Bethlehem, PA: "Czar" Glazkov did what only two out of 51 men before him managed to do - defeat veteran brawler Tomasz "Goral" Adamek. In a twelve round unanimous decision the 29 year-old Olympic Bronze Medalist from Lugansk, Ukraine (17-0-1, 11 KOs) remains undefeated as he upsets the 37 year-old veteran from Gilowice, Poland, Tomasz "Goral" Adamek (49-3-0, 29 KOs) to win the NABF North American Heavyweight Title and secure the #2 position in the IBF. Two judges scored the bout 117-111 and one judge scored the bout 116-110. Glazkov landed an amazing 37% (212 of 580) of his shots on the veteran Adamek, who landed only 21% (161 of 761). Czar said, "I would like to thank Main Events and Kathy Duva for giving me this opportunity and taking me to this road. I also want to thank Tomasz Adamek for taking this bout and giving me this opportunity. He was risking more than I did. Tomasz was not a guy who was backing up, he was coming forward. It was a very good bout."\
Adamek vs. Glazkov

The standing room only crowd at Sands Resort Casino in Bethlehem, PA was battling to see who could scream louder for their hero with the "Adamek" chants only slightly overpowering the "Glazkov" cheers. Glazkov controlled the first round with his jab and did not let Adamek do much. Glazkov was landing some big shots. Adamek started to gain momentum in the third but then his right eye started to swell in the fourth. Things started to slow down in the sixth round. Then Glazkov landed some heavy shots in the seventh; Adamek did too but he was not as effective. Adamek's face looked significantly worse as the fight wore on, but he still managed to land some key shots. According to Compubox, in the last two rounds Adamek out-landed Glazkov 55-38 in total punches and 32-22 in power punches, though it was not enough to overcome Glazkov.
Main Events' CEO Kathy Duva said, "This is a passing of the torch. Glazkov did everything he absolutely had to do to win this fight against a very tough and very accomplished opponent. Tonight he announced his arrival to everyone that he belongs among the top five heavyweights. Adamek is someone who has been a top ten heavyweight for the last six to ten years. I am really at a loss to say who amazed me more."
Grachev vs. Chilemba

The international show on NBCSN Fight Night began with a ten round light heavyweight war between #2 Isaac "Golden Boy" Chilemba (22-2-2, 9 KOs) of Johannesburg, South Africa and #7 Denis "The Pirate/Drago's Son" Grachev (13-3-1, 8 KOs) of Chaykoysky, Russia. Chilemba dominated over Grachev and won via unanimous decision. Two judges scored the fight 99-91 and one scored the fight 100-90 all in favor of Chilemba. According to Compubox, Chilemba averaged 13 jabs connected per round, which is more than double the division average. Chilemba landed an astounding 42% (326 of 772) of his punches compared to 18% (108 of 587) for Grachev. Chilemba said, "I am feeling good, it was great. I knew he was going to be tough but I was pleased with the outcome."
The first round started slow as both guys were feeling each other out. Grachev was really coming forward, but Chilemba was able to keep the distance, utilizing his jab. There were a lot of great exchanges with both men landing big shots. Chilemba was controlling the fight, however, with his jab. Grachev got a bad cut by the corner of his left eye that continued to bleed for the duration of the fight. Both men looked battered at the end of this exciting brawl.

The much-anticipated ten round welterweight fight for local bragging rights between Ronald Cruz (20-3-0, 15 KOs) of Bethlehem, PA and Kermit Cintron (35-5-2, 28 KOs) of Reading, PA certainly had this sold-out crowd making noise. Cruz and Cintron did not disappoint their hometown crowd with a brutal battle that was almost too close to call. Despite having the majority of the crowd support, Cruz could not overcome Cintron. Cintron edged out Cruz for the unanimous decision with all three judges scoring the bout 96-94. Cruz's connect rate was higher, landing 34% of his total punches thrown compared to 22% for Cintron, but both landed almost the same number of punches with Cintron connecting on 154 of 703 and Cruz connecting on 152 of 453.

The Crossroads: Adamek vs. Glazkov March 15th Live on NBCSN Fight Night 9:00 PM ET |
Bethlehem, PA: With tickets sold out for the much-anticipated heavyweight battle between Tomasz "Goral" Adamek (49-2-0, 29 KOs) and Vyacheslav "Czar" Glazkov (16-0-1, 11 KOs) at Sands Casino Resort in Bethlehem, PA, the only place to catch the fight for the IBF North American Heavyweight Title and IBF #2 Eliminator is on NBCSN Fight Night at 9:00 PM ET/6:00 PM PT on March 15th. The fight, billed "The Crossroads", is a must-win for both fighters, with each having something to prove.
Adamek, a top five heavyweight, is headed towards the twilight of a stellar career. He was a world champion as a light heavyweight and a cruiserweight but the title of world heavyweight champion has eluded him. The 37 year old has lost only twice in over fifty career fights; one of them at the hands of Vitali Klitschko in his first shot at the heavyweight crown, a tenth round TKO for the WBC World Heavyweight Championship. The winner of his fight with Glazkov will hold the IBF North American Heavyweight Title and will be rated #2 in the IBF heavyweight ratings. Adamek hopes to earn another chance at the world title by handing the young prospect his first defeat. Tomasz knows what's at stake with this fight, "I want to win this fight and be #2. I want to be #1 and fight Wladimir Klitschko. I lose to his brother and this would be my chance for a rematch. I want to show that two years ago with his brother was my mistake. I want to be mandatory."
Glazkov, 29, needs to prove he belongs among the elite in the heavyweight division. With this fight, the 2008 Olympic Bronze medalist will look to take on his first top-ranked opponent and keep his undefeated record intact. Despite Glazkov's excellent amateur record, he knows Adamek has experience on his side and that age is sometimes just a number when he said, "In the heavyweight division anything under 40 is still considered to be of fighting age. That is why I am not going to discount his age or his experience." He promises to be ready on March 15th, "I have prepared myself the most for this fight and we will see what happens after that."
The crossroads showdown was originally scheduled for the special afternoon edition of Fight Night on NBC on November 16, 2013. When Adamek fell ill with the flu just days before the fight, Garrett "The Ultimate Warrior" Wilson stepped in at the last minute and put on a game performance against Glazkov, entertaining close to one million viewers. Czar defeated Wilson in ten rounds via unanimous decision. Now the showdown between Glazkov and Adamek is finally going to take place on March 15th and NBCSN Fight Night is the only place to catch it live.
"We are excited to showcase a title bout featuring top-tier competitors that our Fight Night audience has become familiar with over the past few years," said Gary Quinn, vice president of programming & planning for NBC and NBCSN.
Kathy Duva, the promoter of both fighters and CEO of Main Events, said, "When Adamek fell ill in November, we were all devastated. Everyone was excited for the fight. It's wonderful that we've been able to reschedule it and give Fight Night fans the fight they really want to see." About March 15th: The March 15th edition of NBCSN Fight Night at Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem features the twelve-round heavyweight match-up between Tomasz "Goral" Adamek and Vyacheslav "Czar" Glazkov for the IBF North American Heavyweight Title and IBF #2 Position Eliminator.
