2013-02-23 Vyacheslav Glazkov vs Malik Scott- thoughts and views!

Besides, a lot of analysts and non-judges FORGET that you win/lose points or favour in the judges eyes for LACK of aggression and LACK of enagement in the ring.

You can't win a fight off of counter-punching alone and slipping punches. You have to initiate the mix-up as well.

I has it 96-94 Glazkov. He moved Malik when he connected, cut him off, better puncher and his body work was solid. Malik was boxing well in spots but it was Glazkov who changed the fight when he wanted.

I dont agree that smaller gloves and a small ring would 'make' guys fight though. With respect that's a bit cro-mag logic. It's professional boxing and you'll see a mesh of styles. Sometimes they work, sometimes you fall asleep. These are boxers not not roasters in a cock fight. If you wanna motivate make it winner take all, larger purse, or simply tell the promotion next time his fighter stinks out the joint and keep him off the airwaves. Even then a fighters going to fight what they know.

On a sidenote I'm more convinced that are feeding BJ Flores a cocktail of bathsalts and LSD before he calls fights. He is easily one of the most biased and or dellusional guys today. Malik was boxing well, ok, but the minute he says he reminds him of Pernell Whitaker he needs to have that headset yanked off his melon. His t shirt must be too damn tight.

It is great to see two young hopefuls clash though. Regardless of preference if the division has any hope it needs more mutual step up fights like this! A draw sucks but at least they met.

You said it yourself Spicoli- when Glazkov connected he pushed Scott back. And when Scott got pushed back, in my estimation, he started to run more and more. The punchers gloves would solve all of this- when a gut gets really hit, he will have to respond by either taking a knee or punching back to fight the other guy off of him.

To me, and we can all agree, Scott ran way too much for our likings? No? Even people that called the fight for Scott said he ran. But Glazkov did nothing to say he should get extra point on the top when Scott, even in his running around the ring, was the better counter-puncher, at least.

This was a good call for a draw. They should be made to do it again, with all of my specific dimensions into consideration.

8oz gloves
Smaller ring
New ref (automatic anyways)
and to add to all of this... a very "stiff" and solid mat. No bouncing around and whisping away. Stand and box and fight.
No 3 knockdown rule (because of the 8oz gloves and the smaller ring, give them as much times to get up and fight)
No standing 8 count
12 rounds

I watched this bout and thought Scott out scored his opponent 3 to 1 and landed the more meaningfull shots 2 to 1. he used the tiny (for heavyweights) ring looked to be 17'10"" to his advanage actually. He engaged then walked across the ring (3 steps) then beat his opponent to the punch throughout the entire match. It was uneventfull but clearly a decision win but as Mr. Scott said immediately after the fight he fought a Main Events fighter on a Main Events card came in short notice and they fought in a ring that was too small for heavies! My surprise was Ms. Letermans score card, she's usually consistant and does see intriquicies that others miss. I think she scored it even, a joke! It reminded me of Adimeks fight, the fact that your moving forward is important to me but you have to score and neither of these "slow footed slow handed" fighters did! If they moved their hands as much or as often as their opponents they'd recieve more props! Scott was far more busy and more accurate than Cunningham was.
Scott did moer than enough to win, it really wasn't close at all!! Ray.

Yep. Some people will just disagree with the obvious to get attention and a rise out of others.

Exactly, I saw this thread when there were no additional comments and decided not to reply because the starter was clearly clueless and has no understanding of boxing. "Smaller ring" Why not just tie them together with a rope?

You are the one that's clueless. Ring size means a lot to a fight at times- ring size and tight/stiff ropes.

Scott did not deserve to win this fight. Period. The same argument can be applied to the DLH/Trinidad fight to certain extent- just that DLH did more to win the fight up until the 11th round to get the nod. Scott stopped fighting at about the 7-8th round, and Glazkov tired- but still was coming forward.

You can't be a champion on weak stuff like that. Let them fight again, 16ft ring, 8oz gloves (the Reyes punchers gloves) and let's see a fight, not a pitty-patter dance party!

Skills comes out when you are tested. Nothin tests your metal in contact sports than when you are hit or involved in a supremely physical task. That's why we watch- not for a dance party with love taps!

First of all you are wrong when you say Scott landed more meaningful shots. Glazkov had the more meaningful and telling shots- as he moved Scott backwards more than Scott did Glazkov.

Second, that ring was 18' plus. If they whittled it down to the basic 16' it would be a funny and exciting fight to watch.
