Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Eyes Saunders-Korobov on Chisora-Fury II

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

One man's loss is another man's gain. On Thursday, Peter Quillin (31-0, 22KOs) announced that he was vacating the World Boxing Organization's middleweight title. He was scheduled, at least on paper, to face mandatory challenger Matt Korobov (24-0, 14KOs) on November 8th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

The next contender is line for a shot is #2 ranked Billy Joe Saunders (20-0, 11KOs), who is promoted by Frank Warren.

That would be a great card. A rarity for Frank these days.

I think Korobov and Top Rank should take the offer, it'll give them a good pay-day and it's a very winnable fight for Korobov. Then Miguel Cotto has an option at 160lbs if the WBC tries to force Cotto to fight Golovkin.

Wonder if Top Rank bothers putting up money again

The Eubank Jr. fight can wait - this is the one Saunders needs and has been working towards all these years. He's paid his domestic dues. If he were to win a title, he can then command a shitload more money for a Eubank Jr. fight down the line. With that said, I've never seen a single second of Korobov. Is he too much for Saunders?

I think he has a very good chance of beating Saunders. He's got a stunning amateur pedigree and he has performed well in recent bouts. And obviously even haymon saw that he was too risky. But I think like you say it's the right fight for billy. He's worked hard and deserves a chance at the title. Eubank jr can wait until then.

lol, doubt they were making it next. I think the most Frank mentioned it was that they would at some point in some time

Not at all. Korobov isn't very good. It's actually a winnable fight for Saunders who I don't really rate either. Much better chance at getting a title than fighting Qullin imo

Expect a British Stoppage and holding the title hostage for years to come

great

I'll believe it when I see 'em both in the ring, would be a great fight though.
