DiBella - "**** Dmitry Pirog"

[IMDAZED]

Its two things that give Floyd advantages. One Martinez keeps his hands low and Mayweather can make him pay for that. Two Martinez still gets hit by much slower fighters. If Floyd gets off first its gonna be trouble.

Floyd will have a problem getting off first because Martinez is active and likes to get off first himself. Floyd is not as prone to firing first although he's adept at it. Martinez is simply better in that department. Martinez does keep his hands low and he will get hit by Floyd but he's quick enough, skilled enough and intelligent enough to hit Floyd back. And he's powerful enough to make it count.

[IMDAZED]

Floyd has a chance of winning, but only if he fights the best fight of his entire life.

Pac has about 5-10% chance, i think one left from sergio and he will literally fly across the ring.

Cotto has literally 0% chance of winning. His face will get busted up and he will quit on his stool, and im a fan of all three guys also.

Margarito will absorb alot of hit for maybe 6 rounds and then the ref will stop the fight.

I agree with pretty much everything you wrote.

What was Dibella referring to when he said "they stole the belt from us"?...

Martinez was stripped and Jacobs-Pirog was for the vacant belt

Thanks. Also, it seems like Lou's accusing Pirog of stripping Martinez of the title when it was obviously the decision of the IBF. Pirog just stepped in and fought for the interim title like any other contender would do in his position...

Rah Rah cheerleader. What do you have to add?

Indeed he is. Lou is as smart as his Jersey Shore bretheren.

He's right about Pirog not being a big name or having done much.

A lot of people are assuming that the reason they won't fight him is because he's a big threat, without a big enough reward. However, he has faced Jacobs and that's it. We dont' really know how good he actually is.

He looked great against Jacobs, but Jacobs isn't Martinez.

[KJB]

He's right though. Pirog is very good but what has he done since beating Jacobs. That was Sergio's belt that they stripped from him anyway. Martinez vs Lemieux in about a year would be fun to watch.

Martinez cant wait around for a year hoping Lemieux turns out to be good enough.
Hopefully HBO changes Dibella's mind about Pirog. Martinez really needs that fight.

I want him to prove that he can beat fighters other than 20 year old children. Pirog needs to fight Sturm, Lee, Slyvester, even Manfredo would be much better than beating up on dudes 10 years younger than yourself. Beat 1 or 2 of those guys and prove you are a legit contender then you can fight Sergio. Till that happens Pirog is unproven and strictly hype. His best win is beating a 20 year old boy.

Pirog beat Tateovosyan before Froch or Bute fought him. Tatevosyan was a 30 fight pro and Russian MW Champ and Pirog beat him in his 4th pro fight.

His win over Toygonbayev is better than a Manfredo win

his Mitchel win is on par with a Manfredo win.

His wins over Jantuah and Jacobs is better than a Lee win would be.

Fact is he's done more than Martinez ever did before his fight with Cintron and he is a worthy challenger on accomplishment and is more than worthy in terms of his talent and the style matchup.

They're open to fighting Lee or Chavez but neither of them are on par with Pirog's accomplishments, forget about skill level
