Comments Thread For: Jermall Charlo vs. Matt Korobov Set Down, Monroe Out

[boliodogs]

No he does not have a shot to beat Jermall. Somebody in power seems to be getting Jermall very easy fights and yet gaining him a world title. Boxrec ranks him 54th in the world which is a hell of a long way from top ten. The guy is not nearly as good as Monroe and Monroe wasn't that good. He is also 35 years old. I think Jermall will KO him and look good doing it but Jermall will still have never fought a legit top 10 middleweight to prove himself at 160.

What if Korobov was more active?

Korobov is ranked 54th at Light Heavyweight on boxrec if that means anything.

[WallabeeKing]

Nah, Im happy he's getting the check though.

He's actually a lot better than Munroe but his age and inactivity is not good.

❌ WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has confirmed Willie Monroe Jr is out of Saturday's fight with Jermall Charlo because they can't carry out a full investigation in time. He tested positive for a "banned steroidal substance," though had disclosed use of a “testosterone booster."

Xmas payday for Korobov

[UNBIASED BOXING]

What the **** happened to Korobov's career? Andy Lee ruined him, and I think Korobov could have whooped his ass in a rematch.

It's sad because he really was a good boxer. Now, we get to see a shot Korobov who maybe can't even make 160 fight Jermall. I fear for Korobov's health for this fight. He didn't even look fat at that fight at 175, too (although I realize he probably didn't rehydrate much).

[DuckAdonis]

Not when he has a fight at 175 scheduled in a week and when his last fight was a comeback 6 rounder after being out for 2 years. Only a punchers chance. Complete mismatch

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

I might be tripping but im pretty sure Korobov was already on the card but he was facing someone else? am I right?

Yeah but at light Heavyweight lmao. He has to drain himself down to Middleweight in a few days. That ain't going well

Yeah he was. PBC has learned to have multiple guys in the same weight class on a card in case a fight falls through. I would think after the GGG/Canelo/ Vanes/Derevchenko cluster f-ck they all learned to be prepared to have a backup plan.
