    He did manage to beat Takam who went onto to beat Yoka but it's clear Makh is probably gate keeper level at best.

    Kabayel showed the Chisora win wasn't just an off night by Chisora he deserves a shot at some bigger names, he's a decent fighter and yes exposed Makh has a glass body.

    As soon as he didn't knock out Carlos Takam, I knew that Arslanbek Makhmudov was something different from what the media and fans portrayed him to be. Especially not a contender for the title.

    Yep l thought after that it would have been clear but you still had people here say he would be champion, baffling.

    Nah, Wilder is clearly much more durable than Mak.

    Makhmudov was completely owned by Kabayel who is good but nothing special.

    He was badly hurt to the chin and he literally couldn't take punches to the body.

    He's big, strong and ugly which intimidated many of his previous opponents. But other than size and punching power, Mak has nothing. Glass chin, glass body, glass heart, zero boxing skills and ring IQ, no speed and reflexes. And his footwork is worse than footwork of drunk 70 y.o. regular man in a pub.

    Shocked at out little resistance he offered going out from body shots like that. Kabayal is really good and was a terrible style match up for him with his slick skills, quick hands and movement but even though I like and rate Kabayal I didn't expect an early finish if he was going to spring the upset or from body shots.

    Mak's power will crack a lot of chins but if you're tough enough to take it or skilled enough to avoid getting clumped it's clear now he cannot take it like he can dish it out.

    I'm most impressed by guys like Kabayel who are basically part time boxers. They offer themselves as great sparring to the top dogs and actually make a name for themselves through these avenues then on 6 weeks notice, bam he's in there and does a demolition job on a big ugly hypejob. Good stuff.

    Shocked at how little resistance he offered?,,,times 10 for me. For a guy nicknamed the lion , he went out like a 20 year old tabby cat.
    I've seen a lot of his fights and this one was strange in the timid effort he offered,

    Almost, Wilder also got pretty good hand speed compared to Mak and Kud.
