" Shock of the year " Same scale as Andy Lee and Amir Khan wtf?? Khan and Lee were around 1/25 on to win there fights they were shocks, Jacobs was generally a 4/6 favourite basically 50/50 fight.
Pirog was a 3-1 underdog from what I saw and most every american boxing analyst picked Jacobs to win.

Why didn't HBO interview Pirog after the fight? Was it me or was that weird? He had just derailed a major middleweight prospect and no interview?

Pirog has a fan friendly style. From what I've seen of Sylvester, Pirog beats him. He looked very fliud and relaxed considering this was his first fight in the US and his first fight on a big stage. He was boxing like he knew he was going to win from round 1.

How about Pirog v. Pavlik? Actually, I'm sure Kelly wants nothing to do with Pirog. I bet Sergio beats him at this point, but its a good fight either way. I'm not sure a loss to Sergio would drop Pirog's stock too much anyway and it would be another big pay day in the US and a win propels him into p4p territory. Plus its a unification bout.
