Agit Kabayel vs. Kevin Johnson - June 5, 2021

[DrDuke]

Kabayel won (obviously) via unanimous decision.

118-111 | 118-111 | 119-110

I didn't watch the fight because of a fear to be super-excited and thrilled, and have a heart-attack, but it must be a sorta robbery. No one had ever done such stuff to the great Kevin Johnson.

But…how much did Johnson get for the logo on his trunks?

Not for a good many years, that's for sure. It begs the question "Why now?". Perhaps he identified Kabayel as a beatable opponent given sufficient effort and preparation.

I was surprised by the noise generated by the German fans. I'm assuming German rather than Kurdish. I mean given that the bloke appears so lacking in ambition that he hasn't (as far as I know) even offered a challenge to fight Wallisch or Schwarz, and has ducked the opportunity to meet Hrgovic in an IBF Title eliminator, I imagine if he were British he'd be ignored or regarded with disdain by British fans.

johnson actually gave it a bit of a go there, when he wants to be he's a real good test, albeit agit should be well past that now

[candyslim]

I'd be interested to see if he could repeat his win over Chisora. I'm not convinced he would.

Massive brawl after the fight, Kabayel fans attacked the security guards, kicked one in the head when he bent over to pick up something on the ground. Bad scene.

are the turks more of brawlers than the germans

I spent a couple years out in Germany, I found the Germans to be pretty laid back for the most part, the Turks on the other hand......

There was a minor scuffle one night between a squaddie and a Turk in a club, both were thrown out of separate doors before much could come of it. Within an hour dozens of Turks descended on one of the breakfast bars frequented by the Brits at the end of the night. It was absolute carnage.
Similar scenes were repeated over the next few weeks all over town.

It did eventually calm down, but only after several arrests and hospitalizations on both sides.

Yes, against Solomon Haumono, in his most entertaining fight.

Something tells me, it was more exciting than the fight itself.
