    They all have their own styles. Sergei Vodopyanov is one who would get a lot of attention as a pro; he's extremely exciting and flashy. But German promoters have easier access to them and they get better contracts in Germany; and boxing is bigger over there than it is in the US now.

    Korobov is awesome. My favourite prospect right now. I like the fact that you like Vodopyanov Kolya. I watched him triumph in the 2007 nationals, and have been a huge fan ever since. And I think he is only around 20-21 right now so is a very exciting prospect.

    My rage when he "lost" at the Olympics was boundless (Vodopyanov, that is).

    Korobov is a great amatuer as are most of the Russian Fighters but there is no doubt in my mind that by the time they both peak as professionals that Danny Jacobs will **** all over him in a 12 rounder. Just my opinion

    I dunno about that. Danny had a tough last fight, but he has a LOT of things he needs to improve on as a pro.

    Kolya you're up on this amatuers like no other. I've seen Danny improve over the last two years since he was training here. I didn't get to see him this time, but I saw the fight and he does have things to work on but who dosen't?
