It’s ok lads we’ve got some sh1t fights coming up now.
Oh no wait we’ve got Vergil Ortiz bs Madrimov.
I’m picking Madrimov to pull the supposed upset here.

That was very poor from Zhang. He was knackered after 4 rounds.
Gutsy from Kab. To be in range all the time.
Zhang is a very poor fighter. But his chinnisbtough enough and hits hard enough to also be a very good one….
Let’s not forget Jerry Forrest nearly killed Zhang in the ring via gasssing worse than anything I have ever witnessed.
He always looks horrific until he lands. Just a fatter wilder… and very old.
(Still great from kab).

Could this have really been the Kabayel era all along?
Who beats him?
Uysk for sure, maybe DDD, and Parker would be a pickem.
Certainly don't see AJ fancying it

Zhang is 42 next month isn't he ?
Bit harsh - he gave his all - he's just too big and old to do anything more and he still got his KD.

In terms of form it's dub and kabs all the way.
A big ko from bakole would make things very spicy.

I'd love to see the stats - he took so many punches in those few rounds. Almost Joyce levels of hittability

I think your right. AJ has to be very carefully managed from this point onwards.

I got it 3-0 Madrimov so far
Good win for Callum Smith to open the card. I had it 116-112 for Smith.
Great win for Kabayel breaking down Zhang to the body, and stopping him in 6.

Missed the beginning of this but Macklin doesn’t think Madrimov has won anything so far.

Madrimov is moving a lot but isn’t nearly elusive enough with it.

Disappointing from Madrimov so far, Ortiz looking in the zone

Madrimov hit nothing but gloves in that last round. This isn’t going to be enough.

Better round from Madrimov but Ortiz looks comfortable regardless.
Can’t see the upset in this one.

I'd have Dubois quitting, Parker out worked and I'm not sure usyk beats him!

4 rounds to 4
76-76 after 8 between Ortiz and Madrimov

The Uzbek throwing the Bret Lee overland at the end there.
Bit of a tough fight to watch, but sometimes tenseness and strategy is as interesting as raw action.
Lo my way to the cards but this is hard to score… not much in the way of really meaningful shots. But very different game plans.
