Is Arum finally going to start utilizing Korobov?

[Hougigo]

Korobov is finally active after a dismal 2012. He's going to be on the Rigo/Agbeko card in AC, but it's against TBA so far.
Could Arum finally be setting this guy up for some big fights? He's sharing the card with macklin/Willie Nelson... so there's a possibility

rumor was he was going to get a crack at ggg in december,, maybe he will get a tune-up in december and then fight ggg on feb. 1st in morroco,,,

Yea, Arum said if Korobov did well against Brewer he'd try and make it. I think Arum will try and put a little wind under his sail first though...maybe try for Macklin/Nelson winner.

IMO, after Hatton's comments... seems like Murray is in feb

i hope its murray-ggg,,,, that is a damn good fight right there,,,,,,

your right about korobov,, he needs alittle more exposure before getting a huge fight,, i think he needs to fight one or 2 cherrypicks, then a rubio or someone like that,,, but keep him busy and active,,, he needs to fight in dec, feb, may,, then land a big fight in the fall

He finally got 4 fights in, that's good.
Wouldn't be surprised to see him against Macklin/Nelson

[Sugar Adam Ali]

yeah macklin/nelson would be good,,,

i just feel that korobov is the new vanes matrisyion,, he will stay active and have over 30 wins but havent landed a big fight,,, i swear vanes has been a top contender for about 5 years now lol

Lara fight was a good step, but he dropped way off after that. The way arum has been handling him is pretty bad.

yeah, the lara fight was his big break and that was one of the worst fights i have ever seen for 2 guys with something to prove,,, total snoozefest,, thank god there was no rematch........

well hopefully korobov has a sense of urgency seeing as he's 30

man, the first time i saw Korobov fight in Vegas, i thought he would be popular within a year...this was 2010 when he took apart Lamar Harris...never heard from him since
