Lara Challenges Pirog: I'll Whoop Your Ass in Russia!
Junior middleweight contender Erislandy Lara (15-1, 10KOs) has been reading the back and forth debate between the promotional teams behind middleweight champions Sergio Martinez and Dmitry Pirog. The Russian boxer's team made an offer of $3 million dollars to entice Martinez to travel across the ocean to Russia for a fight with Pirog. But Martinez and his management have zero interest in facing Pirog in Russia -especially without the involvement of American television.
