- • Russia's Dmitry Pirog made a big splash by knocking out heralded
prospect Daniel Jacobs to win a vacant middleweight belt on July 31 on the Juan Manuel Marquez-Juan Diaz II undercard in Las Vegas. Titleholder Felix Sturm of Germany returned from a 14-month layoff to retain his piece of the title with a lopsided decision against Giovanni Lorenzo on Sept. 4. Now, the two titleholders could meet each other. Artie Pelullo, who promotes Pirog, told ESPN.com that he is in talks with Sturm's team about a unification in November or December or the first quarter of 2011. Pelullo said he has also talked to Top Rank about a match with former champ Kelly Pavlik, although Pavlik first fights Nov. 13 on the Manny Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito under card Nice fight, make it happen | |

| I doubt he flattens Sturm. I think his movement could give Sturm trouble. | |

| i think that pirog might be a little much for sturm unless sturm can really step it up. sturm was having a little trouble in the early rounds against lorenzo and he isnt any good. i know that sturm adjusted and started dominating but i dont see him adjusting as fast and as well against pirog. i think that the fight will be close but i think that pirog might edge out a decision unless its in germany then sturm would probably win no matter what. | |
