PanARMENIAN.Net - On September 25, Krasnodar, Russia, will host a
clash between WBO middleweight champion Dmitry Pirog (18-0, 14 KOs) to
defend his title against WBO #1 and obligatory challenger Gennady
Martirosyan (22-2, 11 KOs).
As the Armenian-born boxer noted on the eve of the fight, `I could
handle it better, were I to combat a foreign challenger. However, we
have to be ready to perform under any circumstances, making our
personal advantages a decisive factor.'
Pirog, in turn, pointed out the combat venue as the key setback.
`Americans won't take the Russia-hosted clash seriously. Should I
succeed in defending my title, I'll aim to have the next clash in U.S.
I hope my fans will enjoy the fight,' allboxing.ru quoted him as
saying.
