    We have big chance to see upset here, going pro was bad idea for Glazkov, he is not made for it, weak punch and lack of stamina. He would be outboxing Bakhtov, but Bahtov may knock him out in late rounds.

    I see Pirog taking this fairly easily

    Dan Rafael just confirmed via Twitter that Glazkov vs. Bakhtov is part of the scheduled broadcast on ESPN3. :good Coverage actually begins at 11:45am EST (probably with some build-up, and the first actual fight at 12pm).

    Workout videos for the three eastern European participants in the two big matches:

    warning: gay music! (apparently that's how they roll to get pumped north of the Caucasus :conf)

    Maciel isn't a worthy opponent for Pirog. Dmitry should go to America and fight Sergio Martinez, who has a similar style to Danny Jacobs.

    Either of those guys? :huh

    I'm struggling to figure out which two guys you mean.

    Pirog, OK. He's a headache waiting to happen for Martinez, and it already seems like he's reluctant to take that risk for the reward.

    Pirog and...which other guy? Maciel? Jacobs?

    The idea of Martinez explicitly avoiding either is pretty laughable...unless you just meant that neither has a chance of becoming a big enough name to earn a shot at him during his able-bodied years.

    That is just for Europeans. (or others who for whatever reason are not eligible & equipped to view ESPN3).

    Most American posters - and some Canadians - are able to view the show for free on ESPN3.com starting at 12pm EST. :good

    Nice to see Pirog back in the ring again. Hopefully, after this, he moves on to another big fight. I don't think he'll get Martinez quite yet but if he stays busy against the best fighters he can get he'll keep the pressure on Martinez to eventually face him.

    Thanks, for the heads up IB. Had no clue Pirog was fighting let alone on a free broadcast.

    Glazkov is a hell of a lot more promising than Wilder and Price...
