Comments Thread For: Lara Challenges Pirog: I'll Whoop Your Ass in Russia!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Junior middleweight contender Erislandy Lara (15-1, 10KOs) has been reading the back and forth debate between the promotional teams behind middleweight champions Sergio Martinez and Dmitry Pirog. The Russian boxer's team made an offer of $3 million dollars to entice Martinez to travel across the ocean to Russia for a fight with Pirog. But Martinez and his management have zero interest in facing Pirog in Russia -especially without the involvement of American television.

YEESSSSS. This is a great a fight. Lara is the #1 ducked fighter of the world. If Pirog beats him, he'll definitely be in a position to make a Martinez fight happen.

Oh no you won't.

Pirog beats you in a one-sided UD.

But I like the moxie on Lara.
