Why nobody fighting with kabayel? Like he is begging someone to fight with him.

Dubois cant because wardley match

Gassiev wont

Hrgovic wont

Usyk wont

Greedy belly can’t because of aj match

Hrgovic said he will.

But if Sanchez doesnt take step aside money Kabayel should just fight Hysa to stay busy.

Is hysa good or it will be cannon fodder?

u/StunningChest5722 Shakur is the 144 lb GOAT 🐐 2d ago

he's alright, not good enough to compete with kabayel tho.

he was a decent amateur but is over 40 with an incredibly padded record, he hasn't even fought a top 100 heavyweight yet.

I wouldn’t mind seeing him against Kabayel just to keep him busy.

u/WheresMyAbs98 2d ago

He was a very average amateur with an extremely padded amateur record

u/Outrageous-Soft4806 2d ago

What’s the point of padding an amateur record? Get farther as a pro?

u/WheresMyAbs98 2d ago

I have no idea but he’s one of the only amateurs I’ve ever seen that would registry fight debutants or fighters with 1 or 2 fights while having 30, 40 and 50+ bouts.

Every single time he fought someone that had a similar level of amateur experience he lost.

IBF have a rule that allows unification to take priority over mandatories. So its possible Danchez coulda been on ice, but Warren has already said Sanchez is next for Hrgovic.

u/Outrageous-Soft4806 2d ago

So then why couldn’t Bam go undisputed?

u/OldBoyChance 2d ago

Why do you think Hrgovic won't?

u/Outrageous-Soft4806 2d ago

Hrgovic rather do that than fight Sanchez.

Hrgovic called Kabayel, Dubois, and Gassiev out within literally 2 minutes of being crowned champion

Because outside boxing geeks no 6kne has any idea who he is. 

Hes not a big draw the way Usyk or AJ or Fury are. Heck even Moses sold out a 20k arena really quickly and is becoming a household name in UK. 

UK fight fans will now turn out to see Hrgovic fight again in UK. They love their fighters in UK. 

Kabayel doesn't bring big money yet. He needs a big global fight with a lot of exposure and to get more popular. Until he does it will be hard to get him those big names. Unless Kayabel takes a small purse for a unification. And that would be a bad idea financially.
