Бой начался с разведывательной дистанции обоих спортсменов.

Глейсон Тибау без разведки начинает прессинговать, а Хабиб спиной у клетки держит дистанцию и не позволяет сопернику брать полный контроль.

возвращаясь к probing, есть еще такой военный термин

прощупать оборону - probe into one's defenses

neutral  Mikhail Kropotov: Hi Gary! I believe разведка, in this asker's context, refers to actions taken during the fight, not before. Hope all's good!
