      I'm seeing a lot of round 1-3 predictions.
      Did Korobov look that bad in his last fight(s)?

      Anything is possible in boxing but I'm struggling to make sense of a seemingly expected blowout

        He fought at 175 i think and was looking to fight at 168.

        He's basically gonna kill himself to get down to Middleweight on a weeks notice. He'll probably be a dead man walking before getting in the ring.

          Korobov is just a name to me. Won’t know anything until he gets in the ring and I see him fight.

            Wasn’t his fight at a catch weight of 162?

                  He's not a huge MW and I think its a case of he's had to take anything that comes his way regardless of weight.
                  He's been terribly managed and avoided.
                  High risk, no reward what so ever.

                    Nah, he was scheduled to fight at 162, so it won't be that drastic of a weight cut. Now, two pounds is still a lot on late notice. But make no mistake, Korobov was added to this card to set up as a potential Charlo opponent. Haymon desperately needs MWs for Charlo as the other ones are locked up at DAZN. Well, assuming Jacobs and GGG end up there. Still, wouldn't have been surprising at all if Korobov got Charlo early next year. WMJ failing the drug test just speeds up the process I guess lol.

                      No he isn't. The contracted weight for his fight was only 162. Stop with the fake news.
