They are trying to set up a superfight between him and Tyrone Spong. But that is a whole other thread...

If Nathan Corbett would fight in the regular Dutch/European Competetion he would not dominate, he would be good but he would not dominate. I also think less of him because the best MW fighter of the world came to the "King of the Ring" just to fight Nathan. Nathan said he would fight there but did not come to face Tyrone Spong.
He should face real competition on regular base, like the European fighters, if he then keeps on winning we can say Corbett is dominating.
Spong fights all that they throw at him and he defeated some of the greatest names in the world. He beat Joeri Mes (while at the time the considered the best), Shakuta, Vincent Vielvoye, Kaoklai, Mohammed Ouali, Youness, Hutnik His list is a who's is who from Hollands/Europe's finest like Gonzalves, Diender, Akdeniz, Jan van denderen and Zoraj
Who did Corbett beat besides Balrak on though decission, Magomedov on deccision and Kaoklai? a whole bunch of nobodies... Al the guys he beat wouldn't even be fighting with the big boys in Europe.
