Either way, I was still correct in that Quillin vacated a belt to avoid Korobov. It might not have been because he feared a loss (but then again, that may have played a role in it too), but he vacated his title to not fight him.
Upon further analysis though, I agree with you that it was probably because of the Haymon-Beyoncé beef. Thank you for bringing that to my intention. And here is some green for your knowledge.

He has a really unusual amount of stoppage wins at elite level, you'd of thought going off by that he could punch.
Real shame he couldn't transition well, but I'd guess he could still give most of the guys a 160 - 168 a boxing lesson.
