Pirog is a beast!!

[Spicoli]

The guy looked like a 175 lb fighter in there how good is this guy?? His resume is solid, Matt Macklin did the right thing ducking this guy he would of been blitzed.

Pirog v Pavlik would be fun.

he looked solid, but IMO Jacobs wasn't as hurt as he seemed, and he was beginning to box a bit better on the backfoot, wouldn't mind a rematch between the two down the road, and wouldn't mind a Pirog/Angulo fight if he could go down to 154

I dont know man.I think Jacobs was mentally out of his game as the pressure built,you could see it.He was really broken down and just dont see a rematch going any differently.Jacobs bought into the hype and over his last couple of fights acted like he 'had arrived' when in fact he is still very green and not totally championship material.They fast track some of these guys to titles and miss alot of needed foundation.Pirog vs Angulo would be fun...I HOPE HBO has him back,didnt even interview him, and he doesn't disappear back over seas like some do.

I thought Pirog looked good, but it did seem like the ref pushed Jacobs back onto the canvas when he tried to get up. I don't think he would have been stable if he got to his feet.

Both didn't look like they were ready for anyone at a higher standard yet though.

Angulo is probably too small for Pirog right now because he fights at junior middleweight. I read the promoters for Sergio Martinez and Dimitry Pirog were in talks after the fight. That could be an amazing scrap, but it may be too soon for Pirog. Who should his next fight be against? How do you think he would fare against the other middleweights: Felix Sturm, David Lemiuex, Sergio Mora, Kid Chocolate, Roman Karmazin, Sebastian Sylvester?

don't get me wrong it was a beautiful shot, but as miles said he responded well seconds later while a count would still be going on, i'm not saying that he would have won and that Pirog wouldn't have just stopped him either way, but he did look like he was there and aware of what was going on

as for the rematch, i've always been pretty indifferent when it came to Jacobs, i think he still has potential cause he has shown skills and well as it's been said he's only 23, but we seriously have to factor in a couple of details that can't be ignored, he's inexperienced as a pro and well it seems as if Golden Boy were just in a rush to cash in on the kid, and like said in another post, i honestly doubt his mind was fully in the fight, the woman that raised him (his grandmother) just died unexpectedly last week

i'm not saying he's the next great thing, but honestly we should give the kid a chance to redeem himself before passing judgment and labeling him a hype job, he has skills, power, speed and is an exceptionally talented technical fighter, so lets just give him a fair chance to bounce back

[Fenster]

Jacobs looked like he was shitting it from the start. So even if the knockdown didn't completely snooze him, he must have been thinking about staying down.

I laughed when they said Macklin considered fighting Pirog. Good night.

[generalbulldog]

I admit, this is the 1st time I've seen this Pirog guy. I'm going to need to see him fight a few more times before I can say how good he is, but it looks like he just derailed another of Goldenboy's prospects.

[ono]

Don't know if you've noticed mate but El TerribleMorales has just pointed out that Danny Jacobs is only 23! You need to go and tell him.

I agree Jacobs was crapping himself from the off.
Also can someone explain , why when there are intimidating nicknames like " BEAST " - HITMAN etc , Jacobs calls himself GOLDEN CHILD , i mean what a fucking ponce.

There have been several sissy/less than macho boxing nicknames....Jacobs didn't lose just because his nickname is lousy.

Nameless, I think a bout vs Sylvester is a good move

I think yes give him another chance but Pirog is not even known for his power you have to question Jacobs whiskas after that shot.

[Hunter]

Not another one of Golden's Boy youngins' dusted.......



When watching that shot in slow motion I am surprised Jacobs went down, the way those big ears were flapping, I thought he would have flew away..

IMO I dont think stoppage was premature....

[Mar]

Beast i dunno, but he sure looked good to me. Took some gave better, the degree of the Ko doesn't matter. Pirog got the job done.

[milmascaras1]

i've become a fan of pirog overnight. this guy has serious, mad skills. i think he would destroy pavlik and most middleweights because of his fluidness and overall ring generalship. this guy definitely knows what he's doing in the ring. potentially a great, great fighter!

[boxingbantz]

The worst thing Jacobs done was keep switching to southpaw. I don't know what he was doing to be honest, every time he done that he was getting caught. Still, the ko was pretty special. Pirog is the Ivan Drago of the middleweights. Laughing after he was hit, love that.

[Nameless]

He did damn well and was impressed by the result, now I would like to see him against another solid opponent to see how he does and to make sure it wasn't just a magic day at the office.
