They made weight today. Pirog's mandatory defense before he allegedly faces Geale in August/September. Think he stops Ishida?

I think Ishida stops Pirog, this applecart is there for the upset. Question is, how will I watch this at work?Quote:

What time does the card start?
2 pm EDT, I think that may be the main event time. It's only on Russian TV so a stream is mandatory.Quote:

Coin flip....I'm on a bad run of picks so hell I'll pick Ishida part deaux.
I really like Pirog and im glad Ishida is making some money. That aside I dont think Ishida has the tools to succeed. Pirog is a subtle pressure fighter with maddening upper body movement.
I feel bad for anyon that has to go up against that. Not because its impossible to beat but very...painfully hard to overcome.
No wonder I've never seen either of these guys fight. They're fighting on a Tuesday.
Ugh.
Not sure I'll be able to watch it at work, but anyone have the stream for this bad boy?
Spoiler
Pirog wins by UD. From what I gather, I was on a RBR, Pirog looked good, but not great, and Ishida has a helluva beard.
Would love to catch a replay of this. Final tally was 120-108, 119-109, and 118-111. Hopefully Pirog gets more mainstream exposure specially in the US as I really think he's got great talent. I can still vividly recall how he smashed Jacobs a couple or so years ago. Here's hoping he gets matched with JC jr with the winner taking on Martinez.
What did you think about Pirog vs. Maciel?Quote:

Pirog didn't shine in the Maciel fight. He looked better in his next fight with the Russian Armenian.Quote:

I honestly think if Pirog were to fight Jacobs again, he would lose. He can be exciting when he gets going, but he can also get stuck in 1st gear sometimes.Quote:

Props to the Jap. He lose and get right backon his horse and fight in a higher weight class. And put on a good show. No quit in the kid but should return to 154.
The Jap vs the Cuban
Ishida vs Lara, I'll like to see that
BTW, Paul Williams beat Ishida but I haven't heard anything from him since. Anyone know what Williams plans are?
