To be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing him pull out. It would give Korobov a huge opportunity as first reserve, to step in and finally make an impact, in his career.
Good shout. I'd of preferred Korobov to the American that Brehmer beat, about time Korobov started getting big fights.
Ryder is a good call, he's on some good form at the moment and it'd be good to have another Brit in. Regarding Korobov I've been a big fan from the start and think not only has he been mismanaged but outside of the Lee fight he's never gotten a chance. Regarding Korobov's career in 28 fights he's only ever been in 3 fights which where scheduled for 10 rounds or more.
Or Smith could have just fought DeGale when he was champ before he entered the super tournament. Smith should stay committed to the tournament he entered
Big fan of korobov and imo his had to many fights at a poor level and that was probably why his looked so flat at times and that was probably his downfall in the Lee fight because he was winning easy
This. I can picture Smith pulling out using the venue etc as a smokescreen. All these chumps are terrified of young English. Their mannerisms change when his name is brought up! According to all these fighters, eubank loses every match up they are quizzed on. In other words they are hoping he loses as they know he is gonna take everyone's soul. I get uneasy watching Jnr fight. He is the most dangerous fighter on the planet. Those uppercuts are having a whiplash effect on the brain. No one wants that.
May I add, it's not just the fighters who are terrified of young English, it's the hardcore boxing fans too. They love to **** on fighters who have a bit of traction with casual's. I don't believe anyone can seriously believe Groves beats Eubank. The easiest money that can be made. Seriously.
I think I will back eubank heavily against groves. I think groves hasn't looked great his last few fights. The only advantage I can see for groves is jab and size. Everything else i see eubank jr
HA!HA! "young English". Great wind-up. An unfit Saunders whupped him and then Eubank wouldn't sign for the rematch.
Glad he never agreed to DeGale fight as DeGale went and got his dodgy shoulder operated on only days later do fight could not have happened. Callum would also have lost chance of fighting for world title too.
