Zhang vs Kabayel - Preview/Prediction Video

I'll go with zhang again (I always go with him). Going full forward doesnt look the best style to me to beat zhang.

 

Weights:

Kabayel: 241
Zhang: 287.5

 

For christ sakes Zhang. This is not good. He needs to be as close to 270 as possible.

 

I don't think Kabayel will be able to get in range and deliver his punches without getting something back. But as always with Zhang take it past 6 rounds and his chance of winning goes down by a lot.

I was watching a video he uploaded about his gym/S&C work and he was doing rounds on the treadmill, they even only trained 6 rounds on the treadmill lol, so I don't think he is going to have any more stamina than in the Parker fight.

 

Kabayel will outbox Zhang

 

Going with Kabayel. He will fight smart and win a decision.

 

Zhang. The change in weight won't matter as long as he lands a punch.

@Rumsfeld any chance of a last minute video on Parker v Bakole?

 

I'm picking Kabayel to outlast answer down Zhang though a solid ko wouldn't surprise me either if agit gets caught early

 

Part of what I thought really cost Zhang the Parker fight was 3 things

1, he dropped Parker so easily with one shot that it felt to me that he expected Parker to just go down on the next connect and fought just looking for or expecting the shot and he stopped setting it up

2, parkers footwork rarely let Zhang get set

3, parkers overhand right counters were a good deterrent

 

Solid analysis

 

Zhang has stamina issues.
Kabayel by late stopppage.

 

Agree with Rummy except I think a stoppage by Kabeyel is not out of the question. That brutal hook to the body is going to play on Zhang's stamina issues.

 

Hard one to call, I could see Kabayel winning on points or Zhang coming from behind and knocking Kabayel out.

I'm going with Kabayel to win on points. But this is a step up in class for Kabayel, he's going to have to put in a flawless performance, one mistake and it could be over.

 

I'm scared for Kabayel man

 

Kabayel 9 rd tko .. to slick to fast for Zhang at age 42 !!! After rd 3 Zhang will slow down and Kabayel picks up the pace !! Throws lots of body shots / soften Zhang for a 9 td tko
