✅ I propose to recap the best moments of this fight and see my review of this confrontation. А round-by-round analysis.
Russian boxer Dmitry Pirog (17-0, 14 KOs) knocked out American Daniel Jacobs (20-1, 17 KOs) in five rounds to capture the vacant WBO middleweight title.
As for Pirog, the 30-year-old Russian really established himself as one of the better middleweight fighters in the world. He looked really fantastic in the ring in pretty much all aspects. Serious power, great movement, good defense, showed a lot of angles. He closer resembled reigning world middleweight champion Sergio Martinez than he did your stereotypical, more mechanical Russian boxer.
