36 years old Tomasz "Goral" Adamek
(49-2-0(29 KO) rated number 1 in Poland and number 3 in the world will
face unbeaten Vyacheslav "The Czar" Glazkov (15-0-1(11 KO) from Ukraine,
rated number 2 in Ukraine and number 13 in the world on this Saturday,
November 16 in Turning Stone Resort, USA. This will be 12 rounds bout
with no title at stake. It will be a good test for Adamek as he believes
that by beating unbeaten Glazkov he can come closer to the world title
fight against Wladimir Klitchko.
Adamek comes to this fight after his
win by Unanimous decision against Dominick Giun(34-9-1) on August this
year. This was a one sided fight as Dominick almost stopped throwing
from round 3. Before that he won by the split decision against Steve
Cunningham(25-4) on the end of 2012.
Vyacheslav Glazkov comes to this fight
after an impressive TKO round 2 victory over "human punching bag" Byron
Polley(25-15-1) who looked completely out of shape on August this year.
Before that he was lucky with a draw against at that time unbeaten
Malik Scott(35-0) on February this year. By the way in his next fight
Malik Scitt was stopped by controversial TKO round 6 against Dereck
Chisora. In fact Glazkov clearly lost the fight against Scott but
because of his promoters influence on that fight he was gifted with a
draw.
This will be an interesting fight to
watch. Firstly it is interesting how will Adamek deal with a young pure
puncher with a big power like Glazkov also it is interesting how will
Glazkov compete with a guy from top 15 as he was usually fighting a guys
two levels below. It will be a huge step up in opposition for Glazkov.
Denis Glazkov was very carefully
matched for all his career. I believe they were thinking about the title
shot against one of the Klitchkos, but after his loss/draw against
Malik Scott it is clear that he is still in the lower class. This fight
against Tomasz Adamek is his last chance to have a big future. If he
loses against Adamek he will not have a chance to fight for a title at
least for 4 years. And even after those 4 years he will have to beat at
least 3 or 4 top 15 guys to get this title shot....
