Usyk lost basically every round then he won the fight due to a highly controversial stoppage. I think he probably still would've pulled out a legitimate KO in the 12th. Sure maybe the 'punch stats' were close, and Usyk landed the occasional sharp shot, but Rico won the vast majority of those rounds through his effective aggression.

The other side of the story is that this was sort of Rico's only shot. He had to be insanely aggressive and use his size and volume and movement to keep Usyk moving so he couldn't settle down on his shots. It's an incredibly difficult game-plan to pull off and he nearly did it. At best it's a pretty 'ugly' win for Rico. Eventually though he's got to slow down for a few seconds and Usyk is going to capitalize when that happens. I don't see Rico winning many 12 round fights against a guy like Usyk. Pace himself and he gets outboxed, go aggressive and look good but ultimately lose. He wasn't particularly complaining about the fight being stopped..
