Best Rising Middleweight

Pirog, if he ever fights again.

From what I saw of Macklin against a late fill in he is no world beater, no speed, no power, no clue. Andy Lee isnt even as big a puncher as Mayorga on the evidence of their last fights!

Grzegorz Proksa. Blanked on that one. Sorry.



Darren Barker.

Easy... Korobov!

Easy... Korobov!

Heard his performances have been pretty flat recently. I'm waiting for him to step up the competition level. He's been fighting tomato cans for a minute now.

Yeah, Rantcatrat, checked it out and he's stepped into the 8-rounders now, all UD's despite two of these bouts against certified tomato cans in Snyder and Greenidge.

The last one was a step up of sort for Korobov as he was up against Findley, who himself is in a similar move to the 8-10 rounders from 6. He was on a tear winning his last 4 bouts and 3 by stoppages, the reason why I am thinking that Matt's handlers may finally be pushing harder with Korobov's carreer as he is not getting any younger for this stage, at 27 yrs old.

He is still unbeaten tho', so that's one thing going good for him. Attractive for PPV undercard assignments.

I seem to remember from the Bertinelli fight that Korobov had KO power... any idea for the consecutive decisions he's been having as of late?

Is it a case of him outgrowing 160 by which consequence weght drained on fight night, or discipline, training, or attitude issues?

Good point. Findley was his toughest opponent to date and that was his last fight. Findley was Dirrell's last opponent before the Super Six.

I voted Gennady Golovkin...he does look small at middleweight,but seems that he can punch...I mean he has got alot of KOs instead of the usual TKOs and from what I've seen he is decent enough technical boxer...would like to see him fight some bigger names...
