*** Dmitry Pirog vs. Javier Maciel RBR - live on ESPN3.com ***

In 4 hours I guess but now I need a nap.

 

Good scorecards all round. Surprisingly reasonable.

How many hours until Kennedy vs Diaz?

 

It's frustrating, because part of you says if Maciel (or Ishe) just turned it up a notch they could win some of these fights outright.. but on the other hand.. if they fought that way their flaws would be apparent and they'd probably get KTFO.

 

Pirog didnt dazzle but he won the kind of look ugly tonite and move on tomorrow fights

this guy didnt give him many openings and threw back

i think in the 8th or 9th he won and hit pirog with some hard looking punches

I think Sturm would be a nightmare for Pirog

Sylvester would be tough but Pirog wins

Martinez its hard to tell

 

Pirog is beatable but also a teak tough warrior with great stamina in the later rounds.
If you drink 25 beers a day for years it will have an affect on your condition even if you are clean for months.
Pirog would bring it in the rounds 8-12 and Pavlik wouldn't be able to take it.

 

Off topic, Teon Kennedy is one exciting fighter to watch, real phily fighter who gives you your moneys worth

 

I thought Priog showed well.
In the last 2 rounds he was coming forward. During the fight his defense and offense was there. His opponent did well to with better defense than offense.
Now lets hope Pirog's people get up and do something
soon and not wait so long again.

 

I missed this. Fack.

 

He took those swings throughout, but it was almost ALWAYS when it was very safe to do so.. it wasn't a lead typically, but too late to be considered a counter.. it was like a reset punch.. when he knew something wouldn't come right back.

 

Sturm's a nightmare for just about anyone with his damn turtle shell defense. He's just much better at picking his spots than Maciel is.

 

I mean I can appreciate the guy too, and I'm sure he'd beat 7 shades of **** out of me, but for a MW title challenge, that's uninspiring.
