Zhang vs Bakole, Zhang vs Dubois, Zhang vs Wardley, even Zhang vs Itauma.
    I was all on board with him until the Parker fight. That was such a stinker and I, although I often change my mind, swore I would never watch him fight again. I am giving him another chance and agree with you.

        This is the same Zhang who could barely beat Jerry Forrest. Zhang beating the shot Wilder and beating slow Joe Joyce doesn't make Zhang a world class fighter.

          Either of these guys = A big problem for anybody.

          Zhang's well documented stamina limitations are almost irrelevant, given that you can count the number of people people on earth who can survive the 1st half of the fight with him, on the fingers of one hand.

          But he'd better be ready for the best body punching the division has seen in a long time!

          Great fight.

                I'm hoping for a Zhang win.

                That heavyweight title fight in China is seeming less likely as Zhang doesn't have long left at all before he is just too old.

                But if he beats Kabayel here, maybe there's a chance it happens and that would be big for boxing if it could inspire a new generation of Chinese boxers. I need an excuse to visit china and a Zhang fight would get me over there.

                Nothing against Kabayel but a Zhang win is better for boxing.

                    Good quality match up with an unpredictable outcome. Either guy can with with a KO. The winner can be matched in mouth watering fights against Bakole, Dubois, Parker, Wardley, Itauma ... What more could you ask for?

                      I got Kabayel by UD. For both fighters, some of their best wins and performances haven't aged the best (Makhmudov, Joyce, Hrgovic,).

                      We know what Zhang is and isn't. I look forward to learning more about Kabayel's ceiling.

                      As for the fight, I see Agit boxing well enough to avoid the power of Zhang while investing in the body. When Zhang inevitably fades, Kabayel will take over the second half en route to w clear decision or even possibly a late TKO.
