Kabs 3 good wins that have catapulted him to one of the top guys have been people with terrible feet and terrible movement.

Fat 1 leg Sanchez (a plodder)
Big bad mak (a plodder)
Zhang (a plodder)

He deserves to be in the conversation with the other top contenders. But he has done aproximatly zero to convince me he would have any success vs Usyk (he might but those 3 are so so so different to usyk they don’t convert much to that match up)…

(To be clear they are good plodders, it’s just so unlike usyk that I could never read into it as much as some people)

I kinda wanna see milas fight again, I rated him as a prospect many years ago.
Do you know the reason he was out for so long? It's a half decent fight on paper
Mila's & Hrgovic are both 19-1 (15 kos & 14kos). If Croatia is like any other country in Europe there will be a rivalry between the two cities they're from (Split & Zagreb). That would be a great fight to make.

Obviously they'll make more money fighting elsewhere but it's a shame we don't see more local rivalries like this. Croatians are passionate sports fans.

He had hints of one at the weigh in with Kabayel.

Bit of a stretch to call him fat.

I agree, but pretty soon the heavyweight division will be blown wide open, and unlike the last few times that has happened, there’s a good group of young talented boxers to take over and fight each other.

Agit, Itauma and Jalolov et al. might have to tread water for bit in terms of matchmaking, but I imagine they’ll all win a title or two eventually.

That’s without counting Fabio, who’s technically a world champ.

Was Shala once a lot heavier than this? He has that sort of look about him.

Adam Smith weirdly talking about Tony Yoka like he’s relatively recently turned pro, when it was nearly a decade ago.

I like Milaš, cool style and skills. He’s everything his compatriot Hrgovič isn’t.

There’s so few heavies who know how to attack a southpaw body these days. It’s a lost art in general but the only good heavyweight body works I’ve seen in years, at the top level, was Fury against Usyk.

I don’t usually quote myself but my instinct was bang on there. According to AI Shala was 220lbs at 9 years old. That sounds nothing short of bizarre.

Not sure why but hearing Shala's name all I can think of is that guy in Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights shouting 'SHABAAAAA!'

I don’t know a single person who likes him. We’ve got Carl, Barry and Darren RIGHT THERE. I just don’t understand why he’s still there, surely someone has had a word?

I’m not scoring it but Shala is just keeping him off, for me. Not winning.

That look at the ref, followed by the “fornicate it, another 1-2” was ice cold.

I’m officially a massive Mílaš fan and will watch him every fight going forward. A lot to like.

Ref was trying to kill him. What’s the bet the cards are horrid and had Shala winning and ref was trying to help him hang on. Thats the worst count iv seen given ever Mabey. I don’t think he should of continued after the knockdown…

I had money on Milas stoppage. So I wanted it waved early… but at the end that was sickening. Milas tried to stop it himself.

Hope shala is ok both for his sake and Milas sake. He didn’t wanna throw that last punch.
