    His reach is kinda ridiculous for his height, he's the HW version of Floyd in that regard (and only that).

    Really good fight, even match and I'm not sure who I'd favor to win. You could pick one guy today and the other tomorrow.

    I figured the Perez fight would get rescheduled, it would be interesting to see why Perez is out and Glazkov in if this fight happens.

    Hope this fight happens.

    And Perez should rematch Takam, since Irish Mike was fortunate to get a draw.

    Kathy Duva says that she hasn't been approached by HBO or Gary Shaw about a Jennings fight.

    Glazkov is probably back Aug 9 on NBC Sports and she expects Jennings-Perez to be rescheduled since its a WBC mandatory.

    Jennings-Perez is a good fight but I personally prefered a Jennings-Glazkov fight, no complaints if Jennings fights either guy just as long as its one of them(or someone similar).

    This would be a good fight, competitive throughout. But I'd expect Jennings to come out victorious in this one.

    Jennings can win against shot journeymen or overrated wannabe boxers, who wouldn't stand more than 6 rounds against any Top 50 boxers like Spilka .. Glazkov is a other league, this is real boxing. He schooled, destroyed, damaged and humilated Adamek .. there's a reason Jennings ducked Adamek for months.

    Easy decision for Glazkov, he's not a puncher even though Jennigs has a bad chin.

    Good fight. Leaning Jennings but put me into the difficult to predict column.

    Glazkov is the better boxer and should get the decision. But Jennings has the punch and he will land some for sure. Interesting fight.

    Glazkov is not afraid to take on tough fights. I pick him to win, and think he's good enough to win a belt that Wlad does not hold.

    Is this fight happening?

    I believe that it's actually a winnable for Jennings. Glazkov defeated Adamek, but if you realistically look at it, it was obvious for quite some time that Adamek wasn't as good as his rating was indicating. And Glazkov didn't easily win that fight, he was getting hit by Adamek and was tired late in the fight, although overall comfortably winning the fight.
    On the other hand, Jennings wasn't looking that impressive against Szpilka too (who is by far worse boxer than Adamek). He did outbox Szpilka most of the rounds and knocked him out late when Szpilka was tired enough, but if you view the whole fight you'll notice him getting hit by shots from Szpilka which top class boxer shouldn't have been hit with and he even lost some rounds. Overall it was an impressive performance for someone who started boxing just a few years ago, but not impressive for someone who is supposed to be a world class fighter.

    Jennings has a good reach and although he's not a power puncher, he is precise and uses his reach well. On the other side, he isn't very hard to hit because his movement is not as good as it should be. He is often in the wrong position and therefore easier to to find by his opponents. One thing is for sure, he doesn't have problems utilizing the poor defense of his opponent.

    Glazkov is also not a hard puncher, but he measures the distance well, moves well and has good jab. He is not a master level distance keeper and he will have difficulties if his reach is significantly lower than his opponent's, and that would be the case with Jennings. When it comes to mid distance, his defense isn't that good and you could assume that Jennings would usually have him at the mid distance considering his big reach.

    Overall, both fighters have their share of chances, I wouldn't clearly favor either boxer as it could obviously go either way, but if this fight is actually happening, it's a must see.
