Bad Left Hook Live Results and Coverage: Dmitry Pirog v. Javier Maciel on ESPN3

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.
