Looks like he kinda got lucky off a routine maneuver. Jacobs looked stupid but then maybe he is is stupid?
It wasn't really lucky. It's not like he wasn't trying to avoid punches. Pirog has a good defense, but it's a shame he hasn't done much lately.Quote:

Still recovering from a back injury i think. Don't forget he beat Ishida like 9 months ago or summat! That was a world class win too. We will see him again soon im sure...Quote:

High on this guy, hope he doesn't waste his talent.
Pirog is an excellent fighter!
I just wish he was more active...
Pirog is still suffering from severe back problems :(
Dmitry Pirog's Return Is Cancelled, No Date Set - Boxing News
Yeah disappointing
I hope we see him back asap
Hoping the lay off doesn't hurt him too much
Shit news.Quote:

GGG is a notch above him and Danny Nacobs I'm afraid. The video illustrated it. European kfighters get typecast as too "textbook" but Pirog is the opposite. The late (and great, GREAT) Manny should have illustrated how off balance and how much of a horrible bend at the waist
(Not the knees) Pirog always has. It's
Unconventional but it works. Not against GGG though. That's my opinion but I love Pirog.
For all intents and purposes, Pirog's career is over. He's 32. His win over Jacobs should have catapulted him onto world level. It didn't. Instead he's remained in Russia fighting average fighters. Ishida isn't bad, but he's a level below Jacobs. Macial was a better win. Where is Pirog going to go now? He has no belt. Why would any of the champions face Pirog? Too much of a risk. Unfortunately, injuries have sidelined his career likely forever, although I like Pirog and hope he bounces back, it's unlikely at this stage.
I generally side with technicians over power punchers in a match between the two but Pirog hasn't done much lately and GGG is staying consistently active.
Still...gotta go with Pirog on this one.
It would be an outstanding fight either wayQuote:

Sounds like his back problems are not going away..
I had this guy tipped for big things!
