    Looks like Ruslan heading to Russia Nov 29 or Dec 6th



    In a nut shell, Ruslan wants to be a main and get paid, but HBO doesn't have the money for that right now, so they're letting him fight in Russia.

    Also, andrade/Korobov will most likely follow...just a guess. But HBO running low, he might be able to get more money there, and Korobov being Russian will help sell the event....

        I know Provodnikov wants to move up to WW, I'd love to see him fight Leonard Bundu in this fight. Even Zavek would be good, but Bundu being undefeated and the EU champ would mean alot more and it'd be an interesting slug fest.

        I don't see the Korobov/Andrade fight going to Russia though. Korobov has had all his fights in the US and in an interview last night on 'The Ruckus' he said he was relieved he wouldn't be going to the UK to face Saunders and looked forward to fighting Andrade in the US. HBO has already started investing into Andrade and Korobov, I imagine it stays in their best interest to continue to develpe another MW for Golovkin.
        Tim Bradely will be fighting in December, Andrade/Korobov might be an ideal undercard there. Though I thought it'd fit perfect under Hopkins/Kovalev, but HBO isn't know for doing triple headers (just as well, it'd probably confuse the tv audience into thinking Korobov/Kovalev were the same person and that he was fighting twice in the same night).
