Now they're saying that Haymon has issues with Jay Z. But no one could say what it is?? I don't believe it. I believe this is simply Haymon taking control of a knock out artist with a little bit of a name in the MW Division- let's face it, the only name at MW worth talking about is GGG and then Quillin.

So, Haymon just locked down the #2 guy, possibly the #1 guy, in the division.

Haymon may have just secured Quillin, but it was a dumb move by Quillin. Dumb move. So many what ifs?!?!

What if the fight with Jacobs ends up in a draw? What if he loses on points, or by knockout? What if he is robbed by the judges? What if he is stopped on cuts or due to some injury? What if the ref or doctor stops the fight too soon?

All of this makes it very difficult to market him to another title shot through Soliman's IBF belt (which is the conceptualized step after Jacobs), GGG or to regain the WBO belt. GGG already said that the main attraction to Quillin was because Quillin had a belt and a unification run is what GGG wants.

Arum, on the other hand, will most likely manoeuvre Koborov to fight a stable stiff to win the WBO title on a very good occurrence.

Quillin made a very dumb move!
