Pirog is a beast!!

[0james0]

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

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.

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.

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.

difference is Jacobs at least got KTFO against a world level guy , and yet i don't think he'll be fighting guys like Ike Quartey and then try to play it up like he just smashed a game guy like Khan did with a much smaller Barrera

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

Lyle i wasn't suggesting Jacobs lost because of his nickname , he lost because he is an over protected media product , and he also has a sissy nickname.

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!

[armin]

Someone said pirog made pavlik look like ssr, don't know if we were watching the same dude. Pirog looked good in there, tons of uper body movement. there was a sequence in the fight where he dodged about 6 or 7 punches just moving his upper body, something you won't see pavlik do ever.I'm not saying he's the next coming or anything, but give him one or two more "contender" type fights and then put him in there with one of the big "dogs".
