Comments Thread For: Agit Kabayel hungry for Usyk bout after three-round stoppage of Damian Knyba

[richardt]

He is clearly one of the best heavyweight body punchers in many, many years but today's fight showed some kinks in his armour with defence, suceptability to uppercuts, and jabs. It could have been worse if his opponent had learned how to pace himself instead of just throwing to throw punches rather than pinpointing his shots. Like to see Knyba come back and fight some other guys cause he looks like he could beat some top 20 heavyweights with his jab and decent power. He just needs to temper his volume more deliberately.

It wouldn't be a shock to me if Kabayel were to stop Usyk with body shots. If he doesn't beat him he gives him hell for 12 rounds. I think that Usyk won't want the fight. Okolie should be careful what he asks for. Kabayel is a bad dude.

Are you joking.

Kabayel walks into punches and he will not see Usyks punches coming.

A precision Ko for usyk inside 4 rounds, it's a VERY easy fight for usyk

Damn near all fights in Europe are lit. Would be a good move on Usyks part if he did go there

I didn't think Usyk would fight Kabayel not because he is scared but because he is not a big name, but looks like if the fight is in Germany they can pull a big crowd there must be a lot of Kurds there

This was the most undisciplined I've seen Kabayel. I suspect he had very little regard for this opponent and decided to just seek and destroy for his home crowd. Not a smart way to approach it - as evidenced by the cut on his eye - but that's what it looked like to me.

As for Usyk, I don't think it's a "very" easy fight for Usyk, but I don't see Kabayel beating him either.

with usyk having gone through the past top opponents at heavy he probably doesnt have the motivation or need to fight this new lot & probably for quite a lot less cash as well, some will hold that against him when he retires saying he left good fights on the table & some wont and just say thats how boxing works and most guys do it that way

id say usyk would like wilder & then either fury or AJ again to finish off, he would probably like fury to take wardleys belt to make that happen, i dont see much interest in another fury fight whatever happens

Some tards in this forum who really believe that Usyk is “afraid” of Kabayel and Wardley. Buncha clowns

Knyba impressed me if I'm being honest. He needs to be a more of a stick n jab fighter who uses his length and reach. He did a good job at landing those jabs and Kabayel was walking into his uppercuts. I thought the stoppage was too early and Knyba did enough for a rematch or fight someone else in the top 30 on a big show.

Kabayel gave so many opportunities in this fight it felt like he was channelling Joyce. Probably pressure to perform in front of a home crowd but Usyk would’ve taken advantage of all of that, and placed those punches better. If Usyk still has the engine, and Kabayel turns up like this then he’ll get stopped. Still not an easy fight at all for Usyk.

I love how Kabayel puts his punches together. Intelligent punch selection and combinations.

But you don't get to walk forward against Usyk like that.

I think Usyk wipes him out early.
