The IBF “title bout” between Charles Martin and Vyacheslav Glazkov was crap–as expected.

First of all, the IBF’s decision to strip Tyson Fury for not immediately facing Glazkov was laughable, so it’s only right that the title fight they ushered in for the vacant strap ended up being so horrible.

Glazkov suffered a pretty nasty injury–which is no laughing matter–but that’s not what we’re focusing on. Instead, you have a guy in Martin who by all accounts seems likable, but also seems to be out of his league against the other champs (more on that later).

Martin’s victory leaves us with yet another meaningless Heavyweight title holder.
