In an interview with the media, Russian boxing master and former WBO middleweight champion Dmitry Pirog (20-0, 15KO) talked about some of the situation of the former indisputable middleweight treble winner Gennadi Golovkin (41-1-1, 36KO).
He argues that Golovkin has written history in the middleweights. It also talked about a potential triple battle with Mexican superstar Canello Avarez (57-1-2, 39KO).
The reporter asked: "What do you think of Golovkin's peak and how do you evaluate him?" ”
Pirog said: "In my opinion, The peak of Golovkin's career should be after I retired from injury. I think the peak of his career was his big fight with Avarez in 2017. He was a very clever boxer, at 160 pounds, and this level that belonged to us, he made history and wrote legends. ”
He was a very interesting warrior, he became the focus of discussion, and his name has become a household name in the United States. It's just that he's had a very low playing density lately, but I think he still has the energy to keep playing. ”
The reporter asked: "You must have seen his two big fights with Avarez, who do you think won the first and second games?" ”
Pirog replied: "A battle, I am sure that Golovkin won, there is no doubt about it. But in the second game, I think Avarez performed better, he dared to stand in the middle of the boxing ring, attacked head-on, played very aggressively, and to some extent repelled Golovkin. Visually, Avarez won a good impression from the audience and the referee. ”
The reporter asked: "If you fight three battles, who do you think will win?" ”
Pirog said: "As Golovkin gets older, I'm not sure if his competitive form is in serious decline, but Avarez has some new technical embodiment and he is constantly growing and improving. If it were to be played again, I believe Avarez would sweep Golovkin. ”
Pirog is a Russian master of technology, maintaining a perfect record of 20 wins and 15 KO games, having brutally KO Jacobs in 5 rounds, and he is also the only one who KO Jacobs. Pirog's nickname is the Master of Technology, or the Top Master. His skills are indeed good, he has also been pinned high hopes, many people are expecting him and Golovkin to have a peak duel, unfortunately, he faded out of the boxing scene because of a back injury.
Pirog talked about the three battles between Golovkin and Avarez, and the fight was very reasonable. Golovkin is about to turn 40 years old, has long gone downhill, and the 31-year-old Avarez is at his peak, and the technology is unabated, if he fights three battles, Golovkin will undoubtedly lose.
Avarez is currently a world champion of 4 levels, far behind Golovkin. Whether or not to fight three battles is completely beyond The control of Golovkin, and it all depends on Avarez's attitude.
If you really fight three battles, it can only help Golovkin earn the last pension of his career, and Avarez has a 50% chance of KO Golovkin, at least he can win in points, and the suspense is gone. 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
