In his last fight, Dmitry Pirog made a lot of instant fans with his fifth round knockout of Danny Jacobs on the Marquez-Diaz II undercard in July 2010. Today, he returns to the ring for the first time since that big win, which for about five minutes was considered an upset, taking on Argentina's Javier Maciel. Pirog, now considered a top middleweight contender, is the heavy favorite fighting at home in Russia.

The fight can be seen at 11:45 am EDT on ESPN3.com. For those in the UK, Premier Sports also has the fight. We'll be here for a little early afternoon/late morning Saturday boxing, a rare treat for us, and the start of day-long live event coverage here at Bad Left Hook.
