Matt Korobov thread.

Very few guys with so much talent, have had their career wasted so much.

Absolutely stellar amateur career, been pro for 8 years and hasn't really achieved anything, and is still fighting low level fighters., and now hes 33

 

How is spending a year fighting club fighters "coming back properly"

 

Yeah his career feels like it's been wasted. Lee has limitations as a fighter but his power is undoubted. Hope he can get back to relevance soon

 

He was looking sluggish against Lee before the stoppage, even though basically everyone had him up 3-2 in rounds. As a whole his pro career has been highly disappointing.

He had a fantastic two year run in the amateurs from 2006-7 but showed signs of serious decline during his final year in the amateurs 2008.

 

He didn't amount to what I thought he could've been. In hindsight, it looks like he peaked as an amateur...or maybe the same conditioning issues were always there but never manifested themselves thanks to shorter fights in the ams.

 

korobov admires his work to me. technically he looks very sound and his movements an coordination look good. all he korobov does is look like he knows what he is doing in there. but in the pro ranks hes hasnt accomplished much.

 

His run at the 2007 world championship was impressive, but i feel he reached his peak there, somehow like Clinton Jackson who was shot even before turning pro.
