Agit Kabayel vs. Damian Knyba: Prediction
My prediction is a TKO/KO victory for Kabayel against Knyba, since he’s the more experienced fighter on big cards and is a vicious body puncher who folds taller opponents. Additionally, he’s coming off the biggest victory of his career against Zhang in February.
Usually, heavyweights are headhunters, but Kabayel and Knyba are notorious body punchers. But the defending champion has more combinations in his arsenal that will help him score a stoppage win over the Polish challenger.
Both also possess fantastic speed for a heavyweight, as they don’t put on much weight on fight night, which allows them to stay a step ahead of their opponents and maintain more stamina. But the variety of Kabayel’s combinations will be the key in this championship battle.
