Matt Korobov?
..they better get this GGG-JACOBS done gotdammit
I do prefer the idea of extending the negotiations and cancelling the Dec. 10 fight...if it leads to GGG-Jacobs. It is the most needed fight at MW, until GGG-Canelo can happen.
@ChocolateGiddyUp is exactly right, Jacobs "insider" was saying they already were in camp preparing for only GGG.
I think the Lee rumors were because he wasnt committed to anything and will fight anyone. But, i remember in a past chat (he also fueled Lee rumors), Dan said Lee wanted time off and a 2017 return was most likely.
I dont hate the Korobov fight possibility, and i wouldnt be surprised if it happened...from a competitive standpoint i think Korobov gets wacked...but Korobov and GGG have ties due to their home countries and amatuer system, so i think on a personal level the fight means something to them (they both have said so).
It still is a lower tier fight and deserves criticism, but at least i understand why they made it, then some random bum.
