Peter Quillin vs. Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam

There was a multi-page thread on this yesterday. It's a disgrace these two are fighting for the full WBO belt.

 

Pirog, would **** on Quillen.

 

Had Wright been a few years younger he would have taken Quillin to school. Quillin is an expose job waiting to happen.

 

How the hell did that happen anyway? :blood

 

The WBO said they'd do it if Pirog fought Golovkin, then they just decided to go through with it anyway after that fight fell through.

 

NJikam lobbied really hard for it:

It's funny how eager he was to step in with this champ who had a bigger fight booked, but just dropped another interim belt when they made him fight their regular champ.

 

Funny thing is when they first issued the Interm belt for the N'jikam vs Bursak fight it was illegitimate and for no reason at all. N'jikam backed out of the Pirog fight when Pirog was wanting to fight him and was rewarded for his ducking with a Interm belt before Pirog's mandatory due date had even expired.

Now when Pirog is legit injured they strip him even though this is the exact scenario which warre.nts a Interm belt being issued. Pirog's mandatory due date according to what the WBO said at the time of the N'jikam vs Bursak fight should be Sept 4th. Pirog would be ready to fight in Oct or Nov yet they strip him early as soon as the N'jikam and Quillin talks began.

Also ironic that the WBA has allowed Sturm to avoid fighting his mandatory Golovkin (yet again) due to unification with Geale while the WBO was ready to strip Pirog when he was trying to unify against Geale, then Golovkin (who was available because Sturm was allowed to unify)

 

Those alphabet orgs have no shame and no self respect :-(

 

How does N'Jikam even figure he tried twice? I thought the one set of actual negotiations took place at the end of last year and involved Pirog requesting the fight be pushed back a couple of weeks, N'Jikam refusing because he wanted to keep the date, and then N'Jikam pushing his own date back to after Pirog's fight anyway.

It also sounds like he won't necessarily even have to fight Quillin and can basically do whatever he wants with the belt now.

 

This was how I recalled those events as well. One thing I will note is that Pelullo said at the Golovkin-Proksa press conference that Pirog won't be ready to fight again until the first quarter of 2013. Still doesn't justify what has happened at all and still doesn't warrant removing Pirog from the rankings altogether.

 

Damn his injury must have been bad. Doesn't matter how long he is out for this is the one situation where a Interm belt is actually justified. A Interm belt should never have been issued for N'jikam/Bursak.

If they followed their own rules then N'jikam vs Quillin should be for the WBO Interm belt since the Champion is injured and can't defend with the winner fighting Pirog as soon as he is healthy. A Interm belt is nothing more than a promissory note indicating that you're guarenteed a title shot against the Champion once they're healthy.

N'jikam clearly doesn't understand this concept since he also had the WBA Interm belt, avoided fighting the Champion Golovkin and when the "oppertunity" to fight for the real Championship was forced upon him by the WBA he gave up the WBA Interm belt rather than fight Golovkin. He's now done virtually the same thing in the WBO except he's accomplished the coup successfully this time becoming a "Champion" without having to fight one. Guy is a ****ing disgrace.

 

The 2 "ducks":

1. Immediately after getting stripped of his WBA interim belt for purse bid no show vs regular champ GG in February, NJikam, with 0 WBO sanctioned fights, offers a fight to Pirog for April in Equatorial Guinea. Pirog passes with injury,says he'll be ready for NJikam or mandatory (whoever is appointed) May 1. NJikam can't wait, has stadium booked in Eq Guinea, gets it sanctioned for WBO interim (due to Pirog duck?). Pirog fights Ishida May 1, NJikam wins interim belt three days later in France

2. Knowing full well Pirog has an Aug date on HBO, NJikam insists on an immediate shot at the champ. Pirog goes with the HBO date, until injury.

What's really weird though is Pirog has completely been removed from their ratings?!

 

He'll redeem himself a bit if he goes through with this Quillin bout, I'm surprised he'd be taking that risk having worked so hard to get a full belt. But over on the scene he's saying not so fast, not a done deal. It'd be funny if Quillin was only his leverage to get Pirog stripped.

 

I got to admit if after getting Pirog stripped using the Quillin fight as leverage he backs out of that fight too i will be ****ing amused. Arguably the most disgraceful cowardly **** i'v ever witnessed in boxing but ****ing funny.

 

His promoters are just so brilliant, it's too bad they're stuck in that boxing backwater.

He's also a pretty good fighter, maybe a little chinny but talented all around. I'd love to see him vs Quillin or Pirog.
