    What a great performance by Korobov on the undercard, it looks like he is learning a pro style very well, he planted his feet and he was patient. I think he can have a Pro career as good as his stellar amateur career. The other middleweight prospects on the card didn't impress me, Lara is slick but i think he lacks power and a killer instinct, Jacobs is way too egotistical and lazy to be anything in my opinion.

    My thougts exactly Korobob is the truth.

    the other two are good but not on the same level.

    Jacobs is a *****, I will be looking forward to the day someone sparks his ass.

    Yeah, though I would have liked to see him be more aggressive in his first big exposure fight. The guy he was fighting didn't give him much to hit either but it doens't look like he has the power that Korobov has, that is the difference between the two IMO.

    Korobov appears to have a good future.

    He dominated plenty of slick guys in the amateurs, if i'm not mistaken he stopped Jacobs in the amateurs on the 20 point rule.

    the kid looks real good.

    jacobs, though, has impressions of himself that far exceed the reality of his skill level.

    Impressive power. But I think he needs to fight more often as he is already 29 yrs old! It might be too late for him in the game.
