Good fight......Cunnigham had Glowacki looking ragged in the last few rounds but USS just couldn't stay on his feet enough.
I'd love to see Glowacki fight the Lebedev-Ramirez winner and/or the Bellew-Makabu winner. I think Usyk may also be his mandatory and that would be good too

Browne fortunate to be gifted a KD and a split decision....not impressive at all

And Spence annihilates Algieri....he looks to be a real talent and while still not the most proven it's hardly unreasonable to think he's the best at 147.

Flawless performance from Spence Jr there,it was seek and destroy from the start and he just systematically broke Algieri down,i can only remember 1 of Pacquiao's KDs of Chris being as good as any of the ones Errol scored,great showing and his 1st real introduction onto the world stage,relentless

Algieri is not that good and I think the win flatters Spence who is a fantastic prospect by the way

What will Kell Brook do now?
Suddenly moving up to fight Liam Smith will look attractive to Camp Eddie once they have done a voluntary.

Spence Jr looks the goods.
Fast, powerful and composed.
I think one of the American commentators mentioned possible future pound for pound star, thinks it's a bit early to be saying that. Don't think Brook should be running scared either. He wouldn't be able to bully Brook like that.
Good fight though.

And Khan couldn't hurt Algieri at all. He really is in trouble vs Alvarez.

Spence Jr is going to become the man at WW.
Unfortunately, it's a division that attracts the biggest duckers in boxing. Thurman, Brook, Garcia... they all enjoy a nice bit of duck so it's going to be very unlikely we see him tested against the best in the division.

Possible future super fight with Crawford?
By the time Crawford has unified with Postol and Troyanovski, Spence Jr might have established himself with a couple of big wins at Welter.
Is he now Brooks mandatory?

Kell getting his mandatory out of the way now looks shrewd.

Yeah true lol. If he is going to fight Spence he should catch him asap because he's only gonna get better. I actually don't think it's a cert Spence beats Brook. 50/50 fight atm.

Brook is an entirely different proposition to Algieri. He's a nightmare for any welter right now.

It's a great division, if only we could get any of them to fight each other.
Would love to see Spence in with Brook, it was an eye catching performance.
Brook doesn't need protecting, he is world class, so just let him fight these guys. Its so frustrating!

Finally got to see the missing 4 rounds,shame about the feed because it lost the flow of a fun fight,i had Glowacki winning 115-109,Cunningham boxed well too and maybe even better but he couldnt handle the power and going down 4 times is a near impossibility to claw back on the cards especially without scoring any knockdowns of his own
Good fight all the same

Glowacki is a beast and I think if he's more busy he will be up there with Michalczewski and Adamek as the best his country has produced.
Compact, solid and can hurt you early or late, head or body.
Loved his fight with Marco Huck, sensational. A crime they didn't win Ring mag's fight of the year. Liked his fight with Matty Askin also when he was hurt late and rebounded with a body shot KO. Askin had hit, held, head butted, tried everything and Glowacki had good poise and concentration. He's really coming on and I think he will be special.
Chuffed he's winning against the division's recognisable names Huck and Cunningham on PBC.
Will be gutted if he fucks his career by moving up to heavyweight like Adamek, who forfeited being an elite fighter once he started eating more roast potatoes...

Have you seen the winning fight, Vargas-Miura? It was excellent and I don't see how it's a crime that it was chosen over Glowacki-Huck.
Glowacki is clearly good but he didn't impress me against Cunningham. He looked ragged late, was hurt, and IMO generally got the worst of things aside from the KD rounds. His wins over Cunningham and Huck put him among the top guys at the weight, but I can see him losing to people like Lebedev, Usyk, Drozd, Briedis, the Makabu-Bellew winner, and Huck in a rematch, though he could realistically beat these guys too. One of the things I like about CW is that it's a very competitive division with a pretty evenly matched top 10, as well as guys like Mchunu and Kalenga who are probably outside that range but have the ability to trouble higher ranked fighters.

Cruiserweight has been a great action division since the Mormeck-Bell unifications. Has never failed to deliver at least one FOTY candidate per year since then.
Glowacki's layoff I think has hurt him, and Cunningham presented a different style and more mobile athlete than he's used to. And obviously Adamek got there first, dropping a prime Cunningham three times in a properly great fight.
If he fights more often, sticks to the jab and hits the body from the early rounds, I see him going from strength to strength. He's in a position to go for the most direct and interesting fights. Just needs to be more rigorous in breaking the opponents down.
YP Hernandez is like Huck another champ in tremendous fights, but each fight he makes huge errors and gets drawn into enthralling and draining wars. He must be on his last legs by now. Where has he been?
Huck and YPH have entertained me but also frustrated me. They had exciting mini rivalries but were kept away from each other. And Huck not trying to avenge the defeat to Cunningham nor giving Lebedev another shot.
Lebedev is brutal but I find him a tad pedestrian. Reckon he's kind of given up since the injury v Guillermo Jones, cashing it out in celebrity mismatches vs Toney and Jones, sad,,sick, but money generating fights. Think I,disagree on how Glowacki v Lebedev would turn out but it'd be a sensational fight.
