Glazkov vs the winner of Martin/Joshua

Glazkov loses either way IMO.

 

Hope not. Takam Parker winner hopefully.

 

Nope, lost his chance with losing the fight. Sucks for him, but it did look like he was losing the fight anyway. Hey, if an ATG like Vitali was winning his fight against Byrd and didn't get an immediate rematch, don't know why a overrated fringe contender like Glazkov should get an immediate rematch.

Looks like it will be Parker/Takam winner as 1st mandatory and Pulev/Chisora winner as second.

 

That's the guaranteed, IBF have confirmed that will be the next mandatory however Joshua/Martin will no doubt have options for voluntary defenses against whoever can be signed before the mandatory is enforced. I can't see either of those guys going straight for Takam or Parker, way too risky. Joshua said to Briggs that the fight should happen, odds are he'll go for some Wilder-esque defenses to get some safe time with his belt first if he manages to acquire it.

Martin on the other hand, complete wildcard from what I can tell so far

 

This. Glazkov was getting picked apart before the injury.

 

Or he could go straight for a unification bout. Briggs Joshua would be fun though. Or he could fight a shot Haye in a big money fight that would probably be an easy win that people would think was much more meaningful than it is.

 

Duhaupas, Molina, and Spilzka are all better than Ruiz, Miller, and Breazeale.

 

Glazkov doesn't deserve ****. Tired of this guy getting gift decisions, h2h I doubt he is even a top 20 HW.

 

Glazkov is a slow starter so it wasn't like he couldn't have turned the tide at some point.

 

Doesn't mean much. Glazkov would have about a half dozen losses if you stopped scoring after 3 rounds.

I'm not a fan, but it is what it is. If he'd have gotten whooped and then stopped, great, but portraying what happened as that is wishful thinking - Czar was/is one of the least fan-friendly heavyweights out there and most wanted him to lose, so this repainting of the fight is the closest thing to actually seeing him beat up.

 

1. Yes they are. Ruiz arguably lost to a shot to pieces White Wolf, and that's the best of the three. Molina is the worst of Wilder's three, and would probably ko Ruiz in 5.

2. Maybe, maybe not. Are you his shrink? Can you gaze into the depths of the man's soul?

 

If I understood correctly the winner of Pulev/Chisora will have to fight one more fight before becoming mandatory. Probably Glazkov has a chance to be one of the two unnamed fighters in this fight (again, if I am right) and try to get himself a mandatory shot. Getting injured in the title fight against Martin, might give him a claim to another chance.

 

Maybe Glazkov deserves another chance somehow. Maybe Martin scored more in the first 3 rounds, but Martin has never fought 12 competive rounds. I doubt that Martin could have knocked him out by himself and could dominate him the entire match.

 

Glazkov lost to Cunningham before getting the shot anyway
