Comments Thread For: Agit Kabayel bludgeons an exhausted Zhilei Zhang in six rounds

because he beat Chisora, and the two highly overrated HWs? This era's "3 kings" of HWs (Wilder,Joshua and Fury) are the most overrated in history. Don't get me wrong, Usyk is a great, but people are going overboard with his HW record because he beat 2 overrated HWs.

I agree completely,
Fury beat a relevant Kliitchko (39) & had the Wilder trilogy but that's it & both Aj & Wilder only beat shot old men & cans. Funny how Aj only wants to fight them now they are themselves old & shot.
I caught a glimpse of Usyk v Huck recently when Usyk was 31 & a completely different animal. Usyk has achieved what he has at heavyweight whilst clearly himself on the decline.
The rematchroom generation was garbage.

Say what you want about Zhang but his power is real - he is easily top 3 P4P most powerful puncher in the sport. Dropped Hrgovic, KO'd Joyce, dropped Parker twice, KO'd wilder and dropped Kabayal. That's some list and includes three fighters who had never touched the canvas up to that point.

His power is great, but his stamina seems to be worse and worse.

I think he should hang em up. he was out of his breath in the third round.

For me the fight of the night and the one outstanding performance was the Kabayel beat down and stoppage of Zhang. Simply unbelievable!! He stood in front of him going hammer and tongs with arguably the most dangerous puncher in the heavyweight division and he did it from round two, not in round seven like most observers expected him to do. Incredible courage, self belief, chin and stamina on full display.

Can't wait to see him against Usyk, Parker or Dubois because I don't know who can survive the full on body attack like that. I know Usyk would box him and try to keep him away with a 1,000 jabs in his face, but there is no discouraging Kabayel. He was willing to eat Zhang's flush punches to deliver his own so he is very difficult to discourage.

Yeah, pretty much what I hoped Kabayel would do - he did it.
He fully committed to the body attack from the very start and never let up.
It's rare to see, especially on such a big stage. Very impressive.

I would favor Kabayel against Usyk, both are agile HWs, and Kabayel's body work is impressive. Kabayel also showed he has a solid chin.

Usyk seems to want to retire. But there are actually good fights out there to make him GOAT.
He can fight Ajit, parker, ddd. That's 3, but I heard usyk say 2 more
