    Matt Korbov appreciation thread

    Semi retired, took the fight on 6 days notice. Gave a hell of a performance. Not to mention the weight cut

    He's a technically sound boxer. Lets give it up for MAAAT KOROBOV!!! for coming through and not laying down for a payday!!

      Bit misleading, I think he already had a fight scheduled so it wasn't like he was coming off the couch. But I've always been a fan, very talented but that Lee fight seriously set him back. Hopefully he gets some good fights before he's done.

        He looked spectacular in there I think he would've given most fighters trouble.

          Respects to him! Hopefully he gets another opportunity in a big fight next time with a full camp to prepare for it and not just a week. But yeah he will be given more opportunities for sure after that effort

              You show your appreciation by spelling a dude's name wrong in the title?

              That said, I think that this is a very much needed thread... there's a lot of focus on Charlo having underperformed but very little recognition that Matvey is a very, very good fighter (despite some shaky whiskers), for whom the stars just didn't align in the pro ranks.

                You should be thanking the Harrison-Charlo judges. Jermall was off his game before the fight even started. That was evidently clear

                  I don;t think Charlo has much game. This is a pitty excuse

                    Dude come on man. It was clear that Charlo was visibly effected.
