Comments Thread For: Pirog Reflects on Maciel Win, Responds to Sergio Martinez

[LeadUppercut]

Make the fight happen already, I'm eager to see who is next up for the scared haters to propose as the guy Martinez is ducking so that way my boy can put him away too. It's so funny reading comments about Martinez "picking on smaller guys".....you should probably look up the actual stats about his opponents.....at any weight Martinez has fought, he has been the smaller guy 95% of the time...his entire career. Haters don't need facts as they operate on fear alone.

Actually, ***it..... why am I attempting to stick up for Pirog when his Team keep asking to walk the gauntlet?

Feed the kid to Martinez then, but no crying afterwards

And, after that fight, any genius who suddenly comes to the conclusion that Dimitry may not have ready for Sergio..... can give themselves an uppercut.

martinez made a right to decision which is to duck pirog.

I know, the dude has promise but is not a draw and is green, Martinez would eat him alive. After that it would be Martinez is ducking Kirkland and after that it would be Martinez is ducking the winner of the super 6 or he is ducking Hopkins. Same story with most successful boxers I guess though.

Pac and Floyd are ducking Martinez as well....

Pirog needs to drastically upgrade his resume if he wants a shot at the middleweight champ of the world.

Why doesn't he fight Golovkin to prove himself?

none of those guys are even in martinez's division. why doesn't he fight the top guys in his division like pirog? he only fought dzinziruk because he was a huge draw right?

yeah maybe if he gets killed by calzaghe and sakio bika not to mention struggles with c level fighters like daniel eduard he will land the fight.

No neEd to comment in here. Lead uppercut is handling business. And I'm a pirog fan.

War lead uppercut.

Manfredo is an easy fight that Martinez has earned for himself.

[daggum]

When I made the comment above, I did not infer that I think Manfredo is "ready for a fight with Martinez" in the sense that he will win the fight, or even be competitive..... just that he is experienced enough to know what he is getting himself into.

He clearly does not have the potential that Pirog has, and a beatdown (payday) from Martinez, will not stonewall his "career".

It is a money fight for Manfredo, and for Sergio, and nothing more.

But Pirog is not ready for a shot at Martinez, and is too good to be selling out for a payday this early, like Manfredo is.

you admit it's a blatant mismatch and that it's only happening to make money off gullible fans and you are ok with this? why does it matter if pirog is "ready" right now or not. are you his dad or something? who cares if pirog loses the fight that's not the point. we aren't trying to find someone who will beat martinez. we are trying to watch the best possible fights in the middleweight division. if pirog loses then bring on the next best opponent like sturm, golovkin, or lemieux. boxers have enough easy fights coming up the ranks they don't need more once they reach hbo championship level.
