Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2016-03-12, tough and pretty good fight between Saulo Cavalari and Artem Vakhitov: it gets three stars.Saulo Cavalari entered this fight with a pro record of 59-3-0 (49 KOs=83%) and he is ranked as the No.2 super cruiserweight in the world. He suffered his last loss when he faced Tyrone Spong in 2014 (=Spong vs Cavalari), since then he has collected four consecutive victories winning the vacant Glory light-Hw title in his last bout, against Zack Mwekassa (=Cavalari vs Mwekassa 2).
His opponent, the former Wmc muay thai Hw champion Artem Vakhitov, has a kickboxing record of 15-5-0 (6 knockouts) and he entered as the No.3 in the same weight class. He fought three times last year losing the first bout against Saulo Cavalari, but then he won over Danyo Ilunga and Loren Javier Jorge. Cavalari vs Vakhitov 2 is valid for the Glory light heavyweight title (Cavalari’s first defense); undercard of Rico Verhoeven vs Mladen Brestovac – Glory 28. Watch the video and rate this fight!

they are both good fighters but the former Glory champions Tyrone Spong and Gokhan Saki are on another planet. I hope they will fight again for Glory
danielsan23, If you haven’t done yet, watch the last Spong’s boxing fight in this website. Interesting.
i watched it but i prefer his previous boxing fights, not the last one….i don’t know if he has the skills to become one of the best in boxing….he fough also in the mma…..probably he will chose the fights where he can earn more money….
I believe Spong is a little bit old to succeed in this category mainly because the actual level of good opponents available. On the other hand, he is too short but he would make better money than in kick boxing.
Anyhow, kick boxing was probably boring for him since was nobody to compete with
Dabs, This is the fight for you to watch in order to stop for good all your non common sense talking/discussions about rankings, records, and mismatches that may affect fighters safety.
And please don’t ignore that all Glory participants fighters are all qualified professionals in spite of their ranking and records. Period!!!
