Absolute robbery of a stoppage; the round was over. Both guys were robbed there, Rico was robbed of his chance to continue and Usyk was robbed of potentially getting a definitive KO in the 12th. I mean what on earth was that call?

The timer disappeared with 9 seconds on the clock till the end of the round, the bell rang 22 seconds after the timer disappeared, I'm not a mathematician but 22 - 9 = 13, that's 13 seconds of corruption, don't know how no one notice it

He was allowed to long to recover and then they stopped him early! The whole thing was a shambles…corruption at its finest…needs to be a rematch and an investigation

Rico can take those punches. Shouldn't be stopped like that

Rico winning wouldn’t have made a mockery of the sport. Boxing had been a joke for years. There is always some nonsense around it and boxing fans refuse to acknowledge the issues.

It was werid before the fight someone said rico doesn't belong here . Like no one looked at rico's glory kickboxing career ... they kept saying wrestling and elbows ... Rico is not a mma guy ...he's a glory kickboxing guy , it's more boxing and kicks and I wasn't surprised at his boxing skills because technically it was small adjustment to his skills

I think it was Usyk who were robbed of a glorious victory. The referee shouldn’t have stopped it and let Rico took the KO.

Early stoppage. Usyk was finishing Rico next round...they both got robbed.

Rico was robbed of an opportunity to try to win, not a win itself.

The stoppage is after the bell! They are indeed correct to appeal this decision and they should take it to the highest authority to decide on this illegal stoppage! The boxing world is corrupt and they should look into this to stop that corruption. It is also totally disrespectful to Usyk that maybe could have knocked him down in the last round or he would loose on ghe score card! Follow the Money to get to who is responsible for this!

There was no robbery, ref saved Rico from further injuries, Rico was already gone, Usyk was going to win anyway.

It looked like the ref jumped in to break them up because it was the end of the round, people assumed he was stopping the fight, and then the ref kinda just went with it

I *CAN* believe this happened because yes it is the same old story where any outsider hasn't got a punchers chance. Bullshit.

That was ridiculous, rico has insane endurance and durability, he’d have had a bit to rest because the bell rang, all he had to do was survive after that knockdown and he did. He fought in worse conditions

This emotionally charged Usyk pile-on from casual fans is absolutely gorgeous 😂
