My Thoughts On Glazkov/Scott And The HW Scene

It was a 10-rounder.
Like the British fight of the century. Haye vs. Chisora.

On topic, I was impressed by Scott's performance. I agree with Vysotsky that it was a fought at a high skill-level for a hw fight. I was pleased.

Both showed nice defense, variety and movement. Moreso Scott than Glazkov, definitely. Glazkov was clueless at times especially on the ropes he couldn't find an opening and ended up hitting air most of the time. I was disappointed by Glazkov. Scott had excellent spacing and kept Glazkov at range much better than I expected. Glazkov lacked the fire for some reason last night but taking nothing away from Scott who should have got the nod, imho. It was close but I felt Scott was the winner.

I also hope Glazkov comes back stronger from this.

Did anyone else notice how small that ring was?
What was an advantage for Glazkov that he couldn't capitalize on.

 

It must be said that Vysotsky is guilty of the occasional lapse when it comes to scoring.

He had Cotto over Mayweather, which he referred to as a "robbery". I'd like to see his RBR breakdown of that one.

And Cotto was a lowly Puerto Rican. Glazkov is a beloved Ukranian.

Some guys just don't swell that much, no matter how many jabs connect. Plus, Scott throwing the jab to control range a lot of the time, rather than to damage his foe.

Scott's ring generalship> Glazkov's ineffective aggression, and there were really only about three rounds where that wasn't the case.

Pretty clearly a Scott win, even if Glazkov didn't fight at all badly in defeat.

 

I didnt see the same fight at all as most people....I had it 6-4 Glazkov....Only really clear round being the 6th and the 10th(both to Glazkov)....neither fighter took control for and long stretches of time but most of the fight it was Glazkov coming forward with more power punches while Scott backed to the ropes jabbing and looking to counter.......I watched on a Russian feed so didn't get English commentary....

 

"What a ****ing robbery"

 

:rofl:rofl:deal

 

wow... i am also just watching the fight for the first time and i am surprised at how onesided people made it sound... but i can see why, just listening to the commantators i want to give most rounds to scott. I've noticed a few sniky punchs landed by glazkov and no mention of it by the commantators. no one is doing anything for the first 3 rounds... scott is firing his jab (rarely landing) but keeping glazkov at bay, Glazkov can't do much because of the good distance scott is keeping along with his great defense. i mean ffs no one is doing anything... no one is being effective, you can give scott the first 3 rounds based on activity alone but even in the 2nd round the only minigful punch i saw came from glazkov in a form of a hook. anyways i'll keep watching... just watched the first 3 rounds by this point.

 

Didn't see the fight so can't say but given clear bias the OP shows for Eastern Euros, I'm skeptical.

 

8-2 Scott. You can make a case for 7-3 or 9-1, but nothing else. Learn to score a fight folks.

 

V,

for once I have to disagree with you. Strongly.

Glazkov did very little for the entire fight. Your RBR makes it sound like he was an aggressive pitbull in there, but that is far from the truth. He was completely afraid of Scott's "power" for the entire fight, and the shots he did throw had very little on them.

- And so many of his shots were nullified by Scott's surprisingly good defense.

This fight reminds me a bit of Campillo-Cloud, and both were robberies, IMO.

 

k 6 rounds in and i turned off the commentary... no one is really doing anything and the NBC crew is creating an imaginary fight that they are seeing in their heads. What i gathered so far is that this fight is close, Scott has phenomenal defense but so does Glazkov, i dont see where the numbers of landed punches are coming from because most of these punchs are blocked or missed (by both fighters)

 

Yes. Scott had a very elusive defense on the ropes. A shame he just rarely countered with anything when Glazkov was missing.

This fight really had no signature punch or anthing but I saw Scott land some flashy shots, especially to the body. Glazkov also did very well picking off shots upstairs.

Why not a rematch down the road. I'm up for it.
