Pirog vs. Maciel, Glazkov vs. Bahktov RBR & discussion thread

[mathed]

Dimitry looked like ass? Damn. I knew he took to long off.

I'll put it this way- If Martinez had fought this version of Pirog, then it'd be another Williams like KO in 2 or 3 rds tops.

I know I've had to see this Garcia dude before (I've dvd'd like every live boxing event either on HBO, Showtime, and ESPN2 for the past 4 years)

Sometimes the names become a blur to me, especially the Hispanic fighters because so many have similar last names. Is his fight going to be televised tonight as the undercard?

Yes Garcia-Remillard is televised, and Nick Charles will be guest commentating that fight.

Garcia's last fight against Lontchi was on the Top Rank PPV undercard of Donaire-Sydorenko and Soto-Antillon. Before that he was on a Top Rank Live undercard against Cornelius Lock.

No sorry. If he thought if he had a bad performance he would get a fight with Sergio, he's insane. Sergio isn't Pacquiao.

Sergio even said that Pirog was on a level below him, and I agree with him 100%. How can anyone claim Sergio is ducking that man after that performance he just had?

Yet he'll fight Manfredo, Zbik, Chavez, Kirkland, etc. Yeah they're top fighters alright.

Pirog isn't as easy to hit as PW or Dzyna and he isn't a Jr MW... How did Martinez's power do against the 1 MW he fought?

I wish more people were involved in fights other than PAC vs PBF, Bantam, superBantam, and featherweight divisions are on fire right now.

I'm always telling them about great upcoming fights but it's always the same thing: "who? I've never heard of him, he must be a bum" They'd rather go play golf and poker (which is fun from time to time) instead of chilling and getting hyped up over a great, competitive boxing match.

It's funny too because I'm always the one working out and running and stuff and they are always complaining about being fat and how they need to lose weight. I tell them, they need to watch boxing and look up some boxing training techniques and get out of the poker chairs and golf carts and melt that flab away like a boxer does before a match, lol.

The best PPV of 2010, hands down. I think JuanMa is gonna be scouting again tonight in AC.

I seriously doubt Martinez is ducking Pirog if he is calling out the perceived best guys in boxing.

I'm not saying Pirog is easy to hit but he did not look really impressive today.

Pavlk was a GIANT compared to Martinez and outweighed him by 11 pounds on fight night.

Williams was also at 160 long before Martinez made the jump up from 154 on 3 weeks notice too.

My only question is why hasn't HBO put Pirog back on their station or Showtime for that matter, since the Jacobs fight?

Ahhh, got you , I did see the fight. I knew the name was really familiar and there was some big hype behind him (not calling him a hype job just saying that he is creating a buzz). I hope his fight will be aired tonight...

[Walt Liquor]

I'm hoping Garcia looks super impressive tonight, i want to see him and Gamboa this year.

How pumped are you today. I'm jealous. Who else is on the card?
