I have a weird feeling that Zhang vs. Kabayel will be pretty one sided.

    Not so sure about that. What about throwing the belts out of the ring after a fight?

    Watch his match against Chisora, for Heavyweight, it was a boxing masterclass, he boxed defensively and elusively against Makhmudov early as well. He can do anything he wants. He's a hell of a lot more versatile than you and most of the people on here are giving him credit for.

    I'm a Pole. And I cringe more with people actually not admitting that they lost, creating conspiracy theories & excuses (Fury, Wilder) than with a guy who gave his all and was frustrated it wasn't enough.

    I suspect you are right.

    I think Kabayel is a top 2 HW now. He hasn't had the chance to prove it but he will.

    Joshua has no Chin. None.

    Joshua took a lot of shots from big punchers and withstand most of them. If he had no chin, this wouldn't be possible.

    I rewatched recently. Great performance by Agit, he seemed a bit gassed at the end tho.

    Definitely, but as we've seen lately, it seems like he's worked out any issues with his cardio, at least up to 7 rounds. Because the pace he brought against Sanchez was suffocating. Certainly he could have gone at least 3 or 4 more bringing that output.

    Yeah I was right. Kabayel is legit and Zhang is old. I'm also impressed how good he took the power of Zhang

    I had the same feeling so I took Kabayel to win by stoppage in rounds 5 to 8 at 11/2 whoop whoop that's the takeaways sorted lol.
