Can someone explain to me what is happening? I mean, this fight is not included in GLORY 41 Fightcard, not included in the official weight in and still we have this -  I'm guessing local undercard, these happen at several Glory events but don't get covered. Happened last year in France as well. |

Results Part I
GLORY 41 - Den Bosch
Hesdy Gerges defeats Tomáš Hron by Unanimous Decision (30-24)
Chenglong Zhang defeats Wilson Sanches Mendes by Unanimous Decision
Heavyweight Contender Tournament
D’Angelo Marshall defeats Anderson Silva by Unanimous Decision
---
D’Angelo Marshall defeats Mohamed Abdallah by TKO R1
Anderson Silva defeats Giannis Stoforidis by KO R2
Some fun fights so far, but nothing really stood out. Good to see Hesdy pick up a win and see a relatively 'new' heavyweight win a contender tournament. Even if I don't see Marshall having much of a chance against this current Adegbuyi.
Intermission time, SFS portion kicks off in roughly 40 minutes.

Results Part II
GLORY 41 - Den Bosch - SuperFight Series
Rico Verhoeven defeats Ismael Lazaar by Unanimous Decision
Robin van Roosmalen defeats Petchpanomrung Kiatmookao by Majority Decision
Murthel Groenhart defeats Alan Scheinson by Split Decision
Mourad Bouzidi defeats Michael Duut by Disqualification (headbutts & clinching)
Tyjani Beztati defeats Youssef Assouik by Unanimous Decision (30-26)
Zakaria Zouggary defeats Yetkin Özkul by Unanimous Decision
First two fights were really fun. Bouzidi/Duut had an unfortunate ending caused by Duut's behaviour. Another one of those lesser performances by Murthel in a fight you'd expect him to win by KO. RvR/Petchpanomrung was the big surprise for me. Not the prettiest fight, but I didn't expect RvR to have much trouble at all when he clearly did. Lazaar vs Verhoeven went more or less like expected. Lazaar survived and was able to tag Rico a few times, but that's about it.
All in all a decent event, but the later fights never really reached the entertainment level of Beztati/Assouik and Zouggary/Özkul.

What did you guys think of the open scoring?
Usually I'd be for it but I'm assuming we can't have it on the US events and if that's the case then I'd rather not have it here either. Don't like adding elements visible to the audience on the broadcasts we then can't have on all the events. Affects the commentary too.
Going from 5 to 3 judges between Euro-US events I don't think is as bad cause it isn't really thrown in front of the viewers as much, just better for the fighters.

I like the open scoring, but like you said only if they (can) do it in every event regardless of where in the world it's being held.
Having open scoring doesn't make a significant difference to me, but if they implement something they should do it consistently.
We'd have to see over the course of a few events if it truly makes a notable difference to the fights themselves which is where it really counts.

watching now the gerges-hron fight for the first time and the first two knockdowns were obvious dives from hron. The first knockdown was a short hook that barely landed and the second knockdown another short hook that landed only partially. Plus gerges never dropped anyone with his punches before.

Hron isn't the type to fake going down. You could argue that both knockdowns seemed more like flash knockdowns and Hron recovered quickly, but the fact that he didn't at all protest either of the counts tells me they were legit. While granted, Hesdy isn't known to drop people with punches this is still heavyweight and Hesdy dropping someone with punches isn't out of this world. I recall him dropping Fujimoto with punches twice in somewhat similar fashion.
Let's not forget Hron took this fight on less than a week's notice so it's natural he wouldn't look at his best. If Hron really wanted a way out he just needed to go down one more time that round and it would've been over. Seems very strange for someone to deliberately go down twice, but then fight on to the final bell.
