How can anybody claim Jacobs was thrown in with the sharks? Look at Pirog’s record prior to the fight. Who had he ever beaten? It was two prospects matched against each other. Now Golden Boy knows what they do/don’t have in Jacobs, and can map out his future accordingly.
Another case of rushing a young fighter with lots of promise along too fast. Too bad for Jacobs. Whose next for Pirog, a big puncher with only 17 fights? Maybe Guerrero, McEwan, Lee, Lemieux, Sylvester, or Zbik. Pirog still needs a little more experience before taking on the likes of Sturm, Williams, or Martinez.
biZZ IS CORRECT MATE. USA BOXING HAS THEIR FAVORITE GUYS. THAT RUMOR IS KNOWN ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUD. THATS WHY WE FEED ON YOU GUYS, HA HA BECAUSE YOUR REAL FIGHTERS GET RUN TO THE GHETTO. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MATE.
i think gb do a good job with their fighters. every fighter must step up. thats the way it is. many fighters were overhyped in the amateurs. they cheat for these guys, no matter what and when the headgear comes off they get exposed. BOTTOM LINE.
Agreed Golden Boy seems to have a problem with sheltering their fighters, then all of a sudden they throw them in with a guy like Pirog without any step up on the way. What they should be dooing is gradualy having their fighters fight tuffer and tuffer guys. But instead they just build up records against soup cans, then throw them in with the sharks. Same exact thing happened to ortiz and he still hasnt gotten his carear back on track.
Don- Thats exactly what happened! Goldenboy have a tendancy to do this with their youngsters. Ortiz is a good example, Orlando Cruz another, and Saul Alvarez very nearly came a cropper in the first round of his fight on the mayweather mosley undercard. It went very wrong last night this time for Jacobs. Also worryingly for jacobs, it seemed that the only thing a fighter needs to beat him is…to not be intimidated and dont be afraid to get stuck into him.
This is what happens when u fight too many tomato cans while being hyped up to death!
As for Pirog, you can only say well done and good luck in future son
For me Jacobs was used to knocking over c and d level fighters and had no plan b when he came up against a guy who was physically stronger than himself, to his credit he did try his best but golden boy put him straight in from fighting dead bodies to fighting a complete bad ass without stepping it up slowly!
Peterkin may be the next top up and coming fighter from Brownsville, but he better earn it. Peterkin is hard nosed, and he will battle you to the end. Like Pirog, maybe the pros will be his redemption. YOU DONT HAVE 2 BE AN OLYMPIAN TO EXCEL IN BOXING. But you better know how 2 fight, and take a punch. I think Peterkin can. But Jacobs was special. VERY SPECIAL. Can Peterkin reach that? I think so. Thats if he stays focused.
Thats sucks that he got beat but he’s still talented and can make up for this loss he just got caught I had him winning on the cards but with them both they could of ko’d each other at anytime. He’ll be back and better
NO WAY DANNY JACOBS GETS KO’D LIKE THIS IN VEGAS WITH CA$H MONEY ON THE LINE. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO BOXERS WHO REMAIN WITH ANDRE ROZIER WHO WILL BE FOREVER JEALOUS SINCE HIS NEPHEW CURTIS STEVENS CANT OR WONT MAKE IT. ALL THE CHIN CHECKERS GOT CLIPPED. DANNY JACOBS, gary stark jr, JAIDON CODRINGTON, CURTIS STEVENS, EVEN JOE GREENE GOT ROCKED. AND SOON…..SADAM ALI, AN OLYMPIAN THEY CHEATED FOR TO MAKE THE TEAM AND IS FIGHTING BUMS 20 POUNDS LIGHTER THAN HIM ON TV. THIS NINTENDO TEAM OF UNPOLISHED TALENT IS WASTED. ASK TEDDY ATLAS, WHO CAN SAY WHAT HE REALLY WANTS TO NOW.
@ Buffy
Pirog actually had a few very good wins including an early KO over a fighter who not long before went the full 12 with Arthur Abraham!
What a shot that was, a proper over hand punch and it was devastating! Pirog could go far I think with power/skills like that.

What is Kelly Palik doing he should go knocking on Pirogs door kelly aint know new starter.
DOES ANDRE ROZIER STILL HAVE A JOB?
the same guys who cry robbery in the olympics cheat their own in the amateurs….in THEIR OWN COUNTRY.

Andre Rozier is making the Havoc Panties……..FOR MEN………HIS MEN.

pirog was the life of the night. another pacman in the making.
pirog should fight williams at middleweight.
or pirog could ktfo that slippery sergio martinez.
wonder if they will ever match kon up with some one good?
brownsviie……..brownsville. who is reppin now?
Found Jacobs jaw under a seat. I want my reward money.
Pirog reminds me of the Russian in rocky movie(Draco). I’m pretty sure I heard pirog tell Jacob”you dead”
brownsville…..brownsville. who’s left out there?
Pirog is bad ass, after the 1st round i already knw that its just a matter of time.
Well.. There’s goes that idiot…
FOR SOME REASON THEY GAVE HIM TO MUCH SAUL ALVERZ WAY BETTER FIGHTER
Jacobs just didn’t settle, never looked too comfortable……to be fair to the guy it was a great punch!!
One of the saddest things I’ve ever seen, very close fight but I had him up 3-1 just like all three judges… Damn….
DAMN THAT SUCKSSSSSSS
