K2 seems to always be able to reach an agreement.

Another good cruiserweight fight. Home advantage could be important for Glowacki.

NICE! Very good matchup. I look forward to this one. I'll be picking Usyk, but it should be a great action fight.

Great fight.

I'm edging towards Glowacki. Really impressed me against Cunningham. Looks very solid and good in all areas.

It sucks that we won't be able to see this fight on TV in North America. Should be good one. I was hoping they would do it in US and some network would pick it up.

Usyk doesn't impress me as much as he does other people for some reason.

Same here.

I still think Usyk has a solid chance of winning, but with the fight occurring in Poland I lean toward Glowacki by decision.

Guess at 29 he has to go for it, but this is a huge step up after only 9 fights, having never gone past 9 Rds and after 9 months out .

Did anyone see the Huck fight? All 3 judges had huck winning when stoppage came, fair reflection?

Usyk looks the bollocks and has amateur pedigree to back it up. Huge fight this though!

The fight will show how good Usyk is. We have seen many amateur stars who didn't get to top in professionals.

Win Lose or Draw he'll learn more in this fight than he would beating up another 10-15 mid level pros .
We've seen a lot of supposed amateur "stars" not make it. But Usyk isnt just a one medal wonder, hes an all time amateur great. Amateur record of 400-10 world and Olympic gold.

Age against him, so pleased he's stepping up quick. Too big a step?

Too big a step in my opinion. Glowacki looks the real deal and has looked impressive in his last two fights.
No weaknesses for Glowacki he's a solid all round fighter who I predict will be too strong for Usyk and win on points.

He's cost me a fortune as I thought Huck and Cunningham would beat him on points .

Huck was definitely ahead, really good fight.

I don't think he looked too good against Cunningham and I thought USS won 5-6 rounds despite all the knockdowns. Glowacki seemed to tire late and looked pretty ragged over the last 4 or so, even being hurt by Cunningham at one point after dropping him earlier in the round. It's a bit ironic that we can point to him finishing strong against Huck and USS, as for the most part he faded notably in both fights and didn't show a particularly good engine.

That said, he did show his sharp countering abilities at times and his ability to come back from rough patches. Usyk looked pretty mediocre when Danie Venter, who is obviously much worse than Glowacki, adopted a counter-punching approach against him, so I can see Usyk having major issues if Glowacki does the same.

He had both down late which suggests he Carries his power late and is a accumulator puncher as opposed to a one punch artist.

Really good fight this. Glowacki is good but beatable and Usyk is still a unknown quantity at top professional level.

Finally we will see what Usyk is made of. Glowacki is good but beatable. I think Usyk can do it..

Crsuierweight is really delivering for the sport at the moment. I do love this fight as we finally see what Usyk can do at the top level.

Part of me wants Glowacki to win as he would be more likely to take the Lebedev fight.
