Joyce and Kabayel aren't really comparable at all. I'm not sure Kabayel would absorb some of the shots Parker got on Joyce quite as well. It's an interesting fight though. Additionally I'd love to see how Kabayel does against Zhang and Joyce.
Great fight that I have a difficult time predicting. One guy is in the midst of his coming out party while the other is having a Renaissance. Kabayel does emulate Joyce to a degree which could mean trouble given his pressure, Joe also looked uncomfortable by Whyte's pressure as well. I never saw the Joyce vs Parker fight in its entirety and am not sure what to make of it. Parker has made a nice bounce back since and looks to have gotten in better shape. Kabayel to his credit fights nothing like Wilder and Zhang who Parker seemed to match up nicely with. Kabayel is a fighter that I really saw little of until his recent breakout wins vs Sanchez and the caveman like Russian dude and I am not sure either guy is that reflective of Parker and his experience and style. I think this fight will tell us if Kabayel is for real and if Parker's surge is the product of styles make fights or if he really is back. I really like this fight, I guess I have to lean slightly toward Parker but would not be shocked at all if he lost
As a Parker fan Im not keen on this matchup. JP can def win but the styles I don't feel would gel and could be a stinker JP v Fa type JP should concentrate on the big hitters and slow movers ZZ rematch most likely next up- dangerous early doors
