Comments Thread For: David Benavidez vs. Matt Korobov in Play For Garcia-Easter

[Madison Boxing]

... "Andy ****ing Lee" happened to be a fucking slick boxer who was trained by Manny ****ing Steward...

He also happened to get stopped by vera and chavez jr. He's not exactly some world beater but he beat korobov.

... Lee eventually beat Vera in a rematch... and it's true: Lee became Chavez Jr's "best win ever"... but don't forget: Vera arguably beat Jr in their first match...

Not looking to slag off Lee just saying people are making out korobov to be some great fight yet he's beaten no-one and only half decent fighter he fought he Lost to. This kid benadivez is getting too much hype over nothing, he's beaten no-one and that statement still stands if he beats korobov.

Yea benavidez and korobov aren't anything special but a guy like connor benn is? What's your criteria for a good fighter?

... now, tbh, I'm actually rooting for David Benavidez... but, I think, he must at least floor Korobov in order to win...

Benn is a young prospect who looks the part but has proven absolutely nothing so far. Benavidez has found most his opponents from the graveyard, I know he's young but all im saying is we won't know how good he is until.he fights a legit opponent and korobov isn't world class. He's far from world class. Just cause benavidez did a job on medina doesn't make him legit.

Is there any difference between Benn and Prince Patel?

Not exactly a fight that should be fast tracked to happen, is it?
I mean If we look at who could potentially still be available -
Chris Eubank Jr
Jose Uzcategui
Jesse Hart rematch
Fedor Chudinov

These guys are all active fighting in 168 and high up in the rankings, why should Korobov be given a shot with only one fight back from his return, this isn't a case of David needing a last minute replacement this is just a cherry pick... Pretty ****ing sad.

EXACTLY!!! The guy beat Gavril to earn a god damn world title, literally who the **** is that guy?
Korobov should be forced to fight a top guy before he EARNS a shot at a world title, give the fight to Eubank Jr I'd bet big on Eubank stopping David.

Not really. Not sure how anyone thinks Benn "looks the part" - He looks garbage to me and arguably got gift v a 5-4 French journeyman. I'd never write guys off because of an early fight, some great fighters lost early on but Benn doesn't really look to have the tools to go far.

Anyone back on topic. Korobov is a decent opponent, nothing more and nothing less. He's not a bad fighter but likely to fall short at this level, especially at 35 when he's proven very little in the past.
