Kickboxer Rico Verhoeven shared his impressions of the final of the fight with WBC, WBA and IBF world champion Alexander Usik, who won by technical knockout in the 11th round. According to the athlete from the Netherlands, a draw was recorded on the judges' cards, which forced him to take risks, trying to win the fight. " So many people asked me why I went ahead so hard in the 11th round. I replied that you were looking at the unofficial score in the broadcast, but in reality it was a draw, so I needed to continue to apply pressure. Of course, after ten rounds of aggression it seemed to me that I was winning. But the score was level, so I had to keep pushing things. Then I landed a clean uppercut, which he threw very well.. Yes, it was a mistake," Let us remember that earlier Verhoeven responded to comments that Usyk underestimated him.
