Dimitry Pirog vs David Lemieux

[boxingbantz]

This is the one fight I hope for in 2011.

It would be a war.

Two absolute beasts.

Who wins?

One of a host of fights that we can only hope for I think

[CFH]

Pirog. He's more proven.

[Taeth]

Depending on his chin and defense at the top level, I think David wins, I think he is much stronger technically, and has more power. He really gets snap into his punches.

[Nameless]

that would be a good fight. Personally, I believe Lemieux could make it but Pirog is to be taken quite seriously.

I echo that man, definitiely. Would love to see these two go at it. What a fight it could be. I say Pirog knocks Lemiuex out cold.

I think it be a case of to much to soon, I mean yeah they both done had about the same amount of fights, but isn't lemieux only 21, pirog's like 30. Pirog seems to have a more akward style, but lemiux just seems like he has concusive power, at the moment I'd lean towards pirog tho.

[The Rocket]

All-in on Lemieux's, he's no joke.

[Rantcatrat]

I'd rather see Pirog face Martinez or Sturm and Lemieux face another prospect or two before fighting at that level.

How about Lemiuex facing Rubio than maybe a Ishe Smith type fighter?

The WBC already ordered a fight between Lemieux and Rubio for the title eliminator. It should happen in 2011.

That'll be a good gauge of where he is in his development. Should he dominate Rubio like Pavlik did, well then, he is ready to take the step up.

[Eloking]

If that fight goes the way I think it'll go, I'm pretty sure the result of this poll would be quite different if we start it over after that fight .

Edit : Oh damn, just remembered the actual WBC champ is Martinez.

[El Kabong]

I say Lemieux because he'll know a bit about Pirog and he's got a style where he can outbox him.

I see Pirog a bit like Mercer after beating Tommy Morrison, he seems indestructible but surely he can't live up to all this hype after a pretty decent layoff.

[No Contest]

Two slightly tested prospects who are on the come up, fighting each other? This is boxing not MMA, quit dreaming.

[Spicoli]

Lemieux more polished, traditional style...Pirog an awkward puncher and can box a bit. Cant miss for the fans and a loss here in somewhat early development (and known factor) isnt the end at all for defeated. I'll take Pirog.
