    Not easily I don't think, but I'd favour him. Dubois has better stamina than Zhang but I'd say he's easier to catch clean and isn't as dynamic offensively (he can't really counter in the way Zhang does). I'd pick Kabayel by 11th round TKO or maybe a decision if Dubois is actually done quitting.

    All I know is Parker wouldn't have been a pushover for Dubious

    So he is lucky he got ill and will now get the ultimate goal, a Usyk rematch in the summer.

    Although I don't think Usyk is wise to take this fight. He knows he can win it...but what for, to prove to himself that he's on the slide so can make the retirement decision with utter conviction? maybe

    Fury is happy in fake retirement eating his popcorn and peanuts watching all these contendors slap each other around and watching AJ & Hearn crying. He'll step up when someone outside of Usyk establishes themselves fully, don't think he'll remain patient enough for that to happen though.

    Kabayel has the skills and smarts to in all likelihood beat Dubois comfortably and most likely stops him mid-late .

    Let's make usyk Kaybel or parker depending on how he looks tonight

    He already beat Dubois easily, he doesn't need yet another rematch. I can understand the rematches with the other 2, as they were the A side, but no point fighting Dubois for a paper title, which really still belongs to usyk

    I'd love to see usyk vs Kaybel. Should usyk win? It elevates him more than schooling Daniel again

    No he wont. Dubois has that powerjab to keep him at bay, plus the offensiv arsenal to punish Agit when he tries to come close...this will be a brutal fight, but I think Dubois will stop Kabayel late.

    I have had a high opinion of Kabayel and believed he would do exactly what he did. Now we know Kabayel has a jaw, and can get up and go on attack again effectively. I think he wears Dubois down. Kabayel has no fear. I think he will give Usyk a handful.

    If he can weather the early storm be could end up breaking the heart of Dubious

    Dubois proper fills Kabayel in no doubt about it.

    Let's calm down here. Kabayel has good talent but this was his first win vs a legit top 10 heavyweight. And i am not counting Sanchez or Makhmudov despite them being hyped.

    Kabayel could beat Dubois with vicious bodyshots but lowering your hands vs Dubois to throw a left hook can easily get you nailed with a big right hand. It's no where near as easy as you guys are making it out to be.

    Definitely not easily, but he has a chance. Would love to see this fight
