Pirog is a beast!!

[ElTerribleMorales]

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 think Martinez beats Pirog like a gong if they ever fight. At actual world level Pirog has lots of power but nothing else. He makes Pavlik look like SRR.

His style is nothing like Pavlik's. Not saying he is better or worse, but his style is completely different. And he wasn't even known for his power as someone else mentioned (which makes you question Danny's chin), if anything he was known for his defense, something we all know, Pavlik doesn't have. He definitely is NOT the stereotypical European fighter. He bends and moves much more than the average.

Kirkland - check the following videos, I think you'll see he fights a lot more in the steroetypical American style if anything. His movement is like a poor man's PBF.

Give over. As if you knew Pirog was world level before the fight...

He's 30 year old, fighting outside of Europe for the first time. He beat a prospect who was facing his first major test. Let's see where Pirog goes from here. I'm pretty sure there was a 'Prescott is a beast' thread after he beat Khan

....I think if you put Pirog in vs Sebastian Sylvester you'd have to make Pirog a favorite

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.

OK, well I do agree that his nickname is a poor choice, also he's a Golden Boy fighter so it's "The Golden Child" fighting for Golden Boy.....that's too much gold and too many kids

jacobs is a pretty decent fighter that has had a goodish careers so far

but pirog was different gravy, expecting big things from this guy

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.
