    Default Quillin vs Korobov

    What do ya think? Any chance of the politics being worked out and this one happening? Has the making of a decent scrap. I actually think Quillin has improved but is sitting on cruise control as far as big fights for whatever reason. Korobov finally came out of witness protection and had a opportunity last week to break out win. He won but looked labored and to me like a guy who has been through twice as many fights as he's actually had.

    You know what, I'm not a fan of either but you're right, the politics should be set aside and let this one happen. As long as it's competitive, it could set up either for huge $payday $

    Korobov had struggling moments in his last 2... the worse was round 1 vs Edwards... Quillin has all the tools to outbox a hot and cold Korobov. BUT his chin is his limit and Korobov can bang

    Could be a snoozer.

    I feel like Korobov has had two careers, he's been marinating too long. Might be in the minority but really think Quillin is showing a respectable backfoot and accuracy lately. The trinket organization sounds insistent on this happening.

    Both fighters have looked underwhelming. Quillin since he won the title and Korobov for seemingly half his career. I think Quillin wins a boring decision.

    Korobov is just to basic. Quillin has more variety in his offense. I think he beats him on points. Something like 117-111 or 116-112

    Korobov always been a hot and cold fighter... he was the flavour of the month for a while too earlier in his career. I always thought he was a slow pace puncher... so a busy durable fighter can beat him. But Edwards also exposed a soso chin.

    Quillin is a hot and cold fighter, but not fight to fight... he is in hot and cold during the same fight... started with miranda... and extended to many other performances where he starts brilliantly well looking like a Norris... but then looks vulnerable, lacks stamina and shows a shaky chin.

    Yeh I get that in a way but frankly today. I like a guy rattled early in career and see how he bounces back and adjusts, similar to Miranda fight. His power is consistent from beginning to end but he does hit cruise control...like last fight...when you see everything to indicate he can-should shift gears into high. What I saw there was a guy thinking about tomorrow and yes dominating but knowing he was just in a stay busy, look good today...work on things and look great tomorrow type fight. But that is a very dangerous habit and a statement on how much promotion and self need to get in there and make a major fight or get rusty and not even know it. His stamina is fine, frankly he looks board at times. If watching a borderline jr middle thought to be in his twilight come in and dominate "the" middleweight champion doesn't light a fire under GBPs arse to force showdowns, I don't know what will.

    I agree with this. He needs to step it up at this point in his career, or he'll slowly fade into obscurity. Personally I like watching him fight. He's got the good power, combined with a not-quite-iron chin which makes him vulnerable. He's also aggresive and tends to press the action. Makes for exciting action.

    I happen to think Quillin has a decent chin. He just gets hit a little too often. More often than GGG does, and he also doesn't slip punches as GGG does. But what he can do is fight, pour it on and take it to the next level.

    He is the only one in the division that can, on any night and against anyone, knock his opponent spark out. Not wear him down. Not make the guy quit in the corner. Not let the ref stop it via TKO. But put someone spark out, flat on the canvas.

    Quillin is the best MW out there today. Better than GGG.
