If Zhang couldn't stop Kabayel then Wardley isn't imo. Though an upset could occur, especially if he gets another favorable ref in the UK
I really like Huni as a fighter, he has exceptional skills, but Kabayel is still more lethal with more power and he would certainly justify being a better fighter than Wardley, which Huni failed to do.
Kabayel showed he has kind of a leaky defense. Winnable fight for Wardley, still I would favor Agit. 60/40.
If Huni dominated 99% of the fight against Wardley then so would Kabayel, Wardley relies on power and that's pretty much it.
Yes , but power is not unimportant especially at heavy . Ask parker. Wardley is similar to prime wilder.
Kabayel was almost beaten by an unknown guy outside top 30, if the ref didn't stop the fight and gifted him the win. He has no chance against elite boxers. Look at his eye. And he looked spent in only 3 rounds. Fury, Joshua, Usyk, Itauma, Wardley all smash him into bits.
Almost beaten is crazy talk. Knyba had a very good first round, in the second Kabayel started to feel the groove and he dominated the third. Knyba was gassed. Agit would have finished it with 2-3 more punches.
On the contrary, Kabayel look spent to me in 3rd round. He was giving everything he has, and he would gas out if the ref didn't gift him the win. Ref sensed it too and stopped the fight in favor of Kabayel. Haven't you seen the crowd? The ref didn't want to disappoint them. Knyba probably would knock him out later if he didn't stop the fight.
Zhang also hits harder than Wardley, so even if it does go late Kabayel gets back up and breaks him down with body shots
