Why do you gotta bring countries into this? You could argue that he was a hype job, but somebody had to lose. It happens. Don't be a nationalist idiot.
Gotta love you so-called boxing fans who cheer whenever a prospect fails. Is there another sport out there that openly wants it's rising stars to fail as much as boxing, I think not... yet you wonder why the sport won't go mainstream.
So, if Jacobs was just all hype, how much credit does Pirog deserve? According your post, Jacobs basically sucked, so Pirog is still unproven. Correct? Your an idiot. Jacobs is a pretty good fighter and got KO'd by a better fighter. Pirog will give fits to alot of other guys in the division IMO. Unfortunately, I am in the minority that root for fighters and give credit to fighters no matter where the **** they are from.
it happens. Sometimes they can comeback and do fine. No one thought Booker T Word was better than Anthony Hembrick
I'm still a fan of Jacobs despite losing to Pirog (who I'm interested to watch fight again), he'll bounce back.
