🤔Rico Verhoeven says it was ‘fishy’ when the open scoring had the fight even after 8 rounds against Usyk
“Then we get the scorecards again after round 8 and still we were even. I don’t know, this starts to feel like fishy.”

Peter Fury confronted referee Mark Lyson at the airport about the controversial stoppage in Usyk x Rico, and they agreed on one thing:
“I just walked over and said, ‘Mark, what happened in there?’
He just looked at me and said, ‘I did my best at the time.’
I said, ‘It was wrong. The bell had already gone. He was on his feet. He was fighting back. Why didn’t you send him to a corner?’
I never really got an answer from him on any of that. I mentioned, ‘Why did you do it after the bell?’ And he said, ‘Peter, I never heard the bell.’
To be honest, to give him credit, I didn’t hear the bell myself.”

😡 Rico Verhoeven reacts to controversial stoppage by the referee in Usyk fight:
“I kept my hands up, waited for the bell. And then he jumped in and said ‘it’s over, I stopped it.’
I said ‘what do you mean it’s over? What the heck is going on here?’ So, for me, it was a surprise.”

Usyk’s punches aren’t that powerful ? You’d better ask DanielDubois about that.

I live in the boxing space, and I see plenty of boxing people shit on MMA and other fight sports here and there. But I see consideringly more of it coming from the MMA world toward boxing on a consistent basis. This weekend, a bunch of MMA pundits and influencers acted like Rico performing above expectations in a loss to Usyk was somehow a flex for MMA, despite the fact that Rico is a kickboxer.
Ariel Helwani@arielhelwani
The boxing elitists think they’re part of a sport that’s somehow superior to every other combat sport. “You don’t know shit about boxing. Only the intellectuals can truly understand it.” Yet in almost every major crossover fight, the debutante has actually done pretty well. Conor had success early. Francis, I still think, won. And Rico should’ve been ahead going into the 12th. The element of the unknown, the surprise factor, tends to play into the hands of the debutante. Now, what happened to Francis against AJ should be a lesson for Rico. Once there’s tape and opponents know what to expect, the outcome can look very different. But spare me with the boxing superiority complex. If boxers entered MMA or kickboxing, we wouldn’t even be having this discussion.

Rico Verhoeven explains how the open scoring affected his mindset during the Usyk fight:
"There were open scorecards and after 4 rounds, they said we're even. I was like, 'Hmm, ok.' I felt like it was at least 3 to 1, but ok, we're even, that's fine.
Then we got the scorecards again after another 4 rounds.... And still we were even. It started to feel fishy because I felt like I was winning these rounds.
I was working more, I was getting hit less... So maybe I have to push it a little bit more."
English
“I was outboxing one of the best boxers ever. How cool is that? That made me feel so next level.
Of course, after the fight, I was hurt. I was disappointed. I was sad. But then, looking back at it and getting all the love from across the world for what happened and how it happened, it’s just like, wow.
I can just be so thankful that I got this opportunity.”
Rico Verhoeven explains why he’s choosing to view his performance against Oleksandr Usyk in a positive light despite the result.
English
😅 Rico Verhoeven wants to appeal Oleksandr Usyk fight just to get an apology for the bad stoppage:
“To be honest, all I’m actually looking for is an apology. Like ‘Yo Rico, we’re sorry. This should’ve went differently’. And that’s it.
What else can I ask for?”

Con una pequeña investigación que realicé ayer y esta mañana he descubierto que el entrenador de Usyk de los anteriores 7 combates no participó en este campamento (y no estuvo en la pelea) y que el campamento de Usyk era "una fiesta continua sin ninguna rutina clara"

Funny how the same crowd who STILL scream about Fury and the so-called "long count" against Deontay in Los Angeles were perfectly good with the 30-second break that Rico got here.
Truth is, these prejudiced, cultish "fans" reveal themselves all the time.

💯that the bell had rung when fight was stopped, but also obvious that just as bell sounded the ref had already started to stop the fight. Take a look & Listen! #usykvsverhoeven

🗒️🫣 Rico Verhoeven says that he knew the official scorecards every 4 rounds, and it felt fishy:
“After four rounds, we got scorecards, we’re even. I felt like I was winning at least 3 to 1.
Then we get the scorecards again, after another four rounds. We were still even.
This started to feel fishy…”

Rico Verhoeven breaks down the final sequence against Oleksandr Usyk and the controversial stoppage from his perspective 👀
“I got hit with the uppercut. People who know my fights know I’ve been dropped multiple times... No matter how much time is left on the clock, I get back up and I end up winning.
That was the mindset... I got back up, they put the mouthpiece back in, and I heard there were only 10 seconds left. So I thought, ‘Oh, okay, that’s good.’
Let me keep my hands up and get to the 12th round. I knew he was going to come straight at me, so I thought, ‘Pop, pop, keep my hands up and wait until the bell goes.’
And then it was just like, when is the bell gonna go? Those 10 seconds were taking a long time. Then he jumped in, and I was like, ‘Ok, fuck, the round is over.’
He’s like, ‘No, it’s over.’
I was like, ‘What the heck is going on here?’”
