Not everything last night went as planned, as expected Robert Guerrero dominated the 38-year-old Joel Casamayor and took an easy decision apart from his last round scare, and Linares did enough to make Rocky Juarez’s late surge all for nothing. But it was Daniel Jacobs another promising star at Golden Boy Promotions (GBP), who slipped up on his big night. His opponent, Russian Dmitriy Pirog, was also unbeaten and with his always come forward style and his big punching the match up looked terrible. Jacobs has only been fighting since 2007 and just like with Victor Ortiz, GBP’s risk hasn’t paid off. In the first round Jacobs looked slightly edgy and didn’t look comfortable at all with Pirog’s style. In the 2nd though a big shot had Jacobs nearly down and he struggled tremendously. His defence was already being brought to question and so was GBP idea of giving him a World title fight so early. But Jacobs started to regain his confidence and by the end of round 4 it looked like his counter-punching was working. But not too long into the 5th, a big right landed straight on Daniel’s chin and the ‘Golden Child’ was lay out on his back and the fight was stopped.
