They're all hit and miss. Kabayel can be beaten but only by someone sexy like Fury or Usyk. Bakole on 2 days notice will show us what's up with Parker. Bakole is no joke but without a camp Parker should be able to edge a decision on him.
Not necessarily. Parker has the better resume. Makhmudov wasn't good at all. Sanchez is another over hyped Cuban. And while the win over Zhang today is outstanding, i will argue that when Parker beat Zhang, Zhang was at his highest in his confidence level as he was just coming off the back to back wins vs Joyce. This current Zhang IMO isn't as good as the Zhang that Parker beat, albeit in a much more competitive fight. Kabayel does appear to have a brighter future than Parker. He is younger, in better shape, not carrying an extra 30 lbs on his frame, and has less wear and tear. But better right now? Not so sure.
They seem to be on a similar level. Kabayel still has his undefeated confidence, Parker has a bit more veteran experience.
Yes 8 months in terms of chronological age. But Parker has a lot of wear and tear. The fight vs Joshua, the fights vs Chisora and Whyte and Ruiz where he took damage, the 2 knockdowns vs Zhang, the ko loss to Joyce. Age is also about the level of damage you have taken. Kabayel, in boxing years, is probably 2-3 years younger than Parker. Agreed on Parker having a way better resume. That isn't even close.
Kabayel might be better with time. He still needs to carve his teeth with more fighters before we can say anything definitively. Considering that Usyk is trying to rematch with Dubois again, I'd bet on him fighting the victor of Parker - Bakole en route to a title shot if Usyk doesn't waste the time he has left before his retirement. He looks like he'll turn out a bad match-up for Joe, but who knows, and I feel like the Bakole fight might be 50/50 for him, too.
Both are great with a great heart. Parker more experience and skils , kabayel more power and even more heart.
It's time to make usyk vs Agit If he fights dubois again? Then he is no different than any other prize fighter and only travelled away because he had to and is all about money F..k Dubois, this is THE fight to make
Kabayel seems to have a MUCH better engine than Parker. I'd match them relatively even across other measures, but Kabayel just seems to be able to keep swinging powerful shots round after round.
