Shame how Pirog/his team have dropped the ball really, inactive and **** performance against an average opponent. Those that have seen him since before Jacobs know he's better than that.
Thats Bollocks, was fighting Elcock who pulled out a day before. That is when he faught Danny Buttler,
I'm talking about around the time Elcock was bashed up by Abraham.... it's in a Boxing Monthly issue from around that time. :good
Few will prepare Barker for Sergio. I'm behind Barker all the way. Martinez is awesome but not as good technically as some think. If Barker can fight 12 hard rounds then who knows.
They're 'ducking' Pirog When DiBella was asked about Martinez/Pirog he said "**** Pirog". Official reason for not fighting Pirog is the WBO stripped Martinez for no reason and so they're pissed off at the WBO and don't want to fight for their title. However, WBC also stripped Sergio but he really wants to get that belt :huh
why would Sergio want to fight for a title that was stripped from him? he has two of the main titles in boxing today, **** the rest.
I can't see it. They never did with Khan-Maidana, even though Maidana's corner were waving the Argentine flag with Malvinas written on it.
It's not about the WBO title though, Pirog is better known in America than Barker and is a better fighter than him too. Like Ishy said, he always says he wants to fight for the WBC title which was stripped from him as well
Pirog wanted a fight in America after the Jacobs win but couldn't land one. the WBC situation is downright corruption and Sergio was pissed stating he wished to keep the belt until he retired or until he lost it.
Has barker been 100% approved by hbo? £aybe we should wait until that decision is made (tonight I believe) before getting too gassed
