By Jake Donovan - It's the house that Tomasz Adamek built in terms of relevant boxing events at Prudential Center.

Fast forward nearly seven years later, where the same venue bore witness to a new Polish star in the cruiserweight division. His name is a bit tougher to spell and pronounce, but Krzysztof Glowacki gave the boxing world plenty of reason to brush up on its Polish in his most recent performance.
The unbeaten contender became a champion in highlight reel fashion, denying Marco Huck a piece of boxing history in the process. An off-the-canvas 11th round knockout Friday evening turned Glowacki into an overnight sensation in the latest installment of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Spike TV.
Glowacki was down and nearly out early in round six, and trailing on all three scorecards through 10 rounds in a fight that served as the stateside debut for both fighters. There was no shortage of action at any point, as each combatant sought to win over the crowd.
The belief going in was that Glowacki and his team would be able to tap into the large Polish contingent in the Northern New Jersey area that for years supported Tomasz Adamek through his cruiserweight and heavyweight runs. Huck had his fair share of supporters for his first fight abroad, as the Serbia-born, Germany-based cruiserweight champion was a win – or draw - away from a divisional record-breaking 14th successful title defense.
