    He is good, but he got the worst stamina in boxing and i think he has 0 passion for boxing.

    This fight could be a real snooze-fest. Neither has good stamina. At least Andy Lee has some passion for boxing, but that's about all he does have. Really neither of these two should be contesting a world title. It just belittles boxing.

    A highly skilled perennial underachiever.

    I wouldn't bet against him if he was fighting almost anyone except GGG cos he'd probably find a way to a dull win, but it's almost impossible to get excited about Matvey, despite the occasional flashes of brilliance.

    He should beat Andy Lee and I was roughly 50 / 50 on Quillin, but TBH it's really hard to tell because of his inconsistency.

    They both will brawl if dragged into one, but neither of them is apt to do any dragging.

    Flashes of being very good now and then. Mostly very average (for "world class"), though... Even when he looks good, it's usually only for moments of a round.

    He should handle Lee in a pretty close fight, but I'd be surprised if Lee actually decisively beats him.

    I saw ihm the fist time in 2009 vs Bartinelli and thought he was a good talent.
    But he hasn't stepped up in competition until this june.

    I think he will beat Lee on point's but no chance vs Golovkin, Jacobs or Cotto

    No chance versus Cotto? Really?

    He looked pretty good to me. Strong counter puncher, smart. His issue is his stamina. He looks horrible in the late rounds.

    Pretty decent. Favor him against Lee.

    I wouldn't call him a plodder, I think his footwork is sublime.

    I can't find anyone saying Lee beats Korobov.
    Does ANYONE think Andy wins this?

    think he has a chance, Korobov has poor conditioning and Lee is a good boxer

    He definitely has a chance. He'll never get a better one. Korobov has no business contesting a world title.
    But which ever of these two wins, he won't be champ for long. That you can count on. It'll be another Darren Barker job.

    Sublime? Don't you mean Subpar?
