Deontay Wilder -vs- Artur Szpilka, Glazcov -vs- Martin, Haye -vs- De Mori

[diehard]

Have a look at Glazkov's opponents, craig. Yes, he did beat Cunningham, Rossy, and Hamer. No big whoop. And the judges like him. Wouldn't want to pick this fight:

That fight holds no interest for me really, none of them do. Well maybe a little interest in how David Hayes looks, but he needs to do something special over several fights to make up for his debacle against Klit.

Just taking a quick look at Martin's record and judging solely on the opponent's record it looks like Alexander Flores stands out with a 14-0 record before the fight.  No idea how good or how bad he is in reality.

If we compare to Parker's resume, there's 2 middle of the road opponents who had similar records at the time in Jason Pettaway (17-1) & Beato Costa Jr (15-1).  I think it shows that Parker's match making has been pretty good right up until Martz and Bergman who are both a step in the wrong direction (not for want of trying by Duco).

Martin does look pretty good to me, a lot better than the quality of his opponents suggests, so I think he should be able to put Glazkov in his place.

Martin's best win is against English club fighter Tom Dallas! Easy night for Glazkov. After Fury/Wlad this weekend really isn't doing heavyweight boxing any favours.

Martin has beaten Joey Dawejko, who in his very next fight beat Rossy a lot more convincingly than Glazkov did. In fact a lot of pundits thought Rossy was robbed against Glazkov.

This reminds me of the Jennings vs Ortiz resume argument (excluding amateur records). Jennings had a better resume but It didn't matter in the end because the more talented fighter won on the night.

Experience is Glazkov's big advantage but he loses out with most other intangibles.

I don't think Martin would beat Joey Dawejko in a mince and cheese pie eating contest.... Dawejko is very talented and was a real good amateur but is a poor trainer and if the wrong Dawejko turns up its a totally different fight.

Szpilka's a southpaw and looks better than the last two opponents Wilder's fought but I feel Wilder will catch him sooner or later. Wilder's an accident waiting to happen!

Glazkov has a decent amateur pedigree and has fought the better opposition although the judges have assisted him before. Martin stands too upright with his head hanging in the air for my liking. He's got a bit of pop and with his size and southpaw style he may be a bit tricky. Glazkov by decision but it really could go either way.

Haye by KO. De Mori ain't sh-t.

Alright, lock me in for a Hayemaker win by KO, round 3

How is Wilder's chin? This fellow Beniton on the ESB Forum doesn't think it's good:
