I think we can all agree that Matt has been a bit of a disappointment so far. One of the two has happened: 1) Top Rank has dropped the ball with him, or 2) Matt has not stepped up his game as the years have gone by! I tend to think it's the latter.

This will be his third fight this yr, good. Dude lost so much momentum, its almost like he doesnt exist anymore.

I guess he's got that nose problem and the trainer thing finally worked out.

Poorly managed career and some bad luck so far, lets see if he can reverse all this.

Health problems and bad management are two definite factors.

Korobov looks like an entertaining fighter at times.

A Cuban vs a Russian! Should be a good one.
