In a highly-anticipated match on the “Ring of Fire” card in Riyadh, Agit Kabayel showcased his dominance over Frank Sanchez. From the very beginning, Kabayel took control of the fight, not giving Sanchez any chance to retaliate. Despite both fighters being 31 years old and weighing in at 238.5 pounds, Kabayel’s superior skills were evident throughout the entire match.
It must be acknowledged that, while Kabayel’s victory was impressive, Sanchez had a notable disadvantage – he was wearing a knee brace on his right leg. This hindered Sanchez’s movement and overall performance, making him an easy target for Kabayel’s relentless attacks. Despite attempting to counter from the ropes, Sanchez was outworked and outmatched by Kabayel’s aggressive approach.
A Display of Power
Throughout the fight, Kabayel’s right hand repeatedly found its mark on Sanchez’s head, visibly frustrating the Cuban fighter. Kabayel’s consistent pressure and body shots wore Sanchez down round after round, showcasing his power and stamina. It was evident that Kabayel was in control of the fight and was enjoying himself in the ring.
The seventh round saw Kabayel deliver the final blow to Sanchez, who was already weakened by the relentless assault to his midsection. A well-placed left to Sanchez’s solar plexus sent him to the canvas in agony, securing Kabayel the biggest win of his career. The referee stopped the fight at 2:33 of the round, declaring Kabayel the victor by stoppage.
Concerns for Sanchez
After the fight, Sanchez required oxygen in his corner, indicating the severity of the damage inflicted by Kabayel. If Sanchez was indeed carrying an injury into the fight, questions must be raised about his team’s decision to allow him to compete. It is clear that Sanchez faces a challenging road ahead in his recovery and return to the ring.
Agit Kabayel’s commanding victory over Frank Sanchez on the “Ring of Fire” card in Riyadh solidified his status as a force to be reckoned with in the heavyweight division. Sanchez’s injury aside, Kabayel’s performance was exceptional, showcasing his skill, power, and determination in the ring.
