    Not seen much mention of Kabayel

    Very solid HW with another upset and impressive win even if Sanchez was/is injured, his own ****** fault.

    I think Kabayel is very underrated, extremely effective style.
    A lot of pressure, solid defence he might get hit but rarely takes anything flush, impressive shot selection for a HW, mixes his shots up really well. A little bit no thrills but workman like.

    I'd like to see Kabayel vs Parker, winner gets a title shot.

    Yeah, I used to dog him for not doing anything since beating Chisora like...10 years ago, but he's proven me wrong. Also added a new wrinkle to his game, as he used to be a mover who'd throw 1-2's

      Don't see too many heavyweights go to the body consistently like he does. Wore down Mak and Sanchez precisely because of that.

        True. Nothing special. He just fought an overrated guy. Don't even know why some think he had a game plan to go for the body. He was going after the head and hitting the body when it's open. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just because Sanchez got KO'd by body shots doesn't mean it's the plan. He was asked about it and said, "I don't know." Meaning, the situations presented themselves just like in any other fight.

          I don't think Sanchez has looked good at all in his last several fights, especially not this one, so I don't really rate Kabayel either.

            Agit is one of the biggest winners of this Riyadh sh^t. If not for Turki Agit is probably living in the same obscurity hes been living in. Now hes had two big upsets of undefeated guys & if he wins another fight or two hes probably a lock to get himself a belt fight in 2025.

            Agit is the best dog story at HW right now & I look forward to see how far he can take it.

              Not sold on him yet.

              Makhmudov will probably become another Kudryashov, Sanchez was fighting one-legged.

                I'd like to see Kabayel/Parker as well. I think their styles would mesh well, and they have similar physical dimensions. They are also two of the more athletic HWs. I could see a back-and-forth fight where adjustments will be necessary.

                  I forgot how he beat the big Russian, and thought this was a different gameplan against Sanchez. Sanchez wasn't showing it, but you could guess they were adding up, until total failure.

                  I didn't even know who Kabayel was before the previous fight. If he's been around for 10, he's been wasting time. Just turned on and stopped two guys that nobody was fighting.

                    I think he is legit. I want him for Hrgovic - Dubois winner.
