I guess we'll see how good ''GGG'' is if he can knockout Dmitry Pirog. I think you can guage Dmitry Pirog's last performance against Ishida and gauge a faded Paul Williams performance against Ishida to really see what level Pirog is on. I watched Pirogs fight against Martirosyan with my 93 year old grandfather and he's been watching boxing since the beginning, and he said to me Dmitry Pirog wouldn't beat Martinez as he's ''in his own words'' a few levels below him. You can't use the word ''bum'' on here lightly. When i watched the Kassim Ouma fight and Golovkin's latest fight with him he said Golovkin would beat Martinez and he's right about all of his predictions 98 percent of the time. All the fighters and the history you talk about he knows in his head without the internet. He just has old books and tapes. I keep him informed these days with news about boxing and fights i give to him to watch regularly. If Golovkin knocks him out he will have lived up to the hype he's getting for sure.
pirog hasn't really performed that well since the jacobs fight. i think it's because he's been frustrated at not getting the big fights ( he was going to retire if it carried on like that) and was just going through the motions. now though, he's got a big fight in front of him and will show everyone that he's one of the best fighters in the world. he WILL knock golovkin out. trust me on this. i'd say somewhere in the last few rounds. i cannot ****ing wait for this one. seems things are moving in the right direction in the MW division. it's all going off.
Pirog got this, old timers always have an affinity to the power punchers so no surprise he picked golovkin.
