Saunders out - Andy Lee vs Korobov for WBO title

[Eastcoast]

Just arguing with somebody on here yesterday that BJS wouldn't pull out of this, Frank must be confident of the Eubank fight happening. Lee vs Korobov is a decent enough fight, probably end up on the undercard of Bradely-Chavez in December. Lucky for Korobov all three of his opponents after Quillin were southpaws.

Lee could probably KO Korobov with his underrated hook, or get KTFO himself

MT @jri2: Korobov vs Lee for the vacant WBO Middleweight Championship now a possibility. Matter to be decided by Championship Committee.

Interesting development for @AndyLeeBoxing - WBO say request has been made for him to fight Koborov for title #boxing

Korobov is going to destroy Lee, it will be sad.

WTF? I'm one of Korobov's biggest advocates here...but when did he become the damn boogieman?!

Andy Lee is a cool dude. I'm rooting for him, but he's not winning this one.

Wait... is Saunders out or Lee just putting in a request? No way he gets priority over the guy higher rated, he hasn't even beat a top rated MW either... he went down to 154

Well, I'm not sure how much it counts now, but he's beaten Craig Mcewen and Brian Vera, who were WBO ranked fighters when Lee fought them. Saunders hasn't fought any WBO ranked fighters I think.

Why are all these guys scared of Korobov, it makes no sense. Just like Lee, who isnt even a MW getting at shot at a vacant title

Their reasoning when they passed Saunders over Andrade was he hasn't fought one in over a year.

I'd be surprised if they pass him up.... or this Frank Warren stuff is true....but him and Arum where working on it in the first place.

If this fight is made, IMO... it'll be on the Bradley undercard, apparently it's going to be a triple header and Viloria is supposed to be on it, one spot left
