it would be more encouraging seeing Zhang do some road work and cardio, we all know he's got skills and power but his lack of stamina is his huge weakness.

While there is no denying Zhang's power, size and technique, his stamina and age are about to be exposed. I've been very impressed with the smarts and technique of Kabayel, who at his best is an extremely measured, calculating tiger.
Zhang will definitely land on Kabayel with something heavy, because he always does. The question is how good is Agit's chin? Can he take the heat in the first six rounds or not? If he can take the heavy shots upstairs, Zhang is going to be in trouble from Kabayel's heavy shots downstairs.
If Kabayel's corner called me and asked me to come up with a fight plan (and they never, ever do, go figure), I would tell them to use Agit's handspeed to pepper Zhang's body from the opening bell. Forget the head. All bodywork, quick jabs, hooks, combinations to the body, and keep moving. Lots of chipping away with the occasional heavy blow. Pull that plug and drain the tub as fast as possible, and make Zhang walk him down non-stop. Maybe by round 5 or 6 Zhang's chin will be exposed and we can find out what kind of beard he has.
If Zhang's consensus perceived weakness is his gas tank, apply maximum pressure on the body and make him do roadwork around the ring.
