Comments Thread For: Quillin-Korobov Middleweight Title Fight Ordered By WBO

[Hougigo]

I think N'dam is better than Korobov. So Korobov would not be the best guy Peter has fought.

Yup, showyime guys had him up before te last two kds. Don't think I've ever seen somebody knock a guy down six times and still question the win

[Mikhnienko]

Quillen has trouble with anyone that has skills , Korobov should box him pick his shots outpoint him

Quillen is good at countering Korobov shouldn't give him the chances to land when that's not his game.

Korobov is better at it

Korobov doesn't pressure. He's a counter puncher. I think Peter outworks him. Maybe Peter gets caught and takes KD. But Quillin gets the decision.

Peter has a lower workrate

when is q fighting any1 of caliber???????he's the Arroyos @ MW, under the umbrella of the WBO..

Arroyos don't have belts and have less than 20 fights. Quillin is way past the prospect stage and he's still moving at a turtle's pace.

I think TR will win the purse bid, and I can't say I'm looking forward to it. It shouldn't be a bad fight, but both guys have yet to impress me.

I'm going to pray to God that Korobov sparks out Petey, highly unlikely though because Korobov was huffing and puffing after like 3 rounds last weekend.

So if quillin ends up fighting korobov on hbo it just proves him and his team

That doesn't make sense. Even if HBO accepts it, that would mean the fight was done with TR not GB. If it goes to purse bid there is no real negotiating with broadcaster about fees. That would mean HBO is just broadcasting it and didn't have to negotiate with Haymon at all, I.E the way they want it.

this is actually a good fight imo. Obviously a step up for quillin, but I think these two guys are on the same level.

It'll be interesting to see if this goes to purse bids and where the bout takes place.

[Weebler I]

It's gonna go to. Purse bid. Cold War isn't over

Hopefully it does, and not a dollar over the minimum bid of $200,000.

Lololololol true dat

korobov has turned out to be quite a disappointment. There was a reason why he's been fighting on non TV undercards for years now, and that is for whatever reasons he just hasn't progressed well as a pro.

Should be a win for Quillin.

Tough call ... IMO Korobov has the skills to beat Quillin, but... he still has some very bad habits like taking rounds off and most especially not knowing how (or when) to go in for the kill.

Similarly to Kid C, Mattvey is also yet to face real quality opposition and I can't be sure how he'll respond to a sustained fight against a (at least reasonable) quality opponent.

On a level playing field though I think Mattvey SDs or UDs Quillin in a relatively dull fight.

Meh. Quillin would probably win, but I hardly care.
