Comments Thread For: Dmitry Pirog's Return Delayed Until The End of Summer

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former middleweight world title holder Dmitry Pirog suffered another back injury last month and his ring return has been delayed until possibly the end of the summer, promoter Art Pelullo told Boxingscene.com earlier this week.

According to Pelullo, the undefeated Pirog injured himself last month during training, postponing a fight he was scheduled to fight in for this month.

It is not the first time Pirog has had back injuries in his career. Pirog (20-0, 15 KOs) was scheduled to fight on an HBO-televised card in late August, but had to withdraw from the fight because of a ruptured disc he suffered while training.

Pirog is just wasting away his prime years. He really didn't take advantage of the momentum he had after upsetting Jacobs. It's a shame because he's a threat to most of the top guys at 160.

I wish him well but he may want to think about retirement at this point. He should go to a surgeon and have a operation to fix it properly.
