Can He beat Jacobs?

Underrated, I'm surprised that he isn't all that hyped. He has the style that I most like to watch, and he actually turns his opponents with his movement and puts them at an uncomfortable angle. He's also very precise with his body punching, and his defense is top notch. He'll also use a very little precentage of his power, then when his opponents open up he explodes. He's unique, so I don't know what comparisons I can make. But he does remind me of Aaron Pryor in how he positions himself when his opponents are cornered. He's also good at ripping uppercuts on the inside.


Can he beat Jacobs? Of course. But we have to factor in that Jacobs is the bigger and better athlete. It's gonna be tough, but I'll be rooting for Pirog.

He is a slight favorite in my opinion. Jacobs is bigger and more powerful. But Pirog can fight, he developed very well. This might just be his coming out party.
