    The good news for him is he's no longer going to be ducked.

    I overrated this guy a lot I’ll admit but Kabayel also was very solid. I’d like to see him in with a top 10 guy next.

    I have a cat named Canelo.

    He’s a big, feisty ginger and he doesn’t duck anybody. Well, except the girl just out of college that I work with who came over to deliver a couple Christmas presents … he ran and hid when she tried to pet him. Oh, and the vacuum cleaner.

    Makhmudov should fight Dubois. Thats his level.

    Both extremely powerful but overrated.

    Dubois is levels above him. Different league, if we are talking about offensive and defensive skills, speed, footwork and ring IQ. And yes, Dubois is limited and has some serious flaws

    As a guy who has to confess to at least having a sip of the Makh Kool-Aid...it pains me to say this, but...

    Makh might not be as bad as you think he is...he might actually be worse.

    I don't want to detract from Kabayel's performance but here was Kabayel's last fight against an opponent who gave Kabayel a more difficult time (even if the fight ended by an early stop). Credit to @Chuck Norris for bringing this fight to my attention.

    And this was an opponent who had already lost his 0 (by first round stoppage, no less). Yeah, "styles make fights"...but don't forget about "levels".

    Only thing left for Makh I think is to hop a plane to Uzbekistan to be Dychko's next opponent.

    Whoever fights him in the future will simply proceed with all out body attack. The man seems to have a glass body.

    True. But the people are fighting Dychko are men with limited options which is a category that Makh has now joined.

    We don't know about Dychko's gas tank or chin yet, but Makh is not going to be the guy who provides us with the answers.

    Best next fight for DuBois would be against Efe Ajagba. Efe is an obvious hypejob, IMO.
