We get it: Baron Corbin is a former Golden Gloves boxer. He can throw hands. Apparently, thats all he really can do.

Corbins match against Dolph Ziggler was a tale of two bouts Sunday. There was the segment that Corbin controlled almost entirely, and the part where Ziggler took over to carry the workload. And what a difference between the two. Lets put it this way: Its never a good sign when the crowd chants, Boring at you and the announcers have to cover by saying, He takes his time.

The Lone Wolf threw punch after punch after punch at Ziggler, taking a good amount of time to set each one up. If thats all hes got in the tank, then this doesnt bode well long term for him. Corbin has a chance to make an impact, but that window is going to start closing if he doesnt do something.
