About to end 2017 and i have the same question of this post back in 2012.
He was still on queer street from that Andy Lee right hook and walked into oncoming traffic
Cameron Dunkin is on facebook.
I sent him a message about 2 months back if Korobov was still fighting.
Some other forums people were saying also that Korobov had some illness and that he probably wouldn't fight again.
I asked Dunkin if that was true.
Dunkin responded saying that he didn't have any illness - just rumors floating around.
Said that Korobov would fight again in about 2 months. But that was back in May.
If Korobov is going to fight again soon expect another Michael Walker type opponent.
Korobov progressed too slow as a professional, regularly fought easy opponents (at least for his supposed level of skill) and rarely looked amazing in the process.
Stopped training with Mike McCallum a couple of years back.
Really no reason, until he can prove otherwise, to assume Korobov isn't some overhype bust.
I remember larry merchant hyping this guy on an undercard a few years ago, doesn't really impress me. There's better younger prospects around. I think these guys should be trying to fight at least 5 times a year.. Too many "gems" sit on the shelf waiting for the right card to bill on just get some fights under your belt.
he started to look much more ordinary when he began to step up
i cant remember the opponent, but the last time i saw him fight he did not impress.
he's also almost 30 years old..
there's not a ton of earning potential in a 30 year old prospect.
