It looks like Dmitry Pirog has pulled out the fight with Gennady Golovkin on Aug 25th, Im told HBO will go ahead with that card...

Golovkin will stay on the show and HBO wants to take care of it's obligation to Sergiy Dzinziruk #boxing

I dunno..but something doesnt seem right. Bit fishy. The ol back injury...might be just me but im smelling some bs here. They still didnt have a venue for the fight too. The whole thing just sounded " wrong"??
It was the fight i was looking fwd to the most. I was thinking pirog could win quite easy, as long as he didnt get caught with a bomb.
There's zero chance Manny lets Lee get in the ring with Golovkin anyway ppl must not like Andy or something bcse that fight ends badly very badly for the Irishman
Quillen is the only plausible option for a main event HBO slot
Dan Rafael says Pirog pulled out due to injury.
Well ****.
Isn't Sergio Mora rematching Vera this weekend? Give him a call. :rofl:
Personally, I'd be down to see him fight George Groves or Andy Lee.
Redemption fight for Andy Lee? Didn't Golovkin beat Andy Lee in the amateurs? He could place himself in a mandatory position for the Sturm-Geale for whatever that's worth.
I like that fight, a lot actually..but seems pretty soon after a drawn out TKO.

They should get Murray.
He still probably has visa issues.
Macklin can cancel his fight against Alcine, but I doubt he'll want to fight in a small casino venue seeing how he's probably an okay draw now and New York is fully booked.
Decubas claimed Lara tried to get Golovkin, but he probably won't take it over the WBC eliminator now.
Kid Chocolate should take it, but I don't think he will.

Damn it. Pirog-Golovkin would've been a good action fight however long it lasted. At least we'll get a look at Gennady Golovkin, but 2012 sucks for boxing to this point.
