Rico Verhoeven vs Alexander Usyk prediction
The master of master in boxing and absolute favorite, Alexander Usyk.
Rico Verhoeven king of kickboxing, undefeated in title defences for 12-14 years and 2nd match in boxing…
First of all i do think Usyk is going to win because he is just to good and have so much more experience in this game.
For Rico it’s a new sport while boxing is half of kickboxing where Rico Verhoeven dominated intensely.
Rico is not a Jake Paul (while he did great imo for where he started), But Rico know what it is to be a world champion in a fighting sport.
A sport that is harder than boxing.
Ofcourse it’s diffrent and 12 rounds boxing is also extremely heavy, still a shin on your head or leg, pure bone and not padded is something else.
People that say Rico has not a chance, don’t know Rico and/or the fighting game.
Rico is an unique person with a bigger stronger physic than Usyk, but his mind and wanting to win is also insane.
It is a possibility that Usyk can’t handle that physic, even he already experienced bigger guys as Tyson Fury and Antonhy Joshua, Rico is sitll a diffrent cocktail.
And for that we simply don’t know.
Usyk mindset is also insane and that makes this fight so great imo, 2 winners that also believe in discipline.
We should think in diffrent possibilities since we don’t know untill the fight happens, but thinking before it happend Rico is easy will be suprised for sure.
Don’t think in the way it’s not his sport (was half) but think it as when Rico was focusing on a sport as kickboxing with more weapons he dominated hard and now that focus that he still have ofcourse ison boxing that he already knows also.
With Peter Fury a great trainer in his corner.
So will the stronger guy that knows what it is to be world chapion with his whole team find a strategy to beat Usyk is the question.
3 Things can happen, Usyk beats Rico in a battle where Rico also fgiht hard and show some beautiful things and fighting spirit (most likely), Usyk beats him hard because he is in a better flow in his art OR Rico does it and wins the WBC heavy weight title.
It’s real hot in Egypte also, i think Usyk wins something like with KO 9th round or later.
Heat is not in the favor of Rico Verhoeven being that big also.
I give it 70/30 for Usyk or maybe even 60/40.
