Tom Glover?
Tom Glover?
Whatever happened to him? Always matched tough (Amar and O'Donnell being a step too far), but pulled off some great results. Has he packed it in?
Re: Tom Glover?
I heard he was doing a cage fight soon.
Re: Tom Glover?
Ah, shame, thought he still had plenty to offer the sport and had made some decent improvements.

Re: Tom Glover?
Toms boxing back on the unlicensed shows I hear. That's where I boxed tom twice & he sold a great ticket . You can get 50% of your ticket sale money as your purse so he won't do bad . Had probs with his hooter so against that opposition he,ll be better off. Fair play , good lad

Re: Tom Glover?
Only saw him box three times, but he was great to watch, especially against Thaxton. Good, come forward fighter with plenty of cahonas.

Re: Tom Glover?
I saw him box Thacko at the York Hall, he was noticeably bigger and Thaxton couldn't budge him, he was much stronger.

Re: Tom Glover?
He was on a good run at one point. Beating Siddique by dq then Thaxton but the challenge against O'Donnell was a bit too far. Shame cos he's an entertaining fighter.
Re: Tom Glover?
He fought in a cage fight on Saturday 19th - He knocked the bloke sparko.

Dodgy, vid, but pretty brutal
Re: Tom Glover?
The Glover cage fight was a disgraceful match.When his opponent Marty Kayes boxed as a pro he was about a bantamweight and never won in about 15 contests
Re: Tom Glover?
Potter was sitting across from me at the YH when Larry fought McD. He looked like he was in serious shape. While he was never particularly "big" as a pro, he certainly has a much different body shape now he's fighting in MMA. What's changed?

Re: Tom Glover?
If Mark land clean he will do most MMA fighters in Uk. the problem will be when he is on the ground against someone with better skills

Re: Tom Glover?
He was like that on the unlicensed circuit. Massive & cut. Looked great in bashing them lads half he's size with no boxing exp , good fighter but the matchmaker should have been lynched
Re: Tom Glover?
didn't know they actually had matchmakers in mma. Not my thing at all.
