    Danny's performance against Golovkin tonight enhances the legacy of Dimitry Pirog. It's a shame that Pirog's career was cut short, and he never had the opportunity to prove his greatness in the ring. Salute to the slick, hard punching Russian, Dimitry Pirog.

    It is a shame that Pirog's career was cut short. But Jacobs had a tumor wrapped around his spine during that fight.

    Jacobs in a fight with Pirog and Jacobs now are completely different fighters.
    Pirog back then would have been knocked out by GGG.

    Jacobs is a different animal now, but Pirog/GGG would have been a good ass fight.

    That's wasn't close to the same sick Jacob's from 2010, I'm not that surprised fans on THIS site can't see the drastic differences.
    Pirog would always be a huge problem for Jacob's due to his insane reach, so you have that

    You're obviously very confused, Jacobs just got beat clearly in every single facet of boxing tonight, and that was as a full fledged and fully hydrated lhw. The moment always catches the simpleton
