Gennady Golovkin vs Dimitry Pirog

gg would end his career and im a pirog fan

 

people overrating GGG like hell.

Pirog would make him look like a fool.

 

Yeah, I like Pirog, too, but I can see why he backed out of this one. Anyone with that many G's in his name is NOT to be ****ed with.

 

Pirog had a legit injury. He's not fighting again until next year.

 

Eh, maybe... but Pirog gets hit quite often as well, and stand more in the pocket. He was tagged a lot against Ishida. That doesn't bode well against a guy with dynamite in his fists like Golovkin. Although Pirog can hit pretty hard himself.

 

I think it's a legitimately close fight and might slightly favor Golovkin. I just believe Pirog wasn't trying to avoid Golovkin in this instance.

 

I really like Pirog and think he could potentially beat Martinez but i don't think his style is good against Golovkin. Pirog is a bit of a paradox cuz he has a good defense but prefers to fight in the pocket. I'v never seen him fight off the back foot and standing in the pocket against Golovkin is murder.

 

Pirog is a ducker, he'll never fight GGG anyway.

Have you seen a proof ?

 

No they aren't. How? By asking who would win hypothetical fights against Canelo and Pirog?

GGG by T/KO somewhere within 10 rounds.

I think it's Pirog who is massively overrated. He has one big win against and it was against a fellow prospect, not a world champion. Not only that, I think Jacobs had an off night and was too green at that time. Hopefully Jacobs can come back from his awful luck and continue progressing. If he can I think he smokes Pirog. And if they had fought ten times with the two versions that did fight, I think Jacobs would win 7 of ten.

 

GGG is the truth, the way and the light.
