Review: 2014-12-13, some good exchanges between Matt Korobov and Andy Lee but it is not enough to get three stars: it gets two. The undefeated Matt Korobov entered this fight with a perfect boxing record of 24-0-0 (14 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.9 middleweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Gennady Golovkin); he has fought twice in 2014 beating Emil Gonzalez and Jose Uzcategui (=Korobov vs Uzcategui).
His opponent, Andy Lee, has a record of 33-2-0 (23 knockouts) and he entered as the No.15 light middleweight, he suffered his last defeat in 2012 when he faced Julio Cesar Chavez Jr (=Chavez Jr vs Lee), since then he has collected five consecutive victories, the last one against John Jackson (=Lee vs Jackson). Korobov vs Lee is valid for the vacant WBO middleweight title; undercard of Timothy Bradley vs Diego Chaves. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Official highlights
Thankfully for the viewer Andy Lee’s right hook worked its magic. This fight was plodding along before its quick finish.
Oh, I wonder how Peter Q. is feeling right now. Like a chump?
Agreed on Quillen JJ.
Hamon F!d him out of 1.4 million and a winnable fight. All because he is a sore loser. (RocNation winning the bid)
Quillen and Stevenson have entered a club
they should have never stepped foot into. It’s called PAB’s.
They each only have 1 way out:
Quillen has to fight Golovkin
Stevenson has to fight Kovalev
And it has to be in 2015. Else we come to Maywether/Pac syndrome.
IE – it just doesnt matter anymore.
Back to this fight.
Rematch. In Ireland !
I want to see it.
Then whoever can duck Golovkin.
