Also today, Ondrej Pala, Denis Bahktov, and Vladimir Virchis scored wins over European opponents.

In only his second pro fight, 2008 Olympian Vyacheslav Glazkov defeated an opponent with 28 wins and 16 KOs, Alexey Varakin. Edited by: Parody

On Saturday, Ondrej Pala faces negro journeyman Robert Hawkins, who has been in with many of the best heavyweights of the past decade and has a win over fringe contender Dominic Guinn.

Konstantin Airich will face Alexey Mazikin on the same card:

Rene Dettweiler will fight age 21 Edmund Gerber on Saturday Jan 30.
From Fightnews

Unbeaten heavyweight Edmund Gerber (10-0, 7 KOs) surprisingly crushed Rene Dettweiler (25-3, 12 KOs) in round two. The bout was waved off by referee Ingo Barabas after Dettweiler was savaged by a series of right hands that sent him crashing to the deck. Time was :41.

That's amazing. Dettweiler has never been stopped before, or as far as I know, even been down in a fight.

Gerber is just age 21. The sky is the limit for him!

From fightnews:

It took heavyweight banger Magomed Abdusalamov (7-0, 7 KOs) just 84 seconds to completely demolish hugely overmatched Kenyan Raymond Ochieng (20-10-3, 17 KOs) in what turned to be a horrible mismatch. Ochieng was floored three times after looping right hands and showed no will and no ability to resist Abdusalamov's powerful onslaught. The Dagestani is yet to see the second round.

In what was advertised as the main event of the evening, Uzbek stylist Timur Ibragimov (27-2-1, 15 KOs) acquired a vacant IBA intercontinental heavyweight title with the third-round stoppage of Tanzanian Awadh Tamim (11-2, 6 KOs). Tamim was down three times before the bout was stopped by referee Jon Schorle.

I hope Kretschmann wins. DWFs seem to have a hatred for "true" German fighters.

On Friday in Chicago Krzysztof Zimnoch 1-0(1) will face Dustin Hedrick 1-3. Zimnoch defeated Deontay Wilder as an amateur.

Grzegorz "The Steel Pole" Kielsa 11-0(5) will face Neven Pajkic 11-0(5) for the Canadian Heavyweight title.

I'm hoping Ondrej Pala fights another top 50 heavyweight next time out, so he'll receive a ranking from one or more of the sanctioning organizations.

I like this matchup.

It's always good for the younger boxers to fight experienced former contenders. Whitaker is about 6" taller than Fedosov, so it will be interesting to see how he deals with that.

Looks like Pulev pulled out. I wonder if he's injured?

Nice to see Taras is getting a confidence-building fight after two devastating losses.

Good to see the German promoters are keeping some heavyweights active. Most Don King heavyweights rarely have an opportunity to fight.

Good to see Platov fighting again. Sauerland has been matching him up bad! But this Oloukum is a good fight for olag...
