http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/players/tor_hamer/75847 Recent articles about Tor Hamer en-us   NEW YORK CITY - - Andy Lee stepped into the tiny ring crammed into the B.B. King Blues Club in Time Square -  a fitting locale considering the setbacks he has had to face in and out of the ring recently. The Irishman was eager to pull the needle off the blues record that’s been spinning around his life for the last year, following his stoppage loss to Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. last summer and the death of his trainer and best friend Emmanuel Steward.   Taking another step towards a shot at redemption on this night meant squaring off against Darryl Cunningham (28-5, 11 KO) of Detroit. Finding the sweet melody he'd been hoping for, the needle on the record was pulled just a minute and twenty seconds into the first round as Lee emphatically ended the contest along the ropes, notching his 30th win.   Bearded, but otherwise looking crisp and sharp, Lee stalked Cunningham from the start of the round. A quick jab in the mouth would be all the punishment foisted upon...

Lee, who challenged for the WBC middleweight championship last summer, came out looking to make a statement, as he stalked Cunningham around the ring, measuring him with his southpaw jab. Midway through the round, a huge left hand from Lee stunned Cunningham. Lee jumped all over his opponent, trapping him against the ropes and letting both of his hands go. With Cunningham taking heavy punishment, the referee had no choice but to jump in and call a halt to the contest. Official time of the stoppage was 1:27 of the very first round. With the win, Lee improved to 30-2...

Highlighting the card will be fast-rising, undefeated middleweight, Lamar Russ (12-0, 7KO's), fellow undefeated middleweight prospect Delen Parsley (10-0, 3KO's) and heavyweight Tor Hamer (19-2, 12KO's). All three bouts are scheduled for eight rounds. Russ joined the DBE roster late in 2012 and has yet to disappoint.

In the 8-round televised co-feature, Vyacheslav "Czar" Glazkov, 13-0, 9 KOs, battles Tor Hamer, 19-1, 12 KOs, in a showdown of rising heavyweights.  Both men are looking to make a name for themselves and have a golden opportunity to do so.  They will fight before a packed house and a big NBC television audience.  Hamer, of New York, is a little better known on the East Coast, but Ukraine's Glazkov, fighting in the USA for just the second time, will look to use his punching power as his introduction to boxing fans.  The fight opens the NBC 4 PM ET TV broadcast.

Credit: Main Events Lately New York-born Hamer has been making waves and getting ink as a promising prospect in the heavyweight division.

Adamek won their first meeting, which was a "fight of the year" candidate in 2008. In their 8-rounder, Hamer and Glazkov will look to attract the attention needed to begin their own climb up the heavyweight ladder.

The well spoken, university educated American was certainly the emerging star of this tournament as he eased through his opening bouts, but there were still reservations as to his ability to deal with Johnson, who had fought at a higher level, in the final. Johnson did have spectacular moments himself, after all. In his Quarterfinal contest with Nourredine Meddoune, he took a look at his novice opponent early on before establishing his jab; avoiding Meddoune’s swatting punches and crashing right hands off the Morrocan’s skull. With Meddoune unable to throw back, Johnson landed a right uppercut through the guard before the referee wisely intervened. If ever an early message has been sent in a Prizefighter tournament, this was it. Hamer started out confidently against the Brazilian hulk Marcelo Nas...

In addition to Hamer, the eight-fighter single-elimination competition consisted of Maurice Harris, Kevin Johnson, Albert Sosnowski, Tom Little, Tom Dallas, Noureddine Meddoune, and Marcelo Luiz Nascimento. In his quarter-final match against the Brazilian Nascimento, Hamer's superior speed and boxing skills were evident, as he maintained a proper distance finding moments to strike with his power shots, keeping his foe off guard. A knockdown in round three sealed the victory for Tor, as scorecards read 30-27, 30-26, and 29-28, all for the American. Against England's Dallas, Hamer immediately bull-rushed his adversary with a flurry and trapped him against the ropes.

After a questionable loss against local favorite Edmund Gerber (20-0, 13 KOs) in his native land of Germany last month, Harris, who felt he was robbed, promises to give it his all once again when he travels overseas to fight.
