    Unfortunately Korobov and Mekhontsev will most likely not make it to TV.:sad2

    I wouldn't bet on it, the slot is for 2 hours I believe and that'll go to Valdez/Avalos and Hart/Pryor Jr. most likely.

    Midleweight division is so packed right now.I don't think he can win belt in three fights time.Maybe next year.But I doubt that.I don't think he can beat top midleweights.

    I don't think he'll wanna get in to GGG's way unless there's huge money involved. Do you think he'd chase a rematch with Andy Lee?

    I don't think Top Rank will alow it.I think they will build him up once agains and then challenge Saunders for the title,I think Saunders will win the belt.

    Saunders doesn't have enough power to get Lee's respect. Lee is gonna blow Saunders away in my opinion.

    Saunders has that superior amateur pedigre.And decent chin as well.If Eubanks didn't,Lee can't also,in my opinion.

    You are comparing Eubank Jr. , a young pro on a learning curve, with limited opposition until Saunders to Lee, a titlist, veteran pro with far superior power. I don't think you can compare, to be honest. It's an interesting fight though, with varying opinions on who will win.

    Maybe but I think Eubank would give problems to Lee.

    I think a lot of people are overlooking Saunders - he can outbox Lee, but Lee is carrying the power. I'd personally love to see Korobov win a title, and think him vs Saunders is a great matchup.

    Definetely,Saunders doesn't have the power to trouble Korobov.
