Just watched rounds 7 through 10 of the Vyacheslav Glazkov vs Malik Scott fight on Youtube. How was Glazkov doing earlier on? I didn't hear too many boos from the crowd when they announced a draw. I'm amazed that Malik has been fighting for 12 years as a pro and this might be the first time I've seen him. This kind of thing really hurts boxing. How can you build more than a local following if the only time a fighter is shown is on a ppv or specialty channel like NBC Sports? If it wasn't for Youtube a guy could think that these fighters are a fig-newton of some writer's imagination...

I checked both of the major Toronto Dailies today. Not so much as a comma about boxing. However, the Sun had a full-page on some slap and tickle MMA jamokes.
