Pirog is a beast!!

[TitoFan]

He didn't look like any of the previous Russian fighters I'VE ever seen.
I was truly impressed with his movement and poise, especially considering it was his first fight in the Mecca of boxing.

[Dark Lord Al]

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 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.

[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.

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

Just re watching the HBO feed for the fight, and the commentator team is quite ignorant, don't seem like they do there homework the way they reacted to that finish was as if it was same scale as Tyson/Douglas??

" 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.

[El Kabong]

A fight vs Sylvester is a unification bout if I'm not mistaken and it would futher increase his stock in Europe.

I'm not sure what fight would be big in America for him....although I would LOVE for him to starch Sergio Mora!

Oddschecker.com lists all the online bookmakers over here, and Jacobs was generally 4/6 ,8/13 ,4/7/ Pigog 11/10 6/4, now i never saw 3/1 and if I saw any price similar to that I would of thought it was Christmas.

The gambler dude on youtube black fella with that tash had Pirog and quite a few others I read, not that I don't believe you but 3 -/1 Where was this?

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

[boxingbantz]

I had £20 double on Jacobs to win by TKO and JMM to win.

I knew from the first round that Jacobs was never going to win the fight, you could just tell by his body language that even he knew it was gonna be difficult. What confirmed it for me was when Jacobs hit him and Pirog just laughed. I knew, from that moment on, my bet was buggered.
