Dmitry Pirog vs. Danny Jacobs: thoughts and predictions?

[The Hammer]

Does anyone know how long until the weigh in?

They both made weight and both appear focused and well-prepared.

It will likely be a good fight.

[Frank Martin]

Both are undefeated prospects. I havent seen any Pirogs fight though.

Only seen small clips of Pirog...I've been following Danny for years...

Jacobs by UD...I just think he's faster and is more talented...

Haven't heard much of Pirog but at least it doesn't sound like he's a cab driver and is a decent or good fighter...

Danny didn't look very good against Ishe but its not easy to look good against Ishe...I thought Ishe almost beat Guerrero...

Is Pirog as crafty and awkward as Ishe? I doubt it...

Pirog has a very high workrate, and throws more punches than Jacobs.

I think Jacobs is a harder puncher though, although an accumulation of Pirog's precise shots have stopped 80% of his opponents.

That's not true at all. Jacobs throws damn near 100 punches per round. Pirog does throw a **** ton of punches but when he is facing a mover his punch output drops to like 60 I believe. It should be a fast paced bout. It's the one I am most looking forward to.

Its a fight for a belt so I'm sure its right before the main event...

Danny will most likely do what he does best...box

He's never been a real big puncher even in the amateurs...

Reallly? I'd say Jacobs best attribute is his power ans his record proves it. 20 wins 17 by KO. At 1 point he was 17 wins and 15 by KO.

Against subpar opposition...he may have average power but he aint a beast by any means IMO...

He boxed Ishe (a smaller man) and didn't rattle him once...

People I know who spar with him say he isn't a hard hitter but does everything well and is difficult to hit (of course its just sparring tho)

Pirog is way more skilled then Ishe and doesn't go those long instances where he isn't throwing punches, although Ishe looked really good against Guerrero. Expect Jacobs to be challenged here. Me, I'm not picking a winner. I've been very excited for this

You won't have to rate Danny after Saturday night, he'll be holding some hardware

I support New York fighters and Danny's cool (in person) so I'm rooting for him...
