| Boxing Preview and Prediction: Delvin Rodriguez VS Pawel Wolak |
The fight details are as follows: Date: July 15, 2011, Site: Roseland Ballroom in NYC, New York,Weight Class: Junior Middleweights: 10 Rounds One man (Wolak) is trying to further his case as a player in the resurgent junior middleweight division, while another (Rodriguez) is merely attempting to create something positive in a career that has lacked recent highlights. Wolak will be the heavy favorite, but the conditions should actually be ripe for a good encounter. Wolak: The Polish-born contender is 29 years old and stands 5’8” with a 68-inch reach—average to slightly below-average physical stature for a 154-pounder. Two-time N.Y Golden Gloves finalist and has been a professional now for 7 years, his record an impressive 29-1 (19 KOs). His only setback was just under 3 years and 9 fights ago—a close decision loss to Ishe Smith. Rodriguez: Delvin is a 31-year-old veteran who has been a pro since 1999. He has good size on a well-put-together 6-foot frame. However this will be his first fight at 154, having fought at 147 for nearly the past decade. Rodriguez is 25-5-2 (14 KOs). The Dominican-born Rodriguez now calls Danbury, Connecticut home. Rodriguez is in a bit of a slump, having dropped 3 of his last 4 fights. Wolak’s victory over Foreman threw the slugging Pole into a new light. He’s on everyone’s radar now by virtue of that win. But it might be that very win that leads to a somewhat-diminished performance in this fight. First, there’s the unwritten rule that a fighter who is really impressive in one fight will be less so in his next one. And then there might be the natural mental letdown of winning as an underdog on a big PPV card to fighting as a heavy favorite, probably on ESPN. After all, fighters like Wolak are heavily reliant on having that certain “edge” to be at the top of their game. Without it, you can get a flat performance from time to time. But why would Wolak start slacking now? It’s been a hard road to get where he is and there is no reason to suspect he will become flippant about his newly acquired status. Rodriguez at his best is a good boxer—hard-nosed and elegant with a good handle of what’s going on in the ring. But he appears to have lost the “edge.” To his credit, each of his last 3 losses were painfully close fights. So technically, it wouldn’t require a 180-degree turn for him to get on the right track. The feeling here is that Rodriguez has become a little too comfortable with the idea of doing just enough to lose. In close fights against good fighters, he just has a knack of not getting over the hump. Even the fights he wins become closer fights than they need to be. Against a bruising sort like Wolak, this will catch up to him. Look for Wolak to come on late after a slow start to win about 7 rounds for a clear unanimous decision. This fight won’t be close as Pawel Wolak dominates the fight from start to finish and wins easily. Boxing Wager: Pawel Wolak

On July 15 at the Roseland Ballroom, 154-pound contender Pawel Wolak faces former top welterweight contender Delvin Rodriguez in a pivotal 10-rounder. We had heard about the hard-nosed Wolak for a few years, but he really zoomed into the public’s eye with a dominant TKO of Yuri Foreman in March. Rodriguez is trying to revive a sagging career that once carried some promise.
