calm and relaxed and flipped the switch and that's all it takes.

Nah can’t get away from this but usyk is the best of our generation And rico just worked him every round So is rico the best of our generation ?

@SpiritofourLord @ShakurStevenson Yeah valid point - gave him an extra 10sec and then it seemed he regretted it.

@ShakurStevenson The ref also gave Rico more time to recuperate by letting him walk to his corner to get his mouth piece put back in after just getting dropped and hurt bad. Usyk was taking him out no matter what.

Usyk turned it on when he needed the ref helped for sure but who’s to say usyk wasn’t gone get him out of there he had plenty time.. Bad night in the office don’t look like he was in tip top shape to me!

@ShakurStevenson Looked Distracted and Slow yeah!!! But, stayed relaxed and calm all night - then flipped the switch and when he did was over! Rematch would be ok to watch but Rico showed the best he could, Usyk clips and buries him early if rematch? Usyk in 6 next time.

Had his WIN?? You disrespect the sport of Boxing - poor decision by referee i agree- was end of the round, the guy pressured Usyk all night, allow him to go into the final round - I think Usyk Clips and Buries him early in the 12th. Eventual TKO. Rico deserves great respect because he pressured the boxer and made Usyk struggle to find his rhythm - also Usyk looked Distracted this fight?

Rico Verhoeven just had his win over Oleksandr Usyk STOLEN by the ref‼️ Dominating Usyk as a 1-0 boxer and they stop the fight AFTER THE BELL⁉️ #UsykRico

@AmukelaniMoyani @Julius_S_Malema Drunkard

South Africa is paying too much attention to the pompous and CORRUPT @Julius_S_Malema !!

"prima-facie evidence" has put him where he is currently - together with his defense he will need to punch holes into that evidence if he wants to walk free - I've got a feeling he may know more then he wants us to belive... maybe not the shooter but knows alot. STF guys are highly trained and great actors/tole players as partnof their training if ever caught/mercenary duties- let's see what the law will present to the court.

@RushNews5 @Vencer89 But what if he is not the right person guys?

@SizweDhlomo "Accidentally charged me 10 times" ... instead of "accidentally overcharged me by X Rands"... you fucking with these desperate Twitter cats, to make yourself feel good for the weekend... some people!

Guys! Something amazing just happened to me. I went to this petrol station that I usually go to & the manager comes out to speak to me. He tells me that the last time I was there, they accidentally charged me ten times what was meant & I didn’t notice. So I take a look & 😳

Your kids are destroyed because you guys live destroyed lives - Extra marital affairs, gambling, disrespect, Ill discipline,!alcohol, drugs, sucking dick, etc ... Committed parents instill discipline, through sport and responsibility... dont blame the tennis or parents committing time to it. Fix yourselves.

@brigo99 @kamilarmc I have experience, parent/coaches can be very toxic to the point of destroying their child & athlete at the same time The sacrifice needs to be from the parent hiring, by the best coaching team (if their kid has talent) & then focusing on parenting

I am shocked on how and what Leylah father talks to her, It is insane. In the middle of the match between sets he says to her: "this girl you are playing, is a top 10 player, super solid, made quarterfinal of a Slam, something you never did." Seriously, what is this?!

@errolbsk "We...we...we...us...us...us..."

This govt seems to forget, that we defeated apartheid, we burnt tyres, faced the SADF, the apartheid police, got arrested. They forget we can and will do to them, what we did before. They mustn't try us.

@Jason2bartlett @AfricaFirsts What are you paid annualy for going around posting this bullshit?

@AfricaFirsts Is that why it’s the murder and crime capital of the world?

South Africans (SAns) 🇿🇦 are the world’s friendliest people, according to Remitly.

Education is nothing if you have no Common sense, judgement, forecasting, and risk management ability. You are used weak leadership like boMam Angie, Gwede,Carl Niehaus and Ubaba to compare Sello with - the Leader of the EFF is at best a mamgobozi... at Best. Lastly, yoy must educate yourself so you know true leadership...

One thing that’s uncontested is that the EFF has an Educated leadership. They consistently stay in school. ✊🏾❤️

@LCabonena None- why we need to fight to rid it off corrupt thugs and privileged racists.

Show me the greatest country better than South Africa.

Agree that part is harsh-I think we have to look at it in the context of his personality and that he is going to have find a way to improve on - dont fully agree with everything bexause i know the challenges of a dad who is agresive on a plan, especially when you have an extemely skilful and talented player - but the principle of his style is fully buy into- especially if you are a dad coach -this is consistent with Richard Williams, toni nadal, and many other parent coaches over the years - it is in the moment and under the instant pressure of "you have to find a way" or this tournament ends for us... very unique to tennis and especially because time is not a factor we get sacked into this mindset... these girls mature by themselves. Leylah been on tour now 6-7 years and still growing and waiting to mature.

@Whambahhlamm @brigo99 @kamilarmc “Something you have never done,” is unnecessary and vile. The best coaches send the same message without the insult. And I do believe in rigorous coaching.

@RenaldoGouws Renaldo hoop gaan goed- one thing you are right about, How 12Months change everything... DA-VF - PA- EFF ... who knows?

This is going to cause some fireworks tonight! A year ago, the South African contingent was sitting in the Oval Office looking like fools, and Ramaphosa was introducing his "white" agriculture minister. While they were busy selling lies, Dr Corne Mulder and his delegation were meeting with White House officials, setting the record straight, fighting for EVERY South African. When someone shows you who they are, believe them. Catchy slogans, trendy videos and clever election campaigning are one thing, but action will always speak louder than words. And this is where the difference lies: The @VFPlus fights for YOU. Be sure to tune in tonight!

The people who understand Afrikaaners dont doubt them, infact work with and appreciate there history and traditions. Ernst, we have seen this so often, becareful that you dont become too egotistical distant and isolate and discredit yourself from the afrikaaners, and next thing you in "exile"somewhere in Rotterdam or The afrikaaner community in South America with dollars in your couch. We have seen this shit-show story before and it doesnt end well. Not saying you a "Afrikaaner Cadre" but their are signs.

People who say Afrikaners won't outlive the ANC either underestimate Afrikaners, or overestimate the ANC, or both.
