      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.

        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.

              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.

                Seen him fight a few times live. The last time was on the Pavlik Martinez undercard where he almost lost to some guy I never heard of.
