Kabayel has yet to prove himself. He got dropped by Zhang, a 41-year-old, out-of-shape, over-the-hill boxer. It would be a long shot for him to beat Usyk.
The usual suspects are reaching new levels here. Usyk has never ducked anyone and has beaten very dangerous men in their backyards. Usyk has the right to fight whoever he wants and if he wants to retire he has earned that right as well.
Then he will obviously face him . Kabayel is the no1 wbc challenger for usyk and kabayel called usyk out he is willing and ready . If it does not happen ( and it will not ! ) usyk indeed avoided kabayels special liver treatment . If yes and usyk destroys kabayel , deepest respect for usyk simply schooling agit like a kid . Time will tell
Kabayel is a good boxer but still unproven. He has never fought against an elite boxer Elite wins: Usyk = 9 (combined) Kabayel = 0 So whom are you trolling If Kabayel has his brst day, the fight against Usyk gonna could be like Beterbiev vs. Bivol, just less competitive Usyk by UD
Look I was just saying my opinion which doesn't matter one bit of course. I suppose his objective is the be 2x undisputed - that will explain certain choices. I suppose at different points in your career, your motivations change, and I don't begrudge him his choices at all at this stage of his career. My or your expectations mean very little if any in the grand scheme of things.
I'm not big on Kabayel for the following reasons. He has average, size, speed, and power. Its very difficult to be a top HW with those considerations. He has no X factor at all. He is just tough with good skills.
lol, you are going to project motivations for him at this stage of his career? if I were him, I'd fight Dubois, get the ibf and say goodnight and retire with my faculties intact and become a just a fan I'm sure you will do different and that is fine too. At the end of the day, only him gets to live with the consequences of the choices he makes.
No shame in getting dropped by Zhang. It's physics isn't it? In a boxing match with such an aggressive style, he is going to get hit.
He has the all round package. No X Factor apart from being the most prolific body puncher in the division. Usyk has a glass body. He’s food for Kabayel.
He is a good package but just a solid package. Those body punches were easy against a huge lump that just stands infront of him like Zhang, which is very different to someone as mobile and smart as Usyk. I think he will struggle to land them on usyk.
Usyk is comfortable beating the 'big clunky guys' yet you're getting excited because Kabayel just beat a big clunky guy lol. To think that Usyk would duck Kabayel is insane.
