Dmitry Pirog status...Still alive

Wow, he tweets once every year about returning. I think he must be re-injuring his back when he tweets.

Re injured his back in training for the GGG fight.
Remember Golovkin was supposed to make his HBO debut vs Pirog as a late replacement for Geale.

Indeed a shame, Pirog was a great champion and a great fighter who would have been anyones strongest win if they had him on their resume.

Do yo you remember Maskaev-Rahman II? Maskaev was almost done by this point. Washed-up and many KO losses. Rahman thought that it would be cool to avenge his loss... Didn't exactly worked out this way. He was KOd AGAIN ))))) Sometimes fighter just has your number...

GGG schooled Jacobs, Pirog destroyed Jacobs, It's very unfortunate that we never got Pirog Vs. GGG when It was slated to happen, both fighters much better than Jacobs tbh.
