Pirog is no joke. He's a good fighter, very awkward, moves his head well, had composure. This isn't a Prescott thing. He'll likely give a lot of guys trouble.
That said Jacobs really let him dictate the pace of the fight from the opening bell on, and he looked scared to commit to his punches too. Pirog's movement had something to do with that, but you have to make the guy respect you.
that might be true but you got to least let him try to get up and the ref didnt bro. danny look to have his wits at the count of 5. aint like its the 10 round and he been getting got pounded on then knockout. im feeling like nate campbell ova here "this is wrong !!!!!!!". he wasnt knockout like ricky hatton thats when you dont need no count
I don't really know why he did not finish the count but maybe jacobs' eyes weren't there. Like he was just staring into space and even though his body was trying to get up, his mind wasn't straight. He could have maybe gotten up but the ref might have thought he would have gotten hurt bad had he continued.
Anyone with a scorecard like that is retarded. Pirog or what ever his name is was winning the rounds.
Not necessarily at all. I had it 3-1 Jacobs. He landed a lot more and like it or not was winning the rounds, but not the fight. Go watch it again. Pirog got hit a fair bit but ignored it.
Dude, I liked him a lot. His style is nothing like Mayweather's and it's pretty much just like Augustus, he's just not as good a showboater. But he has the same awkward, shoulder-swinging head movement. I was paying him a compliment, I'm a big Augustus fan. But to say that this guy is world class is baloney - how do you think he would do against Paul Williams? Or Kelly Pavlik? Or the man the took that belt from, Sergio Martinez? He'd get stopped and fast.
He's already faced some world class competition and won. Never looked hurt or close to being stopped. None of those guys would stop and I think he could beat some of them.
His best opponent before Jacobs was Kofi Jantuah who was a fine top contender and had a number of title fights. No one dominated hm like Pirog did and that's saying something. Arthur Abraham couldn't, Kassim Ouma couldn't and he had beaten some really good fighters and champions. He's the only dude to have knocked out Daniel Santos when he was unbeaten. He was a top fighter. I think he's proven he wouldn't just fold under the best fighters pressure.
He has a major chance at beating all of those guys.
The ref should have allowed Jacobs to get up. He already had 3 out of 4 rounds in the bank on the official judges scorecards. The fight would've been tied tied if he could've survived the round.
Jacobs was doing a good job of outboxing him for the most part. He was wasting a lot of energy though and Pirog's pressure and defense was getting to him, he wasn't reacting well to it. I was saying during the fight that Jacobs should try to bank all the early rounds he can because he's gonna be worse for wear down the stretch.
Ref should've let the fight go on.
Where is Big Dude from the radio show? Danny Jacobs is the truth huh? I have to admit my ignorance in regards to Pirog's career, but he looks solid. The MW division could use him.
Man, Jacob was toast..Pirog would have killed him had the fight continued....people should have done some research on dude before the fight...he is legit and his style is nice..switch hitter in an instant...very unique...!
that might be true but you got to least let him try to get up and the ref didnt bro. danny look to have his wits at the count of 5. aint like its the 10 round and he been getting got pounded on then knockout. im feeling like nate campbell ova here "this is wrong !!!!!!!". he wasnt knockout like ricky hatton thats when you dont need no count
Pirog made a big statement tonight! Great stuff...
Now you got at 160lbs...
Sergio Martinez
Paul Williams
Kelly Pavlik
Felix Sturm
Dmitry Pirog
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr
Middleweight is looking interesting once again...
The name in bold is the only one that'll be willing to get in the ring with him.
Pirog most likely would have really hurt Danny had it continued but I think the ref could have let him continue him with his 0 and a belt on the line...just courtesy...
I've never seen a ref shove a fighter back down tho...wtf
I don't understand the hate on Danny, he's a stand up guy...he isn't some thug or tries to portray that image...
I agree, i had pirog up 3-1 at the time. i was ( and still am) sold on jacobs but he could not figure out pirog. pirog style was weird, real quircky almost. im real impressed with him. lets hope he gets some good ops in the future with some of the big names.
Blow me, dude. Pirog was winning the overall fight, I would say. He was controlling the pace of the fight and had the advantage overall, but round-by-round, I thought Jacobs was doing enough to edge some of them out. I would point to the Clottey-Cotto fight for a similar sort of scoring example. Clottey clearly got the upper hand, but Cotto edged out the round-by-round tally.
Hmmm...watching that...they should have let Jacobs get on his feet...sometimes they are TOO cautious...at least complete the 10 count and see if his legs are shot...:nonono:

I saw some fights of Pirog and knew dude was no joke...he served jacobs up on a platter. Watch, he'll get locked up with GBP within a few months....Jacobs gets dropped. Dude is the truth..not a stereotypical European fighter but more of an American slickster with an occasional southpaw punch mixed in with an orthodox stance...hard to figure out.
**** that protest it that dont look right to me. how u gone start counting then when he try to get up, u push him down and stop the count. mofo didnt even get a good look at him. fu#ck this is my biggest fight bit*ch give me a chance. lol im piss ova here i feel it
