Golovkin vs Pirog will fight 8/15

Wow alotta good fights still despite all the cancellations.MW will be in alot better shape after the 3 upcoming fights

danrafaelespn Dan Rafael Just spoke to Art Pelullo of @BannerBoxing and he said Pirog-Golovkin was officially signed tonight. Fight is Aug. 25 on @HBOboxing. ........................

Great news! On one hand I hate to see two of my favorite middleweights fight each other so soon when they could get rid of the paper champs first but on the other hand it's gonna be a great fight, winner is #2 behind Martinez. I think Pirog takes it. And Geale has a good shot at beating Sturm if he requests neutral officials.

Not to complain, but why is this in the US and why is Gary Shaw promoting this? Only Europeans and hard core US fans would give a **** about this fight.

omg boxrec says its in the us??????????? im hoping ac ,ct , or ny woooo

Finally those guys have a fight that the winner will have more credibility

Pirog sucks slow plodding bum waiting for his eventual ass whooping. He's not worldbeater like Shumenov, that for sure

Excellent need. Gg is finally getting the big fight he deserves. Im looking for a place to put money down cuz gg got this

Great stuff if this fight gets signed and delivered.Lee-Chavez,Sturm-Geale and now GGG-Pirog the mw is really starting to heat up

Hopefully this goes off without a hitch.

why would they make this fight ...both these guys can come here a whoop any american at 160 then build up a fight with eachother what american 160?

middleweight supremacy...lets do it 4 some reason i like this match-up and i like sturm n geale as well......awesome....the winner of pirog n gol should definitely fight the winner of geale vs sturm......then it a come down 2 martinez vs 1 of these 4...chavez gettin knock out

Pirog vs Golovkin has the potential to create big fireworks. As a fight, I think it's better than Pirog vs Geale or Golovkin vs Sturm.

I'd totally bet real money on this fight

Pirog sucks slow plodding bum waiting for his eventual ass whooping. C'mon, Mark. Pirog has the same stance as someone like Broner (I can't remember what they call the style) and uses the shoulder roll effectively and is a pressure fighter. His style is the direct opposite of a typical East European boxer and that's what make him fun to watch. I think Pirog's inactivity made him look 'ordinary' against Ishida but hopefully he'll be better prepared for Golovkin.

Pirog-Geale Out... Pirog vs. Golovkin In? danrafaelespn Dan Rafael I'm told Dmitry Pirog meets Gennady Golovkin 8/25 on @HBOboxing sted of Daniel Geale, who's instead going to Germany to face Felix Sturm 9/1 Source - Twitter - danrafaelespn This situation turned for the better... Pirog-Golovkin is the more intriguing fight; a clear challenger for Martinez will arise from the fight. Sturm wanted no parts of Golovkin, but Geale is no pushover either. There's going to be 2 unified beltholders at middleweight. The corrupt WBA's going to be in the same situation they were at featherweight with Gamboa and Chris John; they won't mind having 2 Super titlists in the same division then getting another Regular titlist in the mix and perhaps an interim titlist for good measure. This is going to really clear up 160.

Second half of the year is shaping up to be amazing.
