korobov...I'm not impressed

look pretty average to me, and he got whooped convincingly

 

Yeah. He came up against a tough opponent and just got outdone. It doesn't erase all the good things he's done as an amateur though.

You guys should be watching Luis Yanez, man the guy gots talent and potential gold. I already said I told you so with Marg, I would love to say it again.

 

Yanez got gunshy the last round and lost fair and square. He refused to throw his jab and was countered.

 

**** I'm dissapointed with Korobov, he was a sure thing for Gold. All credit to Artayev for finding the right gameplan to beat him though. Let's hope both Korobov and Artayev turn pro after the games.

Can't remember where I seen it but Korobov is turning pro directly after the games.

 

Artayev...is there any chance this guy turns pro? Gold at Welter in Athens and probably the favorite now for gold at middleweight, looks like he'd project well professionally. Anyone know?

 

I think I read somewhere he's considering turning pro after the Olympics.

 

Kazakhstan does pay very well for Gold Medals though.

 

This is true, apparently Artayev got an appartment and a car last time he won Gold.

 

Thanks! I hope that winds up being the case. :thumbsup

 

What a great fight though, you could see the talent both fighters have, i hope too see both go pro.
The middleweight does seem like a great division in the Ams.
