Jaccobs (20-1, 17 KOs), who hails from the Brownsville neighborhood of King's County, is an Empire State favorite and his defeat is a kick in the sack for many fans of New York City and American boxers alike
"I'm not going to complain. I just hope everyone will forgive me and keep the faith," said Jacobs, 23, whose are as produced fighter's like Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe and Shannon Brigg . "I know I can come back and become a champ. I got caught with a shot I didn't really see. I'll be all right."
This is a bad loss for Jacobs and an enormous triumph for the 30-year-old Pirog.
"Americans always think they need the best," said Maxim Dashok, 28 a Russian who currently resides in Brookline.
Nevertheless, American fight fans, relax.
Pirog is 30 and he still has a solid five years left to compete.

Hence, Pirog's window period is small and Jacobs' has three presidential elections left.
Pirog is the bet for a while and Jacobs is the pugilist of the future.
