***The Malik Scott v Glazkov Build-Up & Discussion Thread!!***

This is the welterweight division... I really think that a Heavyweight needs to have power in order to win against an strong opponent!
Many people thought that Tor Hamer has a good chance against Glazkov and look what he did to him. Hamer knew he would get beaten really bad so he quit.
I give Scott only a small chance to win on the cards he just seems to be very passiv in his fights....

 

Tupou is a rugby player... not hard to school him I think for a skilled boxer!
I dont say that Scott has no Skill or is a bum but I think its not enough to just have good boxing skills in this division. Also Glazkov has also some good hands and boxing skills His counter punching is superb!

 

Whose jab will prove dominant? That is the real question, and the key to victory.

Both employ the left jab with inordinate frequency for heavyweights (Scott occasionally coasting entire rounds throwing nothing but, and Glazkov more than doubling the division average in connected jabs per round against Hamer) and both have sharp ones. Scott's is maybe slightly faster at their respective peak velocity, although Glazkov uses a lot of speed variation with his.

 

A Jab is just not enough to win a fight!
A jab has a special task! A jab has to confuse your oppnent AND also can do some damage if it is throwed with power and if you step forward by throwing your jab! But the major reason to throw a jab is to confuse your opponent in order to start a combination! It is even not important if you land the jab on the face or if it is blocked by the gloves! (sometimes you get hit with your own gloves by blocking shots )
But Scott altough he has a good jab he has not the power to reach the final aim wich a jab has! Wich is to start a powerful combination! Many times he is just throwing his jab and not even starts a combination!
This is maybe good enough to dominate the likes of Tupou but a good and strong Heavyweight (wich Glazkov is) will not be impressed by an opponent who throws jabs without even trying to start a combination and with the power of Scott.
I saw fights from Scott where his only thing he did was throwing his jab all night long! This is why he has so few knockouts!

 

Uh, no.

That is a gross oversimplification.

A jab can be a primary scoring tool, and the predominant one used in a particular match - as I feel might well be the case here. I expect some uppercuts by Glazkov making his way inside, and some right hand leads to the body - but by and large this will be a tactical affair with each trying to establish ring generalship by maneuvering into favorable positions and putting out sharper jabs.

Glazkov himself possesses an excellent jab, so even if the complexion of the match does play out the way I suspect with minimal opportunity for power punches or body work due to constant turning and distance - Slava will still be able to hang with Malik in that sort of contest. Then it comes down to who's got the better footwork, timing and aim as they circle and jab.

 

think it's time for a poll.
with options like;
Glazzy by T/KO/RTD, PTS
Scotty by 80-72, TD or injury and of course the Draw. :yep

 

I dont know if you box your self or not.... but the task of a jab is to start a combination and confuse your opponent!
You make points on the cards when your jab lands and it can make the difference in a fight but just throwing jabs is simply not enough to win a fight against an strong opponent! If Scott wants to win he has to start combinations after his jab. If he fights like he did mostly in his fights (throwing just a Jab) he will lose. It is that simple! Glazkov wont be impressed by Scott when Scotts is just throwing Jabs all night long!
And when your opponent is not impressed by you and does not fear your punches because he knows you have no power or you are just throwing jabs like stuipid you will lose when your opponent is on the same competition level like you!
Every box trainer tells you that!
At the end of the day you want your opponent out there and hurt! A jab ist not enough do get this goal!

 

Or simply to ****ing score, by itself, just a jab.

 

or knock someone out with it, Pulev style :yep

 

I said nothing different!
But if you just throw jabs all night long (not with the intention to start combinations and power punches but only to score) you will mostly lose against an equal skilled boxer (wich Glazkov is in my opinion!)
And this is Scotts main problem! It wont be enough to just throw your jab with the intenion to score on the cards! Scott throws a jab after a jab after a jab after a jab and so on! I dont think that this will be enough! Sometimes he Scotts throws good combinations with good handspeed but he needs to do it more fequently if he wants to win.

 

Yeah!^^ But it is not fair if you compare Pulev with Scott! At least Pulevs starts good combinations after his jabs (more then Scott).
Two quit jobs from Dimitrenko and Ustinov.... but there was a big difference in class.... there wont be in the fight Scott against Glazkov I think.

 

Not only... Pulevs throws everything you can throw in a boxing fight!
I think it was just that they both knew (Dimi and Ustinow) that Pulev was just too strong for them:smoke
