    Haven't seen this posted yet:

    WBO #9 ranked middleweight Javier Maciel of Argentina (18-1, 12 KOs) will get his first opportunity at a world title. Maciel will challenge WBO middlweweight champion Dmitry Pirog (17-0, 13 KOs) of Russia March 26th in Ekaterinburg, Russia. “Maciel is training extremely hard for this the biggest fight of his career and is 100% focused,” said Maciel’s manager Mario Margossian.

    Anyone know anything about Maciel?

    Don't know anything about the guy. Just glad Pirog is fighting again. It will be very one sided because Pirog is the real deal with a warrior mentality. Marciel better be training hard if he wants to see the late rounds.

    I would say who the hell is Marcel, but then less than a year ago I said who the hell is Pirog and he made me know him real quick.

    I wish Pirog could get a better foe but then again HBO was more interested in Danny Jacobs and didnt really hang on to the winner

    Who knows this guy can be tough most latin fighters are
