Johnturlington: /* Vacant IBF World Heavyweight title */

<fight>2033145</fight>

*Referee: [[Michael Griffin]]

== Vacant IBF World Heavyweight title ==

* Undefeated heavyweight prospect Charles Martin wins the vacant International Boxing Federation World Heavyweight title.

* The shorter Glazkov appeared to be desperately trying to get inside on the taller Martin to no avail in the first two rounds. Martin, out of range, appeared patient to see what Glazkov would try to do. In the third round, Glazkov went down twice while throwing punches. Martin did land something both times, nothing on consequence. It appears after Glazkov punched and missed and went down the first time he might have been injured. On getting up, Glazkov through a straight right hand when the bout resume, but he appeared to tear the ACL in his right knee. Glazkov went down backwards as the right leg gave way, and rolled over face first, his right knee shot, unable to get up. The brief vacant world title bout was over.

* This should obviously be ruled a No Contest. We can only hope the IBF does the right thing!

* Dawejko scores fourth consecutive first round knockout in the heavyweight division, last accomplished by [[Shannon Briggs]] in 1992 and 2000 to 2001. [[LaMar Clark]] scored seven consecutive first round knockouts in 1958, and five consecutive first round knockouts 1959 to 1960. [[Jack Dempsey]] scored five consecutive first round Knockouts in 1918.
* Fight summary: The fighters battled in center ring. Dawejko, in the orthodox stance, pivoted his rear right foot to the left, shifting his weight as he threw a left hook through Umohette's upraised guard. Umohette fell face first to the canvas unconscious, knocked out cold at 0:27 of the first round. It was the first time in Nigerian heavyweight Umohette's career he was stopped.
* At the post fight press conference, [[Amir Mansour]], who provided ringside commentary for Go Fight Live, and Joey Dawejko discussed the developing possibility of a televised main event heavyweight 10 rounder in May 2015 between each other at 2300 Arena.

Boxrec needs to check these for historical accuracy. I can name 20 to 30 heavyweights that have knocked out 4 in a row since Shannon Briggs.

Heavyweight David Rodriguez got 'taken to school' as he went the distance for the second time in his career by the veteran Marcus McGee, winning the majority of heated exchanges in center ring-but getting hit by counter punches as well. The bout appeared close. Neither man appeared hurt, and when the eight rounder ended, the two boxers engaged in friendly conversation in midring.
