    Everything points to Kabayel smelling big money; Rico's value has risen, and now Kabayel wants a piece of the pie...

    Sorry but Kabayel will lose fans if he does this. Inexcusable

    Sigh. Boxing is turning more and more into WWE.

    No he isn't, Knyba sticks an 86 inch reach in Ricos face and Rico will be able to do nothing about it

    You reckon Usyk would struggle with Knyba?

    You reckon Fury struggles with Ngannou and gets dropped on his ass ? No you wouldn't, you would have never guessed that before it happened. Doesn't mean Ngannou is a good boxer. Anyone in the top 20 not named Usyk smokes Rico, and Kabayel is going to prove it

    Ngannou surpised me, but I legit thought Rico was going to give Usyk a problem or 2, and he did.

    I’ve experienced many of his GLORY fights up close. He’s a tremendous athlete and fighter, with a will to win like no other, who always came back from adversity (if given the chance…)

    Credit where credit is due.

    Kabayal is going to take this fight for money.

    Turki loves Verhoeven and he's willing to pay good money for the Kabayal vs Verhoeven fight. Both guys are going to get a good payday out of this, so why not?

    I know people are not going to be happy about Verhoeven getting another chance, but he's a big name now and Kabayal see this is a very winnable fight, while making more money than he ever has in his career.
