RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 08-15-2015 Sounds like a good plan, gothe. Here's the Huck fight summary. A good one. Shocker: Glowacki KOs Huck in eleven By Matt Richardson at ringside It took eight and a half months but boxing fans finally have a clear fight of the year. And it was in the cruiserweight division. In a dramatic and violent fight in which both fighters hit the canvas, Poland’s Krzysztof Glowacki upset long-reigning WBO cruiserweight champion Marco Huck by knocking him out in the eleventh round at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The fight was the co-featured bout to the Antonio Tarver-Steve Cunningham main event on the “Premier Boxing Champions” card on Spike on Friday night. Huck (38-3-1, 26 KO’s) was attempting to break the record for the most consecutive cruiserweight title defenses in boxing history (14) but his opponent wasn’t so agreeable. Glowacki (25-0, 16 KO’s), fighting in front of a passionate, pro-Polish crowd, hurt Huck in the first and knocked him down once in the eleventh before stopping him along the ropes in the same round. It was the fight in between Glowacki’s early and late success, however, which showed both men’s heart and courage. Glowacki was almost knocked out himself in the sixth after getting drilled with a hard left hook that left him staring up from the canvas. It was that type of fight. “The U.S. market is now open to me,” Glowacki said in the ring after the fight ended. “Fans around the world will now have to respect the cruiserweight division.” If there are more fights like his one against Huck, that probably won’t be an issue. Glowacki began the fight aggressively. He slammed Huck into the ropes with a left and in the final ten seconds of the round he rocked him in the corner with a hard right that made Huck’s legs jiggle. Glowacki continued to march forward in the second as he banged Huck to the body and head but Huck appeared to settle down on his punches in the final minute. Both men fought after the bell in the third and fourth but Huck did better in the latter after connecting with clean, flush shots. Both men exchanged big punches in the fifth as Huck began to pick up the pace as much as Glowacki dropped it. A wide left hook then dropped Glowacki on his back in the sixth. The fight appeared to be over as the Polish fighter lay on the canvas with his hands above his head but he unsteadily rose and the action was allowed to continue. “I didn’t know where I was,” Glowacki would state later on. Surprisingly, Glowacki fought back well and held his own against Huck in what turned into an all-action round. Huck and Glowacki took a breather in the first half of the seventh but then Glowacki connected with a right that drove Huck back into the ropes. Glowacki flinched coming out of a combination in the eighth and Huck jumped on him and hurt him with shots of his own. Huck also connected well with combinations in the tenth as Glowacki seemed to tire. In the eleventh, however, Glowacki awoke again. Huck attempted to land a lazy combination and soon paid the price after Glowacki connected with a left and wide right. The shots dropped Huck violently to the floor. Huck rose on clearly shaky legs and Glowacki quickly resumed battering his opponent. Huck couldn’t adequately defend himself but attempted to move out of the way anyway. Glowacki stayed on top of him, however, and connected with left hooks that snapped Huck’s head back along the ropes. As Huck continued to absorb punishment his body crumbled into the middle ropes, prompting referee David Fields to make a correct stoppage at the 2:39 mark of the round. “When there was one minute left in the eleventh I knew I had to come on strong,” said Glowacki. “I always had a thing against bullies. Huck was trying to bully me in the ring and I brought it to him. This is the biggest night of my life.” Entering round eleven, Huck was ahead 96-93, 96-93 and 95-94. RE: Heavyweight Division - gothenaki - 08-15-2015 Amazing how he came back from the 6th round knock down https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLqwZYUZQ3Y I love the way these guys stand in front of each other going "I dare ya" - the way Glowacki fought back after after the knock down was brilliant RE: Heavyweight Division - cranky - 08-18-2015 http://www.boxing247.com/press-boxing/trevor-bryan-against-derric-rossy-aug-28-on-shobox/44906 Hmmm... Looks like Rossy about to be ripped off again.... Anybody know this Samoan guy Natu Visinia? He's 11-1, and dropped Cunningham before eventually losing to him. Big opportunity if he beats boxrec #49 (& US #18) Joey Dawejko ..... RE: Heavyweight Division - Nigs - 08-18-2015 heavy hands but gasses. doesn't have much in the way of conditioning. good chin. could do something with the right trainer. RE: Heavyweight Division - cranky - 08-20-2015 Cheers Nigs. Sounds familiar... RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 08-23-2015 Browne out of action with broken thumb Doctors have confirmed that heavyweight Lucas Browne sustained a broken thumb in his fight with Julius Long last week, but that isn’t going to put him off his pursuit of the WBA heavyweight crown. The Aussie suffered the break in the first round and was forced to box one-handed until he knocked out Long in the ninth. Lucas is the current mandatory challenger for Ruslan Chagaev’s title and expects to get his shot either in late 2015 or early 2016. Chagaev is currently obligated to defend against Fres Oquendo due to an earlier court case and has been warned that he will be stripped if he fails to accommodate Browne immediately afterwards. “Well the bad news is that it was a crack in the bone,” Browne explained. “I broke it with the first right hand I threw. I felt it straight away. Luckily the doctor has said an operation isn’t necessary. I’ve got the thumb in a splint and it’s just a matter of resting it for four weeks or so and letting it heal completely. “I was contacted by Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at North Parramatta. I went down and used their Hyperbaric chamber which should really help me with the healing process. The swelling is going down and I’m looking forward to working on my cardio in the meantime.” Manager Matt Clark added, “Lucas showed a lot of heart, fighting on with a broken thumb. It wasn’t his best performance and we know that, but he still stopped an opponent who was determined and who showed up to fight. He told me his right hand hurt like hell every time he threw it. “Lucas Browne is always up for a battle though. He has an incredible will to win. We are hearing that Ruslan Chagaev and Fres Oquendo are close to finalising their fight plans and that will allow us to map out the rest of our year.” RE: Heavyweight Division - justafan - 08-24-2015 Interesting that De Mori posted on social media last week there was some really exciting news for his career coming up soon. I thought it was a fight but then I see this story today... was he really that frustrated with Don King or is he due to announce a fight? http://www.watoday.com.au/sport/boxing/perth-heavyweight-boxer-mark-de-mori-splits-with-boxing-promoter-don-king-20150824-gj63c6.html RE: Heavyweight Division - gothenaki - 08-25-2015 (08-24-2015, 10:11 PM)justafan Wrote: Interesting that De Mori posted on social media last week there was some really exciting news for his career coming up soon.

As a DK fighter, apparently he would have got a shot if Stiverne had beaten Wilder. It all went downhill after there. DK was trying to keep De Mori happy, saying it was between him and Molina for the first defense, but he really didn't have a chance. DK just doing his usual thing of gambling on fighters, and De Mori had to wait around. I heard after Wilder took the belt, that Team Parker offered a telephone book number for De Mori, and DKP said yes, but De Mori said no. Hard to know who's telling the truth with that decrepit conman It depends on what De Mori wants. If he wants a payday, Parker's the best he's going to get. RE: Heavyweight Division - cranky - 08-25-2015 Or sign with Duco for a bit longer than one fight. (They seem to have a developing Oz biz also. Both horn+de Mori in their stable would solidify that)... Get him paid for 2-3 fights down under then pitch de Mori vs Parker as a big deal... Meanwhile build the sort of audience in Australia they already have in NZ.... Using all of these fighters as draw cards... RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 08-25-2015 Looks like he wants a US promoter with an eye to a title fight. |
