Anton Glofak's campaign for a drug-free Slovakia

...got underway yesterday. The Great One moved to 2-67-7 with his second career loss to 8-36-5 Patrik Prokopecz in the lone pro bout on a "Sports Against Drugs" charity card in Štúrovo.

(Rumor has it that this was just step one in the buildup to a Glofak/Priest Smalls showdown at the LP Gym; Glofak, thus confronted by the forces of evil, would surely then bring his "A" game to the table and pick up that elusive 3rd win at last.)

(Rumor also has it that Johnny "Telefutura/Telemundo/Azteca America Swing Bout God" Romero may be hitting Youtube soon. You will be kept posted.)

(P.S. Six days 'till Calloway gets vaporized.)

Rob Calloway is now reduced to fighting Jorge Kahwagi's leftovers

"Calloway to face Buck Smith!"

One of the greatest Fightnews headlines ever. (At least since "Serin ready for Williams!")

"Cruiserweight Rob Calloway's opponent for the Titan Entertainment-promoted card at the Civic Arena in St. Joseph, MO on February 24th has been named. Calloway (60-7-1, 47 KOs) will be facing 41-year-old Buck "Tombstone" Smith (178-17-2, 118 KOs), who probably has more wins than any fighter since Archie Moore and Willie Pep retired.... Unfortunately none of them have come since 1997."

Continuing in this vein, check out the footage on this page of Travis Fulton's inspired performance against Lou Savarese last month.

Grant/Savarese II, anyone?
