By Stanley White: Former WBO cruiserweight champion Krzysztof Glowacki (29-1, 18 KOs) survived a 5th round knockdown to come back to defeat 31-year-old Ukrainian prospect Serhiy Radchenko (6-1, 1 KOs) in winning an 8 round unanimous decision on Saturday night at the Hala Nysa, ul. Sudecka 23 in Nysa, Poland.
By Jim Dower: In a surprisingly easy victory, unbeaten #1 WBO challenger Oleksandr Usyk (10-0, 9 KOs) defeated World Boxing Organization cruiserweight champion Krzysztof Glowacki (26-1, 16 KOs) by a one-sided 12 round unanimous decision on Saturday night to capture his title in front of Glowacki’s own fans at the 119-109, 117-111, 117-111. Boxing News 24 scored the fight 10 rounds to 2 in favor of Usyk.
It was supposed to be a close affair, but the 29-year-old Usyk’s height, reach, speed and boxing ability was far too good for the 30-year-old Polish fighter Glowacki.
Usyk, a 2012 Olympic gold medalist from Ukraine, used his jab and movement to neutralize the power of the southpaw Glowacki in the early going. Glowacki was cut on the side of his right eye in the 3rd round from a clash of heads. The cut continued to bleed for the remainder of the contest.
By Dan Ambrose: WBO cruiserweight champion Krzysztof Glowacki (26-0, 16 KOs) will inside the ring tonight in defense of his title against unbeaten Oleksandr Usyk (9-0, 9 KOs) at the Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland. This is Glowacki’s big opportunity to show if he’s for real or not. We saw him beat what many boxing fans saw as a played out Marco Huck last year, but the fight didn’t prove much other than Glowacki beating a guy that had been involved in a lot of wars.
Glowacki’s last fight against Steve Cunningham war hardy an impressive performance. Glowacki was getting outworked by the 40-year-old Cunningham all throughout the fight. If not for Glowacki getting knockdowns in rounds 2, 10 and 12, he would have lost the fight. That’s pretty hard to believe.
By Patrick McHugh: WBO cruiserweight champion Krzysztof Glowacki (26-0, 16 KOs) made weight successfully on Friday in weighing in at 199.3 pounds for his title defense against mandatory challenger Oleksandr Usyk (9-0. 9 KOs) for their fight this Saturday night at the Ergo Arena, in Gdansk, Poland.
Usyk, 29, weighed in at 198.7lbs. The Glowacki-Usyk will be televised on Sky Sports in the UK. The promoters for the event are Warriors Boxing and Sferis Promotions/Babilon Promotions.
By Allan Fox: Boxing fans are going to get a chance to see whether WBO Cruiserweight titlist Krzysztof Glowacki (26-0, 16 KOs) is for real or not when he defends his WBO title against #1 challenger Oleksandr Usyk (9-0, 9 KOs) this Saturday night at the Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland.
Glowacki will be fighting at home in front of friendly audience but it might not help him, because Usyk appears to be the real thing. The 2012 Olympic gold medalist from Ukraine has the size, punching and the boxing ability to beat Glowacki in front of his own fans. Glowacki has won his last two fights on the road against Steve Cunningham and Marco Huck in the United States.

By Eric Baldwin: This Saturday night, undefeated World Boxing Organization cruiserweight champion Krzysztof Glowacki (26-0, 16 KOs) could be making the toughest fight of his career against unbeaten #1 WBO Oleksandr Usyk (9-0, 9 KOs) on September 17 at the Ergo Arena, Gdansk, Poland.
This will be Glowaski’s second defense of his WBO title after he recently defeated 40-year-old former IBF cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham by a 12 round unanimous decision last April at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
By Gerardo Granados: After have witnessed a couple of horrendous robberies at the summer Olympics, now we the fight fans, will get ready to continue our boxing year. With at least three bouts worth of attention on this month, because one of those could be able to challenge the Francisco Vargas versus Orlando Salido fight of the year award.
No, I am not talking about the most hyped, nor the most publicized by major media, even less I am referring of two upcoming bouts that have the potential to end with the knockout of the year award, due that those are also in contention for the mismatch of the year.
