Rico is a great fighter but Adegbuyi looked out of sorts in this one. His timing and confidence were lacking.
Unfortunately, you would know who won the fight as soon as you get in this page and before opening the video.
Rico did an excellent fight as usual. This victory is a relevant one since Adegbuyi is a very accomplished kick boxer also but he was almost static in this match.
