Comments Thread For: Pirog vs Ishida Live Results From Moscow, Russia

[S H A R K B O Y]

Ishida is one tough warrior. From what I have seen, Ishida has a very high workrate and a proper chin. What he didn't display in the Williams and Pirog fight was landing those punches.

Pirog always settles with what is to land, when he feels his opponent is teak tough. Therefore he sticks to chess match tactics by trying to land as many as he can. That's what he did. For the fans of knockouts this was upsetting, but Pirog always rises to the occation. Jacobs was mobile and here he tried other ways to reach his goal.

Before the Jacobs fight I had many post replies with users at ********boxing saying Pirog is too flatfooted or too slow. In the Jacobs fight speed, timing and defense made the difference.

I don't say Pirog will beat Martinez, but his adaptability and skill level, timing, defense, make him a very awkward and tough opponent for Martinez. Hence DiBella is not really looking to the prospect of having his fighter put in with a wildcard.

I still think that Pirog has the tools to beat Martinez in a very tough fight.

First I hope for the unifiction and exposure on US soil.

I guess the new vanilla is "rise to the occassion", because I've been reading it in every Pirog thread so far and to me that just seems like an excuse and a cop out.

Pirog isn't as a big star as everyone says he is, because that arena he was in was straight up a ghost town. Dibella doesn't want the fight because he brings nothing to the table but risk. Let Lara go to Russia and knock out Pirog, seems about right after his performance to night versus Ishida.

To be fair, a lot of Pirog's hype comes from someone trying to find someone to challenge Sergio. Can't hate him for that.

He took care of business at the end of the day so props. Still, I'd favor Martinez heavily versus him. He just doesn't fit in to Martinez's plans.

Pirog has time, should work on his game and put in work instead of throwing yourself into a clear losing battle.

Still holding out hope for him.

These bold printed lines seem to contradict. Either he can't rise to the occassion or he is a risk?

Either way, he is the WBO titleholder, unbeaten and therefore a legitimite opponent. After the Chavez jr fight and Pirog Gaele unification in August there should be Martinez vs Pirog.
