Will Pirog ever return?

Had a series of horrendous injuries, probably wouldn't be the same fighter if he came back.

Maciel took his soul:boxing:

I'll never forget Pirog's destruction of Jacobs. The whole world was high on Jacobs before the original Triple G annihilated him.

Yeah, a shame. I don't think he fought healthy again post Jacobs. That back was always bothering him. He really threw it out of wack while training for the Golovkin fight. I think a healthy Pirog would have beaten Golvokin.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEwZweDnRPI Rewatched Pirog v Jacobs. Do you think this guy could have beaten Genedy golovkin? He was so slick, very exciting style. Will he ever come back? Healthy Pirog is the only guy at 160 who would have a chance to beat GGG. Don't think we will ever see healthy Pirog again.

thanks for the link man! i definitely think pirog could have beaten golovkin. I think he had a chance to beat Golovkin as well. He was still honing his defense though. He made Jacobs miss a lot, but Jacobs also landed enough to win rounds. I thought Jacobs took the first, third, and fourth. I thought Pirog was still feeling him out a bit to see what he had. I know that hard low blow seemed to light a fire though. Pirog took him out immediately after.

Always thought he was going to be the next big thing & the Jacob performance confirmed it. Shame about the back injury

no he will not return. he broke his back....spinal Lmfaoooooo.

thanks for the link man! i definitely think pirog could have beaten golovkin. They were reportedly set to fight each other at that moment, but Pirog retired due to his back injury. He's in promoting or something.

I wish he did, then jump into the ring right now and do something good

Pirog was a all around fighter!! Power and Skills :boxing:

no he will not return. he broke his back....spinal :lol1: :lol1:

Every so often there's a report or rumor that he's coming back, but, nothing's ever come to fruition. It would be kina cool to see him back and perhaps rematch Jacobs Jesus man, cancer and pirog x2? Must not like the guy lol. But ya Pirog was a talent and had a very interesting style. Best of both worlds.

So unfortunate that kind of talent had to be plagued with that back injury. Who knows what he could have done.

no he will not return. he broke his back....spinal

I really wish we could have seen what his career would have looked like...awesome style

Went into hiding after Lara called him out. Hasn't been seen since.

Nope. Had a bad back injury and retired. What could have been though...
