Usyk VS Verhoeven Pyramids in Giza May 23 Unified Heavyweight title

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

While growing up, I saw boxing as a serious sport. It's the only sport paid to watch where pugilists are rightly licensed to kill without being in a war situation. Today, that sport is turning to entertainment. That level of seriousness is almost fading away.

No, they are not in the ring to kill; there's no killing that's going to happen, there is a referee, doctors, and even the boxer's corner to stop the fight.
The boxer can also surrender if he feels that he suffers too much. Boxing is a game of skill on offense and defense; you are not training to kill your opponent, if it were so, they would allow a rabbit punch or a punch behind the neck.

Most likely it will be the corner that is going to stop the fight if they see that their boxer is not doing well.

We should give Verhoeven a chance here because recently we've seen a big upset. David Morrell suffers shock knockout defeat to Zak Chelli in Manchester.

I even see a report that Morrell's opponent is just a school teacher.

Yes, I know punching behind the neck or back of the head isn't allowed and that's for safety reason. However, do you know that boxers are licensed to kill in the ring? Yeah, they're and that's why boxers don't get arrested when their opponents die in the ring as a result of a fight.

Bookies dont give Rico a chance. Usyk is a favorite with 1.04 and Rico is almost 10. Its either lucky punch or injury that would help Rico to win. But, in a fight Usyk vs Dubois, Dubois was also a huge underdog but managed to land a nice shot (which many call as low blow) that sent Usyk to knockdown. This isnt a good example, but I only wanted to say that every fighter has a chance to win in heavyweight division.

That's true, I'm a believer in upset. I have seen it happen so many times in boxing, and it happened because the favorite underestimates the underdog.
I know that Usyk is an exceptional fighter, having fought many different boxers, but this time he will face a fighter whose skill is not that of a boxer, so he is fighting not only Verhoeven but also himself. He should never think that it's going to be an easy fight, because Verhoeven can punch.

You know in heavyweight division anything can happen. Tyson Fury, the gypsy king, was once one of the greatest boxers, undefeated, but Francis Ngannou, MMA fighter, has managed to knock Fury down. Even though he lost later, but he has shocked boxing community. Rico could surprise with his stamina. Usyk might get a cut or injury, that will force ref to stop the fight. An accidental headbutt, deep cut, doctors stops the fight and we have a new champion.

Exactly, there are accidents that no one wanted to see like a headbutt that can change the complexion of the fight. Or that one punch that if hit at the right area will bring the fighter down and cannot recover because of the blow.

And yes, this is heavyweight, this guys are huge and anyone can pack a one punch knockout. Hopefully, Usyk won't be caught napping in this fight, otherwise it will be a embarrassment on his records to be defeated by a non boxer.

I will consider it an update of the year or even the biggest upset in boxing history. Usyk is an undisputed and undefeated heavyweight champion, which means he is the best heavyweight boxer in terms of power and skill at present, and to lose to a non-boxer is just unthinkable.
And this will put Verhoeven to a new height because he has achieved what all the best contenders cannot, and that is beating Usyk.

Rico Verhoeven is quickly going to realize that boxing with heavyweight Champion is on another level, and think this fight will finish quickly with him on the floor.
Story would be completely different if Usyk faced him in kickboxing, or if they had special MMA rules, but that is not the case here.
This is going to be just another warm up for Usyk and odds are confirming this.

[bbc.reporter]

@notblox1. Agreed that Usyk can very much knockout this Verhoeven more easily than Daniel Dubios. However, you are also correct that this will be something similar to a warm for Usyk and this causes me to speculate that Usyk will be using much energy for this fight and win with a unanimous decision heheheh.

I very much wish Usyk with a decision will have odds of 1.50 or higher hehe.

This statement is not legally accurate but it is partially true because in fact participants sign legal waivers stating that the boxer accepts the risks including serious injury or death so the boxer is not considered a murderer if his opponent dies within the rules. But we cannot say that the law gives him a “license to kill”...

It is not a “license to kill” but rather an exemption from criminal liability as long as the death occurred within the framework of legal competition and under referee supervision.
