Comments Thread For: Saunders-Korobov Back in Play For Vacant WBO Title

[Citizen Koba]

I was looking forward to this fight too, guess korobov is the new boogeyman

Thing is, while Korobov is good and would prove a tough challenge for anyone at MW, he's not that good that a Quillin or Andrade should be avoiding him.

I'd expect Korobov to beat Saunders fairly handily, but I'd be wary about taking the fight in London where he'll need to put in an overwhelmingly dominant performance or a KO to ensure the W - his tendency to take his foot off the gas would make it too easy to take rounds off him (and you just know that Warren will do all he can to get BJS that strap).

I'm one of Korobov's biggest advocates here...but come on now... he's not that dangerous

****** boo boo is ******

It seems than Saunders has more courage than Quillan and Andrade. Props to him for taking on a good opponent.

I just hope Korobov isn't the victim of an early referee stoppage (a regular occurance on Frank Warren's cards).

This is like a free belt for whoever takes the fight, Koborov really isnt anything special.

Watching Quillin's fights with N'Dam, Rosado, and Konecny and given Korobov's fights with Edwards, O.Duran, Findley, and Uzecat, I was feeling increasingly comfortable taking Korobov over Quillin. Where I felt Andrade could've taken a decision over Korobov. I'm digging Korobov to beat BJS.

Boo Boo says GGG is ducking and then he turns down the Korobov fight....

[Hougigo]

Honestly, this makes the WBO look bad more than anything

Booboo done doodooed himself. We've got a new Kid Chocolate.

Arum was upset with Pelullo after it was announced Andrade would get the fight...saying that they had an agreement for Korobov and Saunders would fight and Andrade would get the winner.

Maybe there's been some communication between Top Rank and Andrade's camp, and that something was worked out between the two.
