Charles Martin stops Glazkov

Charles Martin (23-0-1, 21 KO) captured a version of the heavyweight title as he won a technical decision stoppage over Vyacheslav "Czar" Glazkov (21-0-2, 13 KO) in a co-featured Showtime boxing card in Brooklyn.

The taller Martin used his height and size advantage fighting tall against a smaller opponent in Glaskov. In the first two rounds, both fighters started slow and worked from the outside.

Early in the third round, Glazkov slipped and as he stands up looked like something was wrong with his leg. In the final sequence, Glazkov threw a punch to the body and Martin countered a right hand that landed on Glazkov's gloves. But Glazkov fell down on the canvas and in tremendous pain, motioning to his knee. The referee initiated the mandatory count to signal an official knockdown. Glazkov told the referee that he's unable to continue.

It was later found out by the ringside doctor that the injury was possibly a torn ACL. Right after the fight, Glazkov left the arena for medical attention.

Martin is now the second American that captured a piece of  the heavyweight title.

Garrett Wilson in an entertaining fight against Vyacheslav Glazkov on NBC

Despite being named to replace Tomasz Adamek in a four days notice, Garrett Wilson showed his entertaining factor against Vyacheslav Glazkov on Saturday afternoon on NBC.

Although, Wilson lost the fight against a taller and bigger Glazkov, he (Wilson) showed how to win the crowd (at least for the crowd) how to fight, and how to entertained, which is the most important for the fight fans.

In the early going it is obvious that he will be dominated by a much agile and skilled undefeated slugger from Ukraine. But Wilson 13-7-1- (KO 7), is dangerous throughout the fight.

Most of his sweeping power hooks missed its target, but Glazkov 16-0-1 (KO 11), knows he's in trouble once he got caught. Glazkov fought cautiously and used his height advantage to evade those looping power shots that Wilson unleashed.

Every time Glazkov connects, Wilson will come back on his own power shots that some find mark on Glazkov chin. But those were not enough to topple the bigger opponent.

Glaskov won on the scores of 97-93, 98-92, and 99-91.
