Are you guys ready for Glazkov-Martin?

Forget the belt, these are two relatively even matched opponents. Should be a good s**** with an uncertain outcome.

 

The HW division, as predicted, will become fragmented and be held hostage by paper champs for a while now with Wlad losing

Absolute farce of a fight, Duva is a ***** to force the mandatory knowing Fury contractually couldn't take it, and I hope Glazkov gets Ktfo now

 

But.... but...... That's better than having one clear and established champion who does his best to face all comers, the HW division will be better with Wlad gone!

In reality all the work he did to unify the belts has been undone over night.... The winner of Fury/Klitschko II I hope will sort this mess out again, and I hope that the other belts don't start coming loose as well.

 

glazkov is an average fighter but he has been able to step in with top 20/30 opposition and is more of a known quantity than martin

glazkov has average size at 6.3 /is fit but not big /has average handspeed /looks to have a decent chin/ slow feet/average handspeed/average power but not really even a wear them down type/ is comfertable v speed/height/length/ and is defensivly sound/nice guard when he throws a punch /jab nearly non exsistent/chin tucked/ he obviously knows his way in the ring /makes few mistakes /has decent to good stamina /has no flashy or go to shots /does everything fine just not anything stand out.

in the other corner we have boxrec top 40 fighter
long/tall/southpaw/unorthodox throwing style/fought absolutley nothing to really know where he is at/decent to above average handspeed/left down the pipe is a nice power shot/i suspect average power at a higher level/chin no idea never seen him take a decent shot/footspeed awkward but good/defense poor /chin up uncordinated /open to counters/stamina looks fine /does not use his arms to protect his shot when leading of/jab ok /


martin is bigger /rangier and hits harder but is very unpolished.
glazkov is a more rounded /knows his way around better and has fought better opposition.

tentativley i pick a martin points win simply on what assets he brings to the ring and the fact glazkov carries little power for a heavy to punish martins mistakes / but its a hard fight to call.

 

You think they'd stick by Wlad the long term champ to see if he could win back his belt I find this odd

 

The fact that this title is up for grabs is an atrocity. They're both decent fighters but Glazkov is a puzzler. He always seems to find a way to make fights close but he's not like a negative fighter in the sense that he doesn't throw many punches. I don't understand his mentality in terms of ring generalship. He's got skill. His co-trainer Don Turner was asked how good he was and this is somebody that really seemed to rate him a few years ago and he just said "When he fights he's pretty good." or something like that.
