    Illegal Punch by Kabayel?

    That final shot that ended Zhang seems illegal. Was a kidney shot placed almost on the back. Thoughts?

    Zhang knew ajit can only win fights by body assaults. Zhang had no answer. I'm disappointed he has weakness in armour

      Agreed. Very strong performance by Kabayel. Zhang thought he could bomb him out early but Kabayel was prepared.

        I was about to jump on you but then kept reading
        I was watching the Sky ppv version and they kept insinuating that Agit hit Zhang with a punch behind the head
        That was total bullchit although Zhang kept lowering his head
        Give the man his props he eliminated another fabricated monster lol

          The behind the head shots did not happen. That's just sky commentary bias. Agit clubbed him fair and square to the head. The body work by Agit, however, was excellent. He dismantled Frank Sanchez in the same way. And Zhang was a real monster, Agit is just that brave and that good. But I do think he got away with those fight ending kidney shots that could be considered illegal... it was a close call. Just wanted to hear other opinions.

            Zhang is no joke. I just wish he'd started earlier and had some Beterbiev-like dedication when it comes to his fitness. Imagine if he'd actually gotten into shape. Kabayel deserves full credit for going toe to toe with him and beating the fight out of him. Zhang still beats most heavyweights IMO, because he's powerful and has deceptively good defense of his head. His body is wide open and when your gas tank is that bad and you're that big, that's just going to be a ***** in the armor. Wouldn't be surprised if Kabayel could do the same to Bakole. He'll be a champ for sure after Usyk retires.
