Daniel Geale vs Dimitry Pirog

Yeah, good fight, Geale is a capable fighter but Pirog should take this.

 

I was assuming Geale would cynically hold the belt hostage in Australia. Is Pirog a mandatory or something?

 

Nope neither man is a mandatory, I think it's a genuine case of both fighters wanting Martinez, so being a unified champion might help their case.

 

:happy Style wise that should be very interesting.

I'd go with Trout on points, he is fairly talented, this will be his biggest test so far.

 

Why is it happening in August Vano? Bit strange, i can imagine both men will make a defence of there title in the meantime.

 

I guess in this age of fighters farcially avoiding each other it takes me by surprise when they don't. I suppose a crack at Martinez might be worth a little risk.

 

Geale/Pirog & Trout/Dzin?

What's the bet at least one of these fights falls apart? Apologies for my pessimism but I'm struggling to envisage this going through.

 

I think Martinez/Geale would be an easier fight to make than Martinez/Pirog, that ones never looked like coming off. Just too little communication between their promoters, and Dibella clearly doesn't think much of Pirog from a revenue standpoint. Geale would just be too easy for Sergio though.

 

Thank ****. Finally some serious moves by two (of many) questionable 'titlists'.

Hopefully start sorting the wheat from the chaff now.
