    Itauma vs Kabayel has to happen

    Instead of begging for Usyk, why don’t these 2 guys just fight each other?

    Kabayel stopped a hard-hitting southpaw in Zhang. It would be a real test for Itauma to have a guy who actually comes to win.

    Hrgovic would be a waste of time, he’s been beat several times already. If Itauma stops him faster so what.

    A Kabayel fight would actually mean something.

    I doubt it will happen because I think Frank wants to move him very cautiously. He probably needs a couple more guys on the B level before he starts fighting A tier heavyweights. If I was Frank then I would give him Nelson Hysa then Guido Vianello or Jalolov. Once he's about 23 and is 16-0 then he starts to take on the big boys. He's really young so there is no reason to rush him into anything.

        If he wants rounds he needs to face to p tier.

          Would love to see that but would Kabayel take it being in line for the WBC? Possibly.

          I'd love to see that one.

            I am going to make a very bold and controversial claim; Itauma knocks him spark out inside 3-4 rounds.

            Kabayel is the product of a truly terrible division. Itauma is frankly what an actual really good HW is and should look like.
            I don't care about resumes or experience. 3-4 rounds, probably 1 even with his face blocking style.

            By all means make it happen keep Itauma busy and developing, tightening things up and getting experience but none of these slobs have anything for him.
            And its not that I think Franklin is any good either he's average at best, zero power, a slob with no offensive ability. The fact he's half decent by this eras standard should tell anyone all they need to know. He's a glorified sparring partner.

            Kabayel will be billed as a threat and we'll hear experience, resumes, etc but he wouldn't even give Itauma rounds. He's simply not very good at all he's just being flattered because the division is dead. Even then he's not beaten Usyk, Fury or even a AJ or Dubois. Its just been a case of solid, fair sized HW beating these oversized galoots who are just big but sheer rubbish and its tricked people into thinking he's really good.
            Put him in with Itauma he'll get shown up for what he is.

              Efe the Agile African first then Kabayel

              Efe will use footwork and movement so Biblical Moses can get in much needed rounds

                Itauma might finish ajit fast too. As a jit takes too many. You need to to be hard to hit when called upon. Ajit a bit too predictable with his body assaults

                  Kabayel by a KO.

                  Itauma is overrated kid under warren protection program.

                  they will keep on talking he is he best but he will keep on fighting Franklin level guys.

                  If Itauma thinks he can win, sign the fight.

                    Thank you, so he is just a kid and we can stop pretending he beats everybody.
