Matvey Korobov next for Gennady Golovkin after Stevens?

Korobov is the dark horse at middleweight
he was a seriously good amateur
he is one of only 3 or 4 fighters that has a chance against GGG

 

The funny thing is Korobov will be a large step up from Stevens but rest assured there are numbskulls on here bound to claim the opposite.

 

What?! YDKSAB IB!!! :twisted:
Stevens would send that eurobum Koroboy home on a stretcher... without breaking a sweat! Eurotrash robot wouldn't stand a chance! :rant

 

I agree, I think Korobov and Pirog are the biggest threats for Golovkin.

I've always thought Korobov would beat Golovkin.

 

If I was Golovkin I'd avoid Matt for the same reasons he himself has been avoided, high-risk, little reward.

 

After the Duran win i was hoping he would take a step up and fight someone like Lee or Bursak. Going from the level he's at to a title shot is undeserved and isn't something he's really prepared for but it is a fight i would like to see.

 

Can I get a source for this?

 

I'm glad Korobov is getting back into the 160 scene after looking like he was going to waste his career away.

Duran and Brewer are respectable opponents compared to who he was facing but I'd like to see him take another step up before getting a title shot at Golovkin.

There's plenty of guys Korobov could step up to like Lee, Proska, Rosado, etc before jumping up to a guy like Golovkin.

I still think Korobov gives Golovkin a good fight but I think if this fight happens next its a good fight or two too soon.

 

Arum still promotes korobov, correct/ If so, why would he throw him in with Golovkin when a promoter of his calibre could easily get Korobov a shot against Barker? Or here is a crazy idea, continue to bring him along before prematurely throwing him into a title fight.

I question the validity of this source...

 

Not sure but this might be the source I guess

Steve Kim tweet:
“@BernieBahrmasel “@latimespugmire @BobArum says if Matt Korobov looks good on Sept. 28 undercard of @jcchavezjr1-Vera, he's been promised shot at @gggboxing Golovkin.””

Tom Loeffler tweet:
@stevemaxboxing @berniebahrmasel @latimespugmire @bobarum If GGG looks good in Nov we should make the fight w Chavez-Bob can pick the weight

 

GGG facing Chavez and Korobov picking up another good win in the meantime would do wonders for this fight. As of now, it's ratings wouldn't be equal to what they should be because Korobov is still a dark horse and GGG's popularity is still growing quickly.

Stevens, Chavez, Korobov, Martinez would look damn good for GGG's next 4 fights.

 

i was hoping tehy'd build up korobov b4 throwing him into fire. oh well.

 

no way he fights GGG next. Arum has not even come close to maximizing his profit from him, and that is the bottom line..
