Pirog Schools Jantuah, Bakhtov Crushes Kretschmann

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Earlier in Voelkingen, Germany, middleweight Dmitry Pirog (14-0, 11 KOs) scored the biggest win of his young career as he absolutely dominated veteran and former title challenger Kofi Jantuah (32-4-1, 21 KOs) for their entire twelve round contest. [details]

Dmitry Pirog appears to be highly skilled, and is probably a bona fide threat to Pavlik and Sturm.

Denis can`t fight southpaws... This (first round KO of a tall southpaw) tells a lot about the level of Kretschmann...

I've always said timo Hoffman is the European version of monte Barrett.he's the European gatekeeper & I feel bakhtov is a Russian trialhorse/gatekeeper as well.I compare denis to Robert Hawkins.a tough,marginally skilled fighter who always comes to fight but lacks that upper echelon skill to beat the top guys but good enough to pull the upset.I read posters on this site saying kretchsmann was the next max schmelling...so those people can stop hacking on tye fields now because kretch is NOT going anywhere.he can still carve out a decent career but he has to be smart & not rush anything.how will he rebound is the question? This is a perfect example why people shouldn't put too much pressure on deontay wilder.
