Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez-Dmitry Pirog To Be Explored For October?

[patpatpts]

Wow! It's funny that I mentioned that I would like to see that fight in the last thread about Pirog!!! Here's what I put---->I really like the way Prioq fights!! He knocked Jacobs into Kingdom Come!!! No matter what Jacobs says, he was not in any condition to continue!!!! I would like to see Piroq against Martinez or Williams...

we would never know cause of the ref it was not a pac/hatton knockout. he was ready to attempt to stand up the 5 count

make this fight now. theres no sense in waiting, both of them are in their thirties and i think Pirog showed that he's worldclass. it would be a great great fight i think

damn i thought he was kid. i was going to say wait a fight or 2 but **** it. both in their 30s and martinaz in his mid 30 might fall anytime now with his style.

Why would Martinez choose to fight a dangerous no-name opponent when he could be about to make career high paydays? Makes little sense business-wise...

I was as excited about Pirog as anyone else last night, but let's not forget Jacobs was 3-1 up in the cards (rightfully, I think) and Martinez is a whole other caliber. I am pretty sure Martinez would win this matchup.

I think people are getting a little carried away with Pirog. OK, that KO was a only a matter of time but he was still 3-1 down against a prospect who looked, and fought, like someone way in over their head.

The way Lampley was drooling over the head movement you'd think you had Duran or Whitaker in there. (Lampley was just appalling all night, right from the disowning of Linares before his fight).

Hopefully Pirog is the real deal, as the MW division could really do with more talent. But Martinez didn't crumble under the pressure of Williams and Pavlik, I don't think he's gonna ****ting himself at the thought of Pirog.

First round was too close to call, but it didn't look to me like Jacobs landed a single clean punch. Second round Pirog worked him over and was robbed of a knockdown where Jacobs had to literally hold on to Pirog's legs to keep from hitting the canvas. Third round Jacobs came back strong, clear win for him. Fourth round Pirog landed the only meaningful punch, could go either way.

So Pirog should've been up a point or down a point depending on whether or not you gave Jacobs both close rounds. Which is meaningless of course, since Jacobs got KTFO.


Nevertheless, I think Pirog is a bit green for Martinez, though Sergio isn't getting any younger, so if this fight happens a year or two down the road, who knows?

You nailed it, man.

Would be a nice fight. Although PWill got the nod over Sergio in their first fight Pwills team wants no parts of Martinez. Shame too cause I think Pwill wouldn't mind fighting Martinez again. Expect Pwill to leave Al Haymon when his contract is up.

Are you crazy? No one leaves Al Haymon. He's one of the most powerful men in the sport, and he maximizes fighters visibility and value.

martinez would spark his ass out...

Martinez will duck him JUST like he ducked Dzinziruk.

Martinez will duck him JUST like he ducked Dzinziruk.

Paul Williams is ducking the whole 154 and 160 lb divisions right now.
