Should've chased his belt. He'll probably fight the winner of Korobov's fight

I was disappointed in how Pirog's career played out (not his fault for the most part) but I hope dude can make a comeback.

Pirog was a good fighter, but let's remember that his best win was Danny Jacbos. Pirog is arguably less proven than Quillin. He's still a guy I'd like to see more of, though.

And yet Quillin won't go anywhere near him. Goes all Price is Right mode then fights Konecny

Very talented fight imo (see below). I don't think he's coming back from this injury though, boxing takes a lot of movement and heavy training.

PIROG in shape outboxe all middleweights out there but when you have a bad injury to the back like he had,well i have doubts he will recover!!!

[Southpawology]

How did he injure his back? boxing related or something else?

he was set to fight golovking....do the math. spinal!

[SN!PER]

Hope he recovers soon and gets a shot at his old title.

Really unfortunate what has happened with Pirog. Middleweight would have been better off these past few years with him healthy.

I like Pirog, seemed like a good fighter. If he does come back and fights Golovkin, one of those hooks is going to break his back even further, can't see it ending well.
