      Like any European prospects?

      I'm not saying you all nut-hug American prospects, just wondered if you follow young fighters from Europe.
      Due to major television stations such as HBO and Showtime rarely airing young European fighters, it is often hard to keep up or gain access to hot prospects that may deserve the attention and provide fans with great fights that they would love to watch.

        I'm a big fan of Korobov.

        I can see him going far, a lot further than Jacobs.

        When was the last time Russia had a World class boxer? Because it feels about time they get one.

          Could you see Bunce's stream in America?

            Jacobs has skills, I think he can challenge for a world title in about a year, he's steadily ramping up the competition now, Manfredo will be a good test for him.

              well, I do my best to try and follow European prospects, but it gets pretty hard to follow them when I cant even see them fight on television. Theres the internet, but still. I dont have unlimited leisure time to go out of my way to look these guys up, and if theyre fighting nobodies in the first place, why bother?

              and also, its a little harder to connect to someone that doesnt speak your language, doesnt live in your country, etc...
              not to mention some of the European prospects have impossible names to spell out, unless you really make the effort to remember them.

              so...while Ill gladly follow European prospects if I get the chance, its only natural to not be that interested in a lot of them.
              (until they start proving themselves)

                Just watching that Korobov fight again, he's very fast.

                Not as fast as Khan, Pac etc.

                But he's very fast for a middleweight, accurate puncher.

                He's definitely going to have a better career than Jacobs.

                  That's a fair point.

                    Korobov didn't look as good on the undercard of Cotto-Clottey when he was forced to go the distance. Right now Jacobs has faced better competition, Jacobs was looking as good as Korobov fighting the guys Korobov has been fighting.

                      I probably could have but did not know much about him until joining this site. I thought that he was just a guy that commentated on fights after the fact and did interviews.
