Jantuah Praised By Opponent
Dmitry Pirog upon his retirement, when asked about his toughest opponent, recalled the Jantuah fight as his most difficult:[5]
When I boxed him, he was the most difficult opponent for me, because he set several tasks, which I've been supposed to resolve while taking an avalanche of punches.What
tasks they were? First
of all, he was rubberlike from my point.When we
boxed I felt I've had a several times higher class as a boxer. I have
long amateur career. I have
vast experience, but this was a kind of guy, which is very hard to knock out. I don't
recall him being ever knocked out. Everything I
threw connected [shows punches], but those were quick punches, each time I threw a power shot, somehow he slips it.
