Andrade vs Korobov On!

[wiz1030]

I'm cool with the fight, but I think it would be fair if they somehow mandate BJS for the winner of this for an immediate defense

[Weebler I]

Uhmmm, there's a little matter of Jermain Taylor suddenly being ranked in the top 15 at MW despite not having had a fight in about a year, let alone against anyone of note. And it's not like there was ever a cozy relationship b/c the IBF was the first to strip Jermain after he rematched Hopkins.

I didn't say they were perfect, although he fought more recently than than you're saying (December 2013) and he's only ranked 15th.

All Sanctioning body rankings are b/s to be honest, but if they have them they should stick by them and not parachute outsiders from other divisions in above their ranked contenders like the WBO have just done.

Banner have a good relationship with Top Rank having co-promoted a couple of times. Arum gets now Korobov in a marketable fight against an US opponent on HBO.

There's a good chance that either Warren would have won that purse bid for Saunders or that HBO may not have aired the Korobov v Saunders fight.

Imo the IBF are the only sanctioning body who seem to do things by the book these days.

I get what you're saying, but Andrade is the harder opponent and the BJS fight in England would be the bigger fight.

Not justifying it or anything.

Also HBO running low on money... so don't know what's going on.


Rumors are Ruslan will fight in Russia instead of HBO... I think this could head there. This can't headline it's own event unless in RI, but there's really no viable dates for this

[Killer_of_Sheep]

the winner should fight Golovkin.

Time to unify those titles.

[Hougigo]

BJS Was screwed though... he was the #1 contender before Korobov and got bumped

[ShoulderRoll]

Andrade is with Banner

But who is CEO of Banner Promotions? The guy that Arum always refers
to as "my good friend Artie Pellulo."

So he would hook up his fighter with a more dangerous opponent?

Andrade beats him and then takes GGG out

[boliodogs]

Quillin is a chicken. He won't fight GGG and now he won't fight Korobov for 1.4 million which is probably more money than he usually gets for his title defenses. I think Korobov would have KOed Quillin and he will KO Andrate. Now Andrate can show fans if he is as good a fighter as he keeps saying he is.

GGG is married, he'll have to find someone else to take out.
