    Matt Korobov should fight Jacobs. Korobav said he wanted to fight Jacobs, Andrade, Lemieux but no one wants to fight him. I believe he wasted his career one punch by Andy Lee ruined his career. I know he is old, but he was out boxing Lee, not only time Lee did this. I heard top rank dropped him because Zurdo didnt want to fight him.

    Korobov blew the one shot he's had at the big time against Lee and because of the risk/reward ratio no one wants to fight him. Shame........

    None related issue but Quillin was a stupid square head idiot for not taking that money and fighting Korobov because of Haymon's beef with Beyonce'. Your family is gonna starve because your "adviser" has old music beef?
    Might as well had of been advised by Suge Knight.

    Jacobs refuses to fight Charlo, hell, Charlo is the best, he proved it when he beat a cripple!

    I'd like that fight. I spoke to Matvey a little while ago and he said how difficult it is to get fights now. As you say, the risk\reward is really against him. Really wasted in terms of talent

    Id like to see him get another shot or at least a significant crossroads fight given his story.

    I think he might be one of those fighters whose peak was even before he turned pro. And he was brought along to slow to capitalise on it.
    I mean this cat was a two time am world champ with 300 plus fights and it was 5 years and over 20 pro bouts before he took on a ranked opponent.

    Was his.debut or maybe his 3 or 4th fight they aired on a pretty big T.V card? Maybe even a PPV.

    It's a pity such a talented boxer with that shaky whiskers. Jacobs would KO him.

    Since you're all bummed out that the fight will probably never happen, let me offer you a little bit of consolation.

    Here's Matvey Korobov savagely dropping and then stopping Jacobs in the amateurs. Enjoy!

    Its every bit as vicious and satisfying as pro match, for a change.

    I think shaky whiskers is very harsh. Lee is a very big puncher and caught him right on the button. He managed to stay on his feet the whole time

    Can't remember exactly cause it was some years ago. I don't know if it was on the Uzcategui or the Edwards fight, but he was wobbled badly a couple times. He had the skills but fought in such a careful way that made me think his chin was not going to hold in some point. Can't remember exactly, just talking about fights that I saw 4 or 5 years ago.

    Not glass, but it's not solid. Or there are mental issues, I don't know.

    Thanks for the video, I didnt know Korobav beat Jacobs in the amateurs. It just sucks thats some fighters get a ton of chances and some only get 1. Top rank wanted to put Korabov against Zurdo Ramirez and Zurdo turned down the fight even though he is a 160lb fighter. That is when he was realeased.

    I don't recall that happening to be honest but that certainly doesn't mean it didn't. If it was Uzcategui then I guess that isn't so bad as he can certainly bang. You're right though, his style was a bit too cautious at times. Certainly won't help him secure fights in current times

    He beat a pretty crazy list of names in the AM's to be fair. I think @Serge is usually good for that sort of info

    saunders said korobov got to stiff during the pros, and was a great mover and slick as himself in the ams.

    His CV is insane he went on something like a five year unbeaten run IIRC (his manager Cameron Dunkin said his loss against Bakhtiyar Artayev was his first in 5 years but I'll have to check to see if that's true) whilst competing in many major championships and other prestigious tournaments against the best in the world. He defeated so many top quality guys along the way too.

    Ismail Sillakh: 302-16 world amateur silver medalist/European silver medalist - beat Gaydarbekov, world amateur gold and silver medalist/2 x European gold medalist Artur Beterbiev, 2 x world amateur gold medalist/Olympic bronze medalist Abbos Atoev, Thabiso Mchunu, Badou Jack, Dmitry Chudinov, Yunier Dorticos and 2 or 3 other top Cubans, Vyacheslav Shabranskyy

    Alfonso Blanco: world amateur silver and bronze medalist - beat Olympic gold medalists James DeGale and Bakhtiyar Artayev, 2 x world amateur silver medalist/Olympic silver medalist Adilbek Niyazymbetov, Emilio Correra, Mike Perez, Dmitry Chudinov, Felix Valera, Darren Sutherland
