Thrilled to see Matvey Korobov get this opportunity. I’m pulling for him. My only concern is that it’s been some time between fights for him and whether ring rust will play a role. I know he trains relentlessly and will be in great shape no doubt. He deserves this and I know he’ll give it his all.
Do you know Matvey or one of his team personally? I remember speaking with a dude a while back (can't recall on here or ESB) who knew 'em a bit too, said much the same thing. Matvey's just one of those dudes never quite caught a break and then when he did it went wrong, but I've always maintained he's one of the most technically skilled fighters around.
I didnt read much about the Harrison fight but he might give problems because he could box and move.
As far as the Korobov fight goes, from what I read, Korobov was under contract to fight at 162 on the undercard. Almost certain having to lose 2 pounds on a week's notice is gonna affect him (unless they let him fight over weight) but regardless even if it was a level playing field I cant imagine Korobov winning more than 4 rounds before getting stopped by Jermall.
Just for future reference, man, you want to use your username, not mine on your pick. When I put PICK EM CREW in the bit about how to make your pick in the original post that was just an example.
There's always someone around to kick you when you're down, man.
But nah... good call, man. I saw a draw with Matvey / Jermall but I could easily see it going Korobovs way on neutral ground. And you are the only dude to pick Harrison...
