Dmitry Pirog upon his retirement, when asked about his toughest opponent, recalled Jantuah fight as the most difficult:

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.
