GLORY 43 New York co-headline match-up pits Benjamin Adegbuyi against Guto Inocente
Former light heavyweight champion Saulo "Cassius Clay" Cavalari (60-5, 49 KO, fighting out of Brazil) is set to headline GLORY 43 Super Fight Series from The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, July 14.

His opponent will be No. 2-ranked powerhouse Pavel "The Caiman" Zhuravlev (70-11, 26 KO, fighting out of Ukraine), returning to the GLORY ring following a first round knockout of Zinedine Hameur-Lain at GLORY 35 Nice in November.

Cavalari is currently ranked No. 4 in the division and challenged for the light heavyweight title in his last outing. Zhuravlev holds a victory over Cavalari, earning a unanimous decision victory against the Brazilian knockout artist in 2012.

An injury to featherweight Chris Mauceri has forced him from the bout with 19-year-old Road to GLORY UK tournament runner-up Bailey "Bad Boy" Sugden (8-1, 2 KO, fighting out of the United Kingdom). Stepping in to replace Mauceri is Liberian-born Arthur "Blackdragon" Sorsor, who now trains out of nearby Connecticut.

Dikke venue! Madison Square Garden!

[appelsap]

Dikke venue! Madison Square Garden!

Die locatie verdient wel wat betere partijen.

[LightHeavyWeight]

Man man wat een treurige line up.

[pronk]

Je zou bijna denken dat het een 'Undercard' line-up is

[mario the count]

idd. Hadden wel wat dikkere partijen op mogen staan.

[BIG Lebowski]

Treurig, deze teloorgang van het Kickboksen. Ik heb de laatste gala's niet eens meer gekeken. Spijt me zeer.

[onne1983]

Ze willen amerika oh zo graag veroveren.. Toch staan de dikste line ups altijd in Europa. In Amerika valt het vaak erg tegen. Ze moeten wat meer afstand nemen van de nederlandse roots en wat verder buiten Europa scouten. Ik zou persoonlijk in Rusland wat meer zoeken, daar lopen veel talenten rond die vaak ook spectaculair vechten. Thaise jongens zijn leuk qua naam, maar hun Muaythai stijl is vaak een nadeel onder Glory regels. In japan lopen nog wat toppers rond op de lichtere gewichten, (Zoals Noiri).Maar persoonlijk vind ik het scouten van vechters bij Glory een beetje aan de zwakke kant! Kijk naar K-1, Daar hebben [COLOR=#333333]Chingiz Allazov nu binnen weten te halen, die had mooi voor Glory kunnen zijn. Spectaculair en al het talent van de wereld.Vlad Tuinov, hele jonge gozer die overal zwaar aan het huishouden is en zelfs van Massaro Glunder al heeft gewonnen, als ik bij Glory had gewerkt had ik deze jongen koste wat het kost binnen proberen te halen. In Duitsland heb je Enriko Kehl, zou ook een goede toevoeging kunnen zijn voor de 70kg divisie. Maar de divisies moeten competief gemaakt worden en wat dieper. anders kijken we over 5 jaar nog steeds naar Holzken vs Doumbe 6, Van Roosmalen vs Sittichai 8 en Verhoeven vs Adegbuyi 4.In Amerika heeft Glory Eric Haycraft rondlopen als trainer/scout. Zeer getalenteerde trainer die meer Nederlandse stijl georienteerd is ipv van de meeste gyms die meer Boksen OF Muaythai georienteerd zijn. Die zou wat budget moeten krijgen om wat talenten naar zich toe te kunnen trekken en op te leiden voor Glory.

[onne1983]

En het klinkt misschien cliche, maar als je echt de nederlandse toppers zoals Holzken, Groenhart, Van Roosmalen en andere echt wil promoten in de VS dan moeten ze op engelse les. Ze zullen nooit de waardering krijgen als er geen fatsoenlijk engels gesproken word door de mannen. en dat neppe trashtalk, waar die amerikanen zo op geilen klinkt al helemaal tenenkrommend in dat steenkolen engels..

[Eindbaas]

Glory 41 en 42 vond ik wel goed, kan natuurlijk altijd wel beter. Maar deze fightcard is inderdaad wel zwak, helemaal met zo n mooie locatie als New York.

Cavalari vs Zhuravlev wordt interim champion fight. Gaat Glory ook beginnen met interim fights??

Winner to face GLORY light heavyweight champion Artem Vakhitov to unify titles The pivotal battle between former light heavyweight champion Saulo "Cassius Clay" Cavalari (60-5, 49 KO, fighting out of Brazil) and No. 2-ranked powerhouse Pavel "The Caiman" Zhuravlev (70-11, 26 KO, fighting out of Ukraine) will now play out over five rounds, with the bout winner leaving New York City as interim GLORY light heavyweight champion.
The new interim title holder will compete in a unification bout against reigning GLORY light heavyweight champion Artem Vakhitov at a later date.
"With what is sure to be an incredible fight between two top-three light heavyweights [in Cavalari and Zhuravlev], we wanted to create stakes fitting of their ranking and the prestige of Madison Square Garden," said GLORY Matchmaker and Managing Director Sports Cor Hemmers. "Our champion Vakhitov injured his hand following GLORY 38 Chicago and is working hard toward returning later this year. In the meantime, Cavalari or Zhuravlev will be established as interim champion."
Currently ranked No. 3 in the division, Brazil's Cavalari has compiled a 7-3 record since joining the organization in 2013. Zhuravlev returns to the GLORY ring following a first round knockout of Zinedine Hameur-Lain at GLORY 35 Nice in November and holds a victory over Cavalari, earning a unanimous decision victory against the Brazilian knockout artist in 2012.
