    For Kabayel to smoke anyone, he actually needs to fight. He didn’t fight anyone proper for more than 18 months, and let’s remember he entered the Zhang fight as odds favorite due to Zhangs age and visible decline in the wilder fight.
    I hope I am wrong but I don’t see Kabayel accepting a dangerous fight light Hrgo, Itauma, Dubois or Rico if it doesn’t come with a massive payday. So likely we will see him against the next tomato can (Hysa?) or a money fight against fury or Joshua. Especially the fury fight would be interesting, I would expect fury to win 12 rounds here staying in distance

    Exactly, that fight wasn't a particularly fast paced fight either.

    For all of AJ's flaws, he has the power to trouble Kabayel.
