“He’d have been out of there. You know, and the extra pounds he put on, if he wasn’t super fit, look, this is from a boxing man that knows what I’m looking at and I know what pressure is. If he hadn’t been superfit, Usyk, he wouldn’t have withstood that pace. He wouldn’t have been able to withstand them punches and the amount of pressure that was getting put on him. So, of course, he’s had a great training camp, but look, if a man’s in front of you and there’s nothing available for you to hit and he’s pressing it, it’s a difficult scenario.”
‘If Oleksandr Usyk didn’t take Rico Verhoeven seriously he would have been stopped’
