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

    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.

    I loved that fight, Kabayel just kept coming and throwing and Zhang tanking it and throwing heavy shots back. Even had the knock down to stop it from being too one sided and show Zhang still had a bit of threat.

    Kabayel has a decent chin on him, I like how his style has been consistent and he does the same thing over and over again in his last three fights and its just kept working for him.

    Good call :thumbsup:

    Obviously not the result I wanted as a Big Bang fan but damn, what a performance from Kabayel. Aside from a minor blip it was just about perfect. Proved his whiskers and recovery skills well in this fight.

    And hey, Zhang kept his dropped or stopped streak going, so at least the backers of the Big Bang like me got something. Not much but better than nothing :lol:

    Kabayel was incredible. Thought he would be circling and pot shotting but he really bet on himself. Took many of those Zhang shots clean too
