Comments Thread For: Pirog Suffers Back Injury, Withdraws From Golovkin Bout

[rey guey]

this is becoming the norm with this guy.

he was set to fight N'Jikam but slips on ice and injuries himself, now he hurts his back before another big fight????


seriously the Pirog has played the WBO and they need to strip him and give the belt to N'Jikam, because I'd rather see Cotto against N'Jikam than a I pull out of every big fight Pirog.

on a side note I'd like to see Quillin step up and fight Golovkin, Macklin would be great too.

I'm not defending him anymore, I'm tired of him not fighting anyone, but there was no second big fight.

n'jikam. thats a big fight for pirog. like i said, the second time. n'jikam is easily better than anyone hes ever fought. so is golovkin. its not a coincidence.

Please show me a fight announcement. For a big fight, you'd think someone would have announced it. Pirog pulled out of the NDam fight the way Sergio pulled out of Pirog fight in Russia.

Dude, NDam offered him a fight in Equatorial Guinea. How far you think those negos went? You said he pulled out of a big fight, was Epix gonna pick up the Equatorial Guinea feed?

doesnt matter where he offered the fight, ndam was his mandatory, wbo ordered the fight, pirog negotiated with the date and venue being settled he pulled out. no matter how u look at it, its the same thing over again. idc if the fight was on the moon. pirog pulled out. 2x in 6 months. dudes a *****.

If Dan Rafael puts it out there, it's probably true. Sergio never signed anything or agreed to fight Pirog in Russia. He would have fought him in the US but HBO was still pissed at Pirog for beating Jacobs so they said no to putting him back on their airwaves so soon.

NDam wasn't his mandatory, he didn't even have 1 WBO sanctioned bout. He just found a sweet way to parlay into another interim belt, or better. Even if you can't stand Pirog, please follow along, it's funny:

WBA orders purse bid on Feb 2 for reg champ Golovkin vs interim champ NDam, for the 3rd (?) time. NDam no show again, loses interim belt
NDam offers fight to WBO champ Pirog in Equatorial Guinea for April
Pirog claims injury, will be ready may 1 to fight HNN or whoever is WBO mandatory. Working on Aug hbo date
HNN cant wait, has stadium booked in Equatorial Guinea. Will fight wbo 2 for interim belt
Pirog defends on May 1, HNN wins interim belt 3 days later, in France
NDam wants a shot at full champ by sept, been waiting too long

Are we talking about the same big fight? NDam in Equatorial Guinea?

lol, ok u seem to think i care that ndam ducked golovkin, i know he did. but pirog ducked them both. and n'dam is his madatory now, my mistake, but he was on the wbo's rankings and he was high on the list. thats why he foguth bursak for mandatory status. either way u look at it, pirog pulled out of that fight, i dunno why ur defending the dude. u pull out of 2 fights in the span of less than a year and u deserve to get criticized.
