Pirog v Ishida?????

Pirog's getting sparked OUT! :happy

 

Pirog vs Geale :deal

 

TBF, he did get screwed out of a world title in Mexico against Rigo Alvarez his previous time out before upsetting Kirkland.

Still, based on recent form he doesn't come close to deserving a shot at Pirog for a MW title. (and besides, the Alvarez fight was going on two years ago and at a lower weight). The Kirkland KO and being decisively beaten by Williams are really all there is on which to base a middleweight ranking for Ishida. They just don't add up to "title shot coming off the loss", nope.

 

Ishida might have problems I think im right in saying the Japanese boxing comission doesnt recognise the WBO?

 

Or for even a real belt.

 

**** fight.

 

That's what i thought.

Maybe it will be a 10 rounder, to keep busy before the Geale fight.

 

:yep There is also that.

 

Nkosinathi Joyi will defending his IBF belt against a Jap this week.

I think they don't sanction any fights in Japan but if it's abroad there's not much the Jap board can do.

 

Fair enough I guess they aren't as stringent on the old revoking of licences :good

 

at least the guy is somewhat known unlike cleverlys opponent who I have never heard of before or is it just me.

 

I knew of him as Haxhi Krasniqi, Luan's little brother who gets the odd gift now and then cause he's not good enough to convincingly beat journeymen.

He is only 24 though so that might of changed......his name has anyway.

 

He is Luan's nephew, not his brother.

And, what gifts did he get? :think

I know some people had Hakim Zoulikha ahead at the time of the stoppage, but Robin/Haxhi was up by a point on my card. And it wasn't a gift stoppage. He had the Frenchman out on his feet.
