Yes, he still had his hands up.Congrats to Andy Lee and I don't mean to rain on the parade, but I did feel the stoppage seemed a bit premature. I would have liked to see Korobov have more of a chance to fight out of the situation. He wasn't even dropped and was really just caught with the one big shot. He did seem to have his senses about him. He should have been throwing back.
Mind you, I don't think Korobov protested the stoppage so maybe he felt it was right. Looked to me that he could have fought out of it though. Why wasn't he throwing back, he didnt seem that hurt? He should have taken a knee, recovered then got up and resumed.
In any case, great win for Lee, congrats to him and I guess its better to stop a fight too early than too late. But it did feel like the stoppage was too soon.
Korobov wasn't doing anything and had blank vacant look in his eyes. If I was the referee I stop it too. I feel bad for him because of the length of time it took him to get a shot at a world belt but with all of the recent tragedies in boxing we didn't need a potential one on the eve of Christmas.Congrats to Andy Lee and I don't mean to rain on the parade, but I did feel the stoppage seemed a bit premature.

Solid 50-50 type fight between Lee and Quillin.
Lee has a knack for scoring incredible one punch KO'Sand hhis lead hook can be devastating, see his KO'S over Daniels, Jackson, and Korobov. So in terms of power you'd have to say Lee has the advantage.
Lee also has a deep amateur background (more than 100 amateur fights) which is notable compared to Quillin who took up boxing later in life and only has 30 or so amateur fights. This should also give Lee a technical and defensive advantage.
The fight is in Quillin ' s home country and home city so expect the officiating to favour him.
Prediction: Lee KO 7
Al Haymon card and fighter. Lee needs a knockout.
