Chris Colbert v Jaime Arboleda Showtime

[Spicoli]

Another one that falls under the radar and off the screens tomorrow night. Both have solid skill and should be pretty competitive chess match. Apparently for a interim wba 130 lb trinket. Chris Colbert 14-0 has some flash and style. Receives some premature comparisons to a young Whitaker thanks PBC crew . Jaime Arboleda 16-1 can bring the speed and fireworks and we're going to see what kind of beard Colbert has.

Co main is at 160 with Ronald Ellis 17-1-2 taking on Matt Korobov 28-3-1. Starting to wonder if Korobov is truly jinxed after his last 3 starts. 'tko' to Eubank Jr a bit bogus but with Eubank out a year now why not a rematch? Not sure of start time but will try to catch.

Thanks for the heads up.

It appears there's gonna be plenty of boxing on TV tonight.

Colbert-Arboleda is supposed to be televised on Showtime....... and over on ESPN they have the Shakur Stevenson vs Toka Khan Clary fight.

Two of my local guys (Felix Verdejo, Edgar Berlanga) are fighting on the Stevenson card... so I'm obviously looking forward to those.

I think that Verdejo loses this one. I’ll give my condolences beforehand in case I forget afterwards 😁

I'm not all that confident, TBH. He's gotta show me something before I start getting excited over his potential again.

But thanks. Condolences accepted.

Ellis and Korobov in opener actually. Ellis blows contracted 161 wt by 5 lbs . Tonight he weighs 180. There has to be a bigger penalty than 10-20 percent for guys who do this. Hope he catches a brick.

[Spicoli]

Korobov with the accuracy in 1st and slips in a couple of clean right crosses.

[TitoFan]

Yeah... I'm pretty tired of guys just blowing off weight limits and coming in heavy. No frigging discipline. Makes me want to root for Korobov. I thought Korobov took the first round anyway.

[Spicoli]

Korobov letting the hands roll off in close picking spots. Bit smothering but moving an inactive Ellis around. Ellis jabbing last minute not much behind it. 2-0 Korobov

[TitoFan]

Maybe I'm suddenly biased... but gave the 2nd to Korobov also.

[Spicoli]

Site is running sloooooow? Alright lets try again . Ellis opening up mid third probably took that round.

[TitoFan]

Round 3 was closer... not sure who I'd give it to, TBH.

[TitoFan]

Ok I'll give Rd 3 to Ellis... but Rd 4 was all Korobov. 3-1 Korobov.

[Spicoli]

Nice exchanges along ropes 4th. Korobov getting in cleaner and getting out. Ellis just looks odd in the legs doesn't move too smooth at all. Korobov 4th me thinks

Ellis with Courage Tshabalala working corner, remember him .

[TitoFan]

OMG..... fight's over!! Korobov is one brittle dude.

[TitoFan]

Last time out a torn rotator cuff..... now some kind of ankle issue. He's 37, so........ maybe the time to hang 'em up is approaching.
