Final Prediction

Agit Kabayel’s style is simple. He moves forward and uses his strength to control opponents. Zhang should stick to what worked last time. But he must avoid risky head positions. His speed and footwork give him an edge. Those are key advantages in the ring. Kabayel knows he can’t just take hits all fight. He needs to last all 12 rounds. If Zhang slows down late, that could be his chance to win.
