Comments Thread For: Zhilei Zhang vs Agit Kabayel: Who wins and why?

[BoxingUpdates]

There remains a sense with Zhilei Zhang, even at the age of 41, that we?re yet to find out how good ? or even average ? he really is. The same might be said for Saturday?s opponent, fellow heavyweight contender Agit Kabayel, who in his last two fights has at last started to put some meat on the bones of his unbeaten record

I also have Kabayel winning. He has a lot more to his game beyond Zhang's puncher chance.

Both HW fights on the Sheik Moneybags card are top flight. Can see both going either way.

I got Kabayel winning on points...

I agree with the write up from the start. If Zhang can't do it early, Kabayel can unload. You can improve stamina, but you cant fix it. Like dropping 20 pounds is a cure.

Yep. Very true. If Kabayel gets tagged early, Zhang could win in a KO of the year type style, or Zhang could get dominated. Parker could handle the DuBois early flood gates, tag him, and notch a wide UD. Or DuBois could come on like the force of nature he has been his last few fights and cement himself as the Next Man Up for Usyk with a dominating win.

These are interesting fights. All I know for sure is that whatever happens, posters in these comment sections will say they knew it would work out that way all along....

For the record: I got Kabayel winning in a 12 round decision in a fight that I think will be fairly lackluster, and Parker getting the mild upset with a close decision that will NOT be lackluster at all. And I am prepped, ready, and able to be completely wrong on both.

Did I miss the WBC stripping Usyk of their belt?

Agit Kabayel is dangerous with body shots and have the ability to move and stay out of harms way as well. I still think this fight comes down to what weight Zhilei Zhang comes into the fight at, if he's 275 or under it's a pick'em type fight but if he comes in heavy he will not only loose but possibly by stoppage as well. Agit should. win due to youth and talent I have witnessed plus he's on the upswing

Kabayel doesn't have the greatest defense and doesn't have the greatest chin in the world. Not saying he's chinny, but he's vulnerable. Will he be able to withstand Zhang's power in the early rounds? If Zhang comes fully prepared, this may not go into the later rounds.

I don’t foresee a knockout but expect Kabayel to win on points due to his superior work rate and constant pressure whereas Zhang is much older and lazier.
