    I honestly thought it would've been ruled a draw. I didn't keep score, though. Cunningham gassed hard and was ineffective late and getting buzzed.

    Cunningham, but I can see where people who had it a draw come from, he kind of faded in the later rounds.

    I scored it for Glazkov like 7-5, I didn't even want him to win in all honesty and the fight was close enough for it to be scored either way, I was hoping Cunningham would be awarded the win.

    Now, for all you who voted that V. Glazkov won, what kind of bet did you have on the Ukrainian that makes you biased?

    I need to watch the final 4 rounds. I fell asleep after round 8 and woke up to Jean Pascal walking to the ring.

    Through 8 rounds, I had Cunningham up 77-75, or 5-3, but he was clearly fading so I wouldn't be surprised if he coughed up a draw or loss by losing 3 or all of the rounds...

    Did Glazkov literally sweep the last 4 rounds for you guys?

    I had it a draw. No problem with Glazkov winning after Cunningham blew the second half of the fight, though it's not a surprise Duva's judges had him up by too much. She's been watching over him for a while now.

    Didn't score it but found myself agreeing with Harold for the most part

    Czar did own the final rounds the clearest won rounds of the fight

    Honestly it seemed Cunningham slapped and armed a lot of shots, Czar seemed to throw with real force all fight

    Not that it's right but I think this contributes to controversial scoring for other high tempo light hitters who lose heartbreakers like Herrera and Campillo

    Cunningham edged it imo.

    Cunningham lost it but Glazkov was "supposed to win" it so he did. You cannot market Cunningham for top fights after this point no matter what he does, but Glazkov remains as the undefeated Eastern European which is one of the most marketable packages in the boxing world. He will go against someone like Wilder and get completely destroyed and finish his mission with a big payday.

    I'd consider Marko Huck(cruiserweight) a bigger challenge to anyone in HW division than Glazkov - who is more or less the definition of HW hype right now.

    People haven't really hyped Glazkov since the Scott fight.

    I really am curious though... Did you guys think Glazkov swept the final four rounds? I need to just watch the final four rounds but until then I ask of my ESB mates...

    I had it a draw. No problem with either man winning but I was rooting for Cunningham and had a vbet running on him.

    This was NO robbery, and the poll clearly reflects that too.
    Glazkov vs Scotty was a robbery, this wasn't.
