    How many heavyweights of the past could take those shots from a 240 lb man? Tyson would be biting ears by the third round.

    People crap on this age but you just watched one of the biggest hitters of all time get battered by one of the better body punchers in heavyweight history (not top 5 but top 10 might not be a stretch).

    Ali would be fighting Derek Chisora 3 times instead of fighting these guys.

    Why would Kabayel wanna go backwards?

    It's Zhang's fault, not mine. We all saw he dropped Kabayel, right? Instead of being lazy, he should've been capitalized on it. He stood still in front of Kabayel like a utility pole.

    Zhang loses gas faster than a flat tyre but has insane power so is always dangerous.

    Those body shots tenderised his ribs and liver though and he just wilted.

    Kabayel made me a believer when he obliterated Makhmudov. He hasn't disappointed since.

    Some people just need a chance to shine and Kabayel is making the most of his moment.

    Kabayel one of the most lethal body punchers at heavy I have seen in decades. He's the most committed to it I can remember and just doesn't forget about it to head hunt.

    You missed a good fight. He went after the body mostly, ate some massive shots from Zhang and survived a KD.

    I really love watching Madrimov fight. I don't think I could handle him and Scotland losing on the same day.
