This will be televised by HBO before Crawford-Gamboa.

Interesting matchup, who do you think will win?

[Silkeyjoe]

Korobov should use better skills to make this an easy nights work. Korobov beat Kovalev 2 out of 3 times as an amateur and has said should he win this wants GGG next. I saw him on an Andy Lee card years ago and thought he was something special but hasnt progressed as I would have liked.

Not familiar with Uzcategui. So I can't comment on who'll win.

The bookies have Korobov a pretty big favorite - Matt Korobov v Jose Uzcategui Winner Betting Odds | Boxing Betting | Oddschecker

This is Korobov's time to shine. Can't remember a guy who has stayed a "prospect" as long as him.

[boxing prospect]

Small bet on Jose who I've liked, albeit against limited opponents.

Promising scrap. Korobov did the opposite of what many young guns do today and just went into obscurity. Could just be a wise maturing process, or something else. Def the more polished. Both coming off decent wins and even though David Lopez was long in the tooth, no one has beat him up and flattened him like that in over a decade. I think Uzcategui has a shot here. Dude is raw and somewhat awkward but hits like a mule. Should shape up to be a shoot out for as long as it lasts.

Korobov should win I think easily if he can stay active and settle on a trainer I think he can be a major player

He sucks. Did you see that performance? Terrible, humiliating, pathetic!!!

I'd still pick him over Quillin

Korobov is so stiff. You can look at him for two seconds and see that his stance limits him. His stance limits everything.

Korobov's performance was meh

He could be just another fighter who was a better amateur than a pro. Wouldn't be the first & certainly wouldn't be the last.

Beating Sergey Kovalev in the Russian Nationals



Dominating and dropping Danny Jacobs




Then again...his cautious approach last night could be because he was almost knocked out by Derek Edwards. Matt threw the kitchen sink at him...only to walk into a shot. If you don't want to watch entire fight at least watch the 1st rd. Entertaining fight...polar opposite of what happened in the Uzcategui fight.

He's half Murat and half Abraham.
