I feel like it shoulda been a NC. Idk if the ref considered that punch that Martin grazed him with as a legit punch that dropped Glazkov or what or what rules were used to consider it a KO L, but I definitely don't feel the result did justice to anyone involved in the fight.

I suppose its arguable he coulda made more of an effort to try to box with one good leg, but it seemed like a losing battle as 2 legs are pretty important to have in a boxing match. And mobility was gonna be his key to winning vs Martin so all he woulda did by trying to continue was take unnecessary damage in a fight that probably shoulda just been a NC.
And I don't see it as punishing Martin. I think Martin would've liked a more conclusive & definitive ending to the fight himself. Being the guy who's a HW champion cuz some guy didn't wanna fight some other guy who got his knee injured in your fight against him & couldn't continue isn't the ideal title winning story or the greatest claim to fame a fighter wants I'm certain of that.

I would say call it a NC, and order Martin vs the next highest rated contender for the still vacant belt, and make Glazkov the mandatory when he is healed

Martin basically walked into a belt by staying on his feet for three rounds and doing nothing in his career up to that point. Wouldn't really be punishment to expect him to actually have to prove something with a victory to earn the title he shouldn't have been fighting for in the first place.
