Re: Howard Eastman vs. Matvey Korobov
Korobov leads on points for the good portion of the fight, then suddenly retires with an injury.
I know, this comment feels ironic. But this has happened to Korobov at least twice in his career (against Eubank and Ellis). Could have happened again.
Seriously, though, I think this would've been a competitive fight. Eastman didn't embarrass himself against Hopkins or Abraham (Abraham fight could've gone either way, if I recall). But a healthy Korobov, imo, has enough pedigree to get through the tough fight and to win a competitive decision.
