By Mark Fletcher: I have always had respect for any boxer, what with the training and dedication that he or she put into the sport but the ones stand out for me are those who when not in the gym hitting the bag are grafting either outdoors or in a factory to help make ends meet.
Tom Glover
Amar stops Glover – Boxing Results
By Nate Anderson: Making his first defense of his BBBofC English welterweight title, champion Adnan Amar (23-1, 7 KO’s) completely dominated Tom Glover (9-7-3), defeating him by a 5th round stoppage on the undercard of the Super Six tournament bout between WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch and challenger Andre Dirrell on Saturday night at the Trent FM Arena, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire. Glover, 28, was never able to overcome the three inch height advantage of champion Amar, and ended up taking a one-sided beating for five rounds. Listed as 5’9 1/2″, Amar had much longer arms that Glover and was able to stand at a distance and pound him with jabs and hooks throughout the five rounds of the fight.
O’Donnell too much for Glover
By Nate Anderson: Commonwealth welterweight champion John O’Donnell (22-1, 10 KO’s) easily defeated Tom Glover (9-6-3) on Saturday night, breaking his nose and stopping him in the 6th round at the Colosseum, Watford, Hertfordshire. It was a case of O’Donnell, 23, of having too much height skill and being much too sharp for the slower, weaker Glove to compete against.
Glover Defeats Thaxton
By Nate Anderson: Former European Boxing Union (EBU) and British lightweight (BBBofC) champion Jonathan Thaxton (34-10, 19 KO’s) continued with his recent struggles in the ring, losing an eight round referee’s decision to Tom Glover (9-5-3) by a 77-76 score on Saturday night at the York Hall, in Bethnal Green, London. Thaxton, 34, came into the fight having lost two out of his last three fights, started off well against Glover but then quickly ran out of gas and began pushing his punches by the 4th round.
