20.8.2008:
Undisturbed by the
recent discussions about the EBU’s unfair exclusion of
superwelterweight
Attila Kovacs,
the Hungarian scored an easy marking-time win last night,
halting hometown journeyman Anton Glofak in three rounds on a LP
Promotion show in Sturovo, Slovakia. Kovacs, in improving his
record to 24-1 (17 KO’s), took it easy in the first round and
was maybe a bit too playful, but put the foot on the gas and
duely floored Glofak twice in round two. |

After the third knockdown in the next round, Hungarian referee
Miklos Döry terminated what essentially was a mismatch. “Yeah, I
could’ve possibly finish it earlier,” the 34-year-old Kovacs
confessed afterwards, “but I wanted to try a few things in there
and was actually enjoying myself.” The fight was shown on
Slovakian television and taken up by Sport1 for Hungarian
viewers.
“Attila’s next fight will allow him to make a statement, so this
was a nice warm-up,” said manager Olaf Schroeder of Fight
Production, who disclosed that he is working with Hungarian
partner Zoltan Petranyi on having Kovacs back in the ring by the
end of September, early October. |
