Babic v Kennedy

[jameswilson]

Do most people agree with me that Babic is a loss waiting to happen? Given he’s winning fights early by KO and on the face of it will have a decent boxrec ranking off the back of beating Winters I think the bookies will over inflate how much of a favourite he actually is.

Any footage on Kennedy? He ticks one of the boxes I think will be important to beating Babic which is a stone or more heavier than him and taller. Will that be enough? Babic just windmills aimlessly and will surely blow out if he is extended.

Thoughts? I think he’s gonna make some of us on here some money.

Totally agree. I know zero about Kennedy but i would also be interested to see the odds. Babic should not be fighting at heavyweight.

Most of Kennedy's bouts have been in the States under Murphys Boxing. A few of the shows he was on were streamed on Facebook Live, so could likely still be found on the promoter's page.

Looking at his Instagram Kennedy has been sparring for a few weeks and has been in the gym previous to that so has more than the last opponent who was announced 10 days before the fight (up for debate how long he’d been working out previous to that.)

Odds have come out as well

Babic 1.28
Kennedy 3.5

No method of victory or round odds yet.

I've seen Kennedy a few times before and he was not good. Getting smashed Vargas ain't a good look either

that said I agree on Babic's vulnerability, his ceiling isnt that high at hw, he prob could make lhw if he tried and his crude swinging style aint a good one for dealing with bigger guys

Cabbage would be a better nickname for our boi Alen btw

When the odds oppened on sportsbet.com kenny was paying 8.5. if i had of seen it at that i would of lumped on. by the time i saw it it was more like 5.0 and i didnt think that was a ton of value cause i dont know kenny. crazy to see something open at 8.50 and come into 3;50. Whoever set those odds must be in trouble with the bossman.

Dave Price vs Alen Babic sometime?

Dave Price vs Alen Babic sometime?

Can babic even reach prices chin? Might need a ladder. Fun fight though.

I’d like to see babic (assuming he wins) fight tom little, then Allen, then price. That said I’m not convinced he beats them. I’d have him slight favourite vs little and decent underdog vs Allen and price. If he beats all then then you can talk chis or hrgovic.

If I were team babic I’d try keep the foot down. And build the hype, just look at what’s happened to that khazma dude in ufc, went from never heard of to a massive draw with 700k insta followers In 2 months/ 3 fights... momentum is a hell of a thing. Then if babic loses fight cruiser or light heavy.
