How well both fighters performed in their last fight

Agit Kabayel’s last boxing bout was against Zhilei Zhang. The fight lasted six rounds, and both fighters were stable, and their momentum was fast. Agit Kabayel started his attack with several body shots. This made Zhilei Zhang slow down, and his performance lacked a lot.

One left-hand shot that ended up landing on Zhilei Zhang’s liver, and he got on his knees and counted out by the referee. This bout earned him the vacant WBC interim heavyweight title.

On the other hand, Damian Knyba had his last boxing bout against Joey Dawejko. Damian Knyba used his height advantage to land shots.

Predictions

This Heavyweight fight is going to change the entire heavyweight division history. This fight has a lot of things in contrast; both fighters don’t know what it’s like to lose. Also, both of them have a huge professional experience gap. Agit Kabayel and his record are perfect, and his durability and discipline are always at their peak. His height gives him the perfect advantage of taking a controlled distance with a footwork that no other boxers have. Also, he doesn’t take things fast; he breaks his opponent with steady pressure and body shots that eventually slow his opponent down. His method of controlling the ring gives him the upper hand in controlling the fight every single time.

The only huge difference between him and Damian Knyba is the experience. If the fight goes more than six rounds, Agit Kabayel will stand still, and he will not slow down. Also, Damian Knyba and his size and reach help him to keep his range, according to him. He will always look to give and throw a heavy shot that ends the fight. But against Agit Kabayel, that is unlikely to happen. Agit Kabayel and his fighting IQ are far higher than Damian Knyba’s. Agit Kabayel will control the fight for sure, and his experience and his ring IQ will give him the favour to winning this fight.

The Pick: Agit Kabayel via KO/TKO
