Re injured his back in training for the GGG fight.
Remember Golovkin was supposed to make his HBO debut vs Pirog as a late replacement for Geale.

... he's 35 right now...
... when he retired, due to that back injury, there was exactly about a Pirog-Golovkin fight under discussion...

Says he's hungry to return.
Disc injury is not good for anyone, especially not good for a fighter with his style.

i thought he had the coolest style and story -- chess player who walked into a boxing club and found out he liked it more

too bad his chess player body didn't hold up

I think Golovkin would've beaten him but it's a real shame he didn't get more chances and the injury robbed us of some real good fights. He was avoided by Martinez and that's a fight he could've won as Sergio was already slowing down at that point. Probably too late for him to ever get back to that level sadly.

I think Pirog was a pretty good fighter with a lot of potential. The GGG fight would have been interesting

Add to all of this, he had balls to sign to fight GGG, being stripped of his WBO title in order to pursue that fight. This happening at a time where GGG was barely known

I can read alright... As you may see, Pirog's Twitter account is almost empty from back in 2012 till now, when this message just emerged.
... It's funny that you follow the guy on Twitter... I thought that Pirog had a job in management or something...

would love to see him again, that jacobs KO punch was beautiful.
