    Well, Im certainly not going to judge him this early in his career...Im sure he will improve has he transitions more to the pros.

    but for a guy who had that huge amount of amateur experience and was a two time world amateur champion...I kind of expected him to look a little sharper and seasoned right off the bat, ya know?

      His opponent had an extensive amateur background (with an excellent amateur record), so I knew it wouldn't be a quick first-round KO for Korobov. I liked the power he showed tonight.

        Ya, but transition does take time. I'll wait until his 12-15th fight to make some kind of judgment.

          It's hard to say much about a 4-0 guy. Although, the guy I'm most impressed with at 4-0 is Erislandy Lara who fought last night on FNF. That guy is as technically sound as any new pro out there. Korborov could be something to watch, but given that he'll be put in soft for the next 8-10 fights at least I'm gonna reserve judgement on him becoming middleweight champ just yet.
