By Scott Gilfoid: American heavyweight Malik Scott (36-2-1, 13 KO’s) doesn’t know where people are coming from with their speculation that he took a dive in the 1st round in getting knocked out by the 6’7″ contender Deontay Wilder (31-0, 31 KO’s) last Saturday night in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Malik says that his knockout loss to the powerful Deontay was a direct result of a left hook that nailed him on the temple.
The shot that Deontay landed against Scott would have likely knocked out anyone in the division due to the perfect extension and placement that he got into the punch. Not only did Deontay get full extension on his huge 83″ reach, but he also placed the punch perfectly to the right temple area of Scott. Deontay placed that punch like a surgeon to an area where the chances of Scott surviving the punch was slim and none.

By Dan Ambrose: Open scoring will be used for tonight’s fights between Deontay Wilder and Malik Scott, and Danny Garcia and Mauricio Herrera, according to Fightnews. The World Boxing Councils rules will be in play, and one of them is open scoring unfortunately. The scores will be read after the 4th and 8th rounds, which will take away any suspense at all in the fights. The only thing good about is it will likely only affect the Garcia-Herrera fight, because Scott will not be around by the end of the 4th round.
