I've always wondered freedom when you post these foreign links, what country is the website from?

From many: Poland, Ukraine, Germany, and Russia. The best is the Ukrainian/Russian site boxingnews.com.ua.ru.

Boxingscene and fightnews are often have the same articles in English, but a day or so later (like the Marriusz Wach's sad confession article). And sometimes I have the fights on my heavyweight schedule a day or two before BoxRec (they don't have Mike Perez vs. TBA yet, and I had Bogdan Dinu's last fight on here more than two weeks before BoxRec).

I don't read any languages other than English, I just use Google Translate.

By the way, I know where to find links to livestreams streams to most important fights, especially those in Europe. So if you are ever looking for one, contact me by PM before the fight.

I've never used google translate cos I don't really read the foreign websites. Ill have a look at them soon though. I usually use wiziwig or firstrow sports, they usually cover all fights. If I ever need another one ill give you a shout.

I use those and several others.

There are legal streams too: Russia TV2 and Ukraine's INTER televise a lot of fights, and stream them on their websites for the public. Germany's BILD.de used to stream Universum's entire fightcards, may not now that Universum is bankrupt.

Vyacheslav Glazkov vs. Malik Scott is set for Feb 23.

NBC is putting on some quality matchups.

Vyacheslav Glazkov-Malik Scott Set For February 23 - Boxing News


Another article on the fight here:

Happy to see Glazkov, but not vs. Scott - Dan Rafael Blog - ESPN

Heavyweight prospect Vyacheslav "Czar" Glazkov (14-0, 10 KOs), a 2008 Olympic bronze medalist from Ukraine, got tremendous exposure in his last fight when he made Tor Hamer quit after four rounds in the opening bout of the return of boxing to NBC on Dec. 22.

Glazkov will look to build on that solid performance when he headlines the Feb. 23 edition of NBC Sports Net’s “Fight Night” series.

The downside, however, is that Glazkov, 28, has been matched with 35-year-old Malik Scott (35-0, 12 KOs), who has a sterling record but has built it against 35 nobodies and put more people to sleep than Ambien. I’ve been hard on Scott through the years. I admit it. I hung the nickname “80-72” on him because so many of his fights -- against overmatched opponents -- went the distance and he won by shutout rather than even remotely try to press the action. It’s a real shame, too, because Scott has the size and the skills but has never shown an ounce of fire in the ring. Even when in total control, he refuses to try to stop his opponent.

After more than a three-year-layoff, Scott returned last February and made a halfway decent fight (by his low standards, anyway) in an -- you guessed it -- 80-72 decision against Kendrick Releford on Showtime Extreme. I tried to give him another chance, but then, two fights later, Scott absolutely stunk the joint out again in a lame eighth-round TKO win against Bowie Tupou (who injured his arm, which caused the end of the fight) in September on the Andre Ward-Chad Dawson undercard. The fight was so bad, the crowd was booing before the first round was over. I watched the whole fight at ringside. I’ll never get that half hour of my life back.

So I feel for Main Events matchmaker Jolene Mizzone. She did not want to make Glazkov-Scott. She tried hard to make a more fan-friendly match. She told me she offered the fight to 11 different heavyweights before having no other choice but to take Scott. Those other guys did not want to face Glazkov or were not happy with the money or both. Heavyweights such as Magomed Abdusalamov, Travis Kauffman, Joe Hanks, David Rodriguez and Franklin Lawrence all turned it down.

So now we’re stuck with Glazkov-Scott. Maybe, for once, Scott will fight with a shred of passion. He doesn’t deserve it, but Scott is going to be on national TV. If he isn’t going to fight with passion then, when will he ever?

Whatever he does, I’m not worried because I refuse to watch the fight live. I’ll DVR it, watch the Showtime card that is on opposite “Fight Night” and then find out the result of Glazkov-Scott before speeding through it. I’ve watched too many terrible Scott fights to be suckered again.

[Rantcatrat]

Glazkov vs. Scott isn't a bad fight at all. I understand Scott is a technician, but it's a good step up for both guys.

Deontay Wilder will face Matthew Greer on Jan 19.

Deontay Wilder vs. Matt Greer on 1/19

Heavyweight Deontay “Bronze Bomber” Wilder, 26-0 (26ko) returns to the ring just a month removed from his last bout, an impressive 3rd round one-punch stoppage over previously undefeated Kelvin Price on Showtime TV. The overhand right was listed as one of Showtime’s “Knockouts of the Year 2012″.

Wilder is slated to face Matt “Gator” Greer in a scheduled 8-rounder on a Golden Boy/Pepe Gomez promoted card from Villahermosa, Tabasco January 19th. The show will be televised in Mexico by Televista and in the United States on Fox Espanol. No word on whether the Wilder bout will be part of the telecast. The main event pits Sergio Thompson against Moises Castro for the WBC Silver Super Featherweight Title.

Greer, of St. Louis, Missouri is 15-8 (13ko) and coming off a win in his previous bout. His last opponent of note, Dennis Boytsov (31-0) stopped him in six rounds in Germany. Greer was scheduled to fight undefeated Cuban Mike Perez but opted for the Wilder fight instead.

For his part, Wilder has maintained a busy pace, mixing in six bouts in 2012 between sparring assignments with the likes of Wladimir Klitschko, Malik Scott, Audley Harrison and Tony Thompson.

“We were asked if we wanted to fight in Mexico and of couse said yes,” said Wilder’s trainer/manager Jay Deas. “Deontay has avid fans in Mexico from two previous fights there and promoter Pepe Gomez has been good to us. Deontay is always in the gym so we’re able to take fights on short notice. We found out about this on Wednesday and will fly out just a few days later. As for Greer we know he’s a puncher and game. We’re glad he stepped up to the challenge where others turned it down. This is short notice for Greer and us as well.”

Stated Wilder, “I’m always ready to fight. They have great fans in Mexico and I look forward to fighting for them. As you know, I’m the WBC Continental Americas Heavyweight Champion and the WBC is based in Mexico. Viva Mexico!!”

Team Wilder, which includes Deas, former two time World Champion Mark Breland and Canadian Russ Anber will fly out Tuesday, Jan. 15th.

Fair enough for Wilder taking that fight early in the year, but after he knocks him out I hope he fights somebody respectable.

Heavyweight contender Tyson Fury back in March for US debut

World Boxing News: Peter Fury: No venue for Tyson's US debut yet, but he will fight a young opponent!

Plans for Tyson Fury to fight on March 17th in New York City are not yet finalised, according to the fighter’s trainer Peter - although the former Irish champion’s US debut is still set to go ahead.

The highly-ranked WBC contender, who is said to be ready for his world title test this year, was touted to fight on St. Patricks’ Day at ‘The Big Apple’ but continues to await more details of the Stateside contest.

“ USA will be the next venue for Tyson,” Peter Fury told World Boxing News.

“A date and opponent are not yet confirmed, but Tyson will be out again in March as he builds towards fighting for the heavyweight championship of the world.”

Fury then went on to have a slight dig at his nephew’s arch-rival David Price by cheekily stating: “And I can tell you this, Tyson will be fighting a young opponent,” in a verbal jab at the British champion’s recent challengers Matt Skelton and Audley Harrison.

Fury, 24, is in-line to face the winner of the upcoming WBC title eliminator between Chris Arreola and Bermane Stiverne next month and is currently scouting American foes for his spring bout before looking towards the Klitschko brothers.

I like Arreola and Stiverne over Fury.
