In case anyone cares, Pirog comes out of obscurity to fight again this weekend

[Rantcatrat]

Against Gennady Martirosyan. Knowing Pirog, he will beat Martirosyan and then go right back into obscurity.

I really thought we would see more of Pirog after the Jacobs fight. I mean he comes to Las Vegas, fights on the JMM-Diaz undercard and KO's up and coming Daniel Jacobs. I thought for sure he would try to fight someone like Andy Lee, or similar caliber. But no, he goes back to Russia and fights a couple of times. It's not like he's 24 years old, this guy is 31. While that's not old i thought for sure he would try to capitalize on the Jacobs win somewhat.

Yes seems an odd one with Pirog, not as if he is a young guy either.

I hope he fights someone good next time.. He needs to stop living off the Jacobs victory and stop chasing Martinez.. He needs to earn his shot to face the top dog and beating Jacobs isn't gonna cut it..

I hope he faces Peter QUillin... QUillin kicks his ass.

Quillin v. Pirog wouldn't be bad, but to be honest, Quillin needs to climb the ladder and earn this title shot at 160. He seems a nice enough guy but it is a little annoying to hear him calling out Sergio Martinez all the time when he's only had one fight at 160 and won't face Ishe Smith because Ishe Smith doesn't do anything for him. Pirog v. Geale, Pirog v. N'Jikam, Pirog v. Golovkin, Pirog v. Proksa/Sylvester. Those are all good fights for Pirog. He's had enough staying busy fights for now. Face someone real or he becomes another home country protected fighter.

Pirog brutally broke down Gennady Martirosyan over 11 rounds.
