Last night in Nigeria, cruiserweights Brandon Glanton and Marcus Browne engaged in a fun to watch slugfest, albeit a largely one-sided one. “Bullet Proof” Glanton hammered away at Browne, most effectively with uppercuts, and after six completed rounds Browne had had the fight beaten out of him and he stayed on his stool at the start of round-seven.
Glanton, who bounces back from a tough decision loss to Chris Billam-Smith, is now 21-3(18). Browne, who hadn’t boxed since August of 2023, and was having just his second fight since he was beaten by Artur Beterbiev in a world title challenge back in December of 2021, falls to 25-3(16).
How Glanton Took Over After A Competitive Start
Glanton, the younger man by a year at age 33, put on relentless pressure, with him often bullying southpaw Browne to the ropes and keeping him there with a steady flow of punches. The first three rounds saw Browne have success, this as he went to work on Glanton’s body. It was shaping up as a good fight.
But come the fourth-round, Glanton of Georgia turned it into his fight, with his pressure getting to the man from Staten Island. Now it was Glanton who was working the body, this as Browne was pinned on the ropes. In the sixth session, Glanton, who really can be a veritable nightmare to fight, landed a hard right uppercut to Browne’s chin. Browne was hurt, and Glanton landed some follow-up uppercuts to end what was a big round for him.
Browne’s Future In Doubt After Another Punishing Loss
And then Browne, who was both tired and hurt, opted not to come out for anymore. A good, solid win for Glanton, even if it did come over an inactive fighter. Where Browne goes from here aside from into retirement is pretty much anyone’s guess.
