Usyk didn’t prepare properly, Rico prepared probably like he never had before (respect).
Usyk wins a run back in 6 rounds. But Rico also could make a little noise and a lot of money after last night. Who wouldn’t want to see Rico-Wilder, Rico-Itauma and everything in between?
David Benavidez is wildly scary. Animal. Beast. It’s been about 45 years since I started following this beautiful sport of boxing daily. This guy is so special. It’s remarkable. Built different. 🙌🏻
I’m not sure tonight’s Tyson Fury beats last weekend’s Deontay Wilder. He definitely doesn’t beat Anthony Joshua. And let’s not even bring Usyk into this conversation. Usyk-Itauma please. #boxing
Is it just me, boxing friends, or is Katie Taylor slurring her words in a very worrying way. She doesn’t need a retirement fight she needs to retire. Hall of fame career. Amazing Champion. But she took far too many punches and you can hear them now I fear. Nothing left to prove.

Zuffa Boxing is a disaster. Train wreck level. @maxkellerman started by saying which zuffa is this? (It’s zuffa 4) but he actually said “there has been so many of them I can’t keep track” it’s 4. Including this one. 4. If you can’t keep track of that? Well that says it all.
Max Kellerman has lost all credibility in my eyes. This is beyond selling out, and I wish someone with a platform or pull in the boxing world calls him out for this. Listening to him talk in these Zuffa cards is ridiculous.
Kind of amazing that Dana White has put his name on something so incredibly bland and low energy. Nothing but respect for the fighters participating so far, but they are being sold short in every measurable entertainment metric. I wish I could love it. But this ain’t it.
Shouldn’t they just call it the “Ultimate Boxing Championship”? I mean you can’t really make the case that “Zuffa Boxing” is catchier than “UBC” right? ….UFC seems to have worked out well over time, no? 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Shakur looks unbeatable right now….but if I had to pick one guy at 135 or 140 who brings a style and a high level of ring IQ that we haven’t seem him solve yet?…this is that fight. #cosign ✅
