Junior Middleweight rising star Pawel “Raging Bull” Wolak of Mount Arlington improved to 26-1 (17 KO's) after scoring a one-sided decision over Ishmail Arvin Saturday night at Madison Square Garden's WaMu theater. Wolak pressured Arvin from bell to bell, tagging the Baltimore, MD native with crisp shots to both the body and head. Arvin displayed tremendous heart and refused to back down, but Wolak, who also displayed solid defensive movement, had too much firepower. Scores were 80-72 and 79-73 twice.
“This was a tough fight” said Wolak, whose face had far less swelling than usual thanks to his defensive improvements. “He was a physical fighter and landed some good shots so I owe him all the credit in the world for coming to fight and I am ready for whoever is next.”
Arvin drops to 15-2-4 (7 KO’s) with the defeat.
Exciting featherweight prospect Jorge “Kid” Diaz, of Jersey City improved to 12-0 (8 KO’s) after demolishing Denver, CO’s Tommy Atencio in 87 seconds. Diaz dropped Atencio, 4-4 (2 KO’s), hard with an overhand right and again with a solid body, which put him down for the count.
“I went into the fighting looking to box” said Diaz, who scored a jaw dropping knockout against 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist Yan Barthelemy in October. “I caught him hard with that right hand, so the opening was there to end it early”.
According to manager Pat Lynch, Diaz will return March 20 in Florida.
