    Could be

    But even as a big fan of his I will criticise him and say his skills are woeful

    He seems unteachable

    His sparring seems poor

    He needs to change ALOT to get back into the Top 10

    Maybe him vs Whyte? Joyce? Zhang?

    He knows the Saudi money and exposure might be ending.

    He should be calling on a rematch.

    He never ever was in top 10. And Zhang fight will be dangerous for Mak's health - it would look like Dorticos vs Kudryashov

    If he came out after and said someone removed his kneecaps before the fight and that’s why he couldn’t bend his Frankenstein-walking legs, I’d believe him.

    Bullsh1t excuse. A lot of fighters won their bouts with broken/fractured hands. Mayweather, for example. Or Wilder vs Arreola. Deontay's right hand looked really f*cked from some point of that fight unlike Makhmudov's one.

    More like a bag of Doritos vs. Jerell Miller.

    All props to Kabayel. He chopped Mahmudov down, very skillfully. He deserves better fights and better rankings.

    It would have been better if Makhmoudov had kept his mouth shut. He entered the ring fully healthy. It's a HW fight, obviously you get hurt. Why would you take away credit from your opponent? Why wouldn't your corner stop it between the second and third?
    What a bum...

    When did Mayweather ever break his hand LOL He claimed he had torn rotator cuff against Castillo in fight 1 , which he really lost. but never needed surgery unlike Pac had to have after Mayweather sabotaged him. I guess the caressing & consoling Ellerbe was giving him cured it huh LOL

    He had broken ribs as well to go with his broken arm.

    This.

    Kabayel has been in out in the promotional wilderness for years and hasn't landed good money fights. If TopRank is willing to put up the money for it - there's no doubt in my mind that Kabayel would be game.
