KEA Boxing's "Wildwood Wars" lived up to its billing last night from the Oceanfront Arena in the Wildwoods Convention Center in Wildwood, New Jersey. In KEA Boxing's 10 th show to date, "The Polish Raging Bull", Pawel Wolak, 18-0, 13 KO's was very impressive in a dominant performance over "The Contender" Season 1 participant, Jonathan "Reid Dog" Reid, 34-8, 18 KO's. In the co-feature of the evening, hometown hero, Wildwood, New Jersey's Chuck "The Professor" Mussachio had a rough time with the Bronx, New York's Victor Paz, 9-5, 1 KO, but managed to overcome adversity and capture a split decision victory in their exciting light heavyweight bout.
Mussachio appeared to win the early rounds boxing, but Paz made it clear by the middle of the fight that he did not make the trip south to Mussachio's hometown to accommodate the home town favorite. Despite the fact that Mussachio seemed to be outboxing Paz early, Paz was slowly gaining confidence and roughing Mussachio up. Mussachio used his jab and movement, while Paz was aggressive and showed that he came to Wildwood with an upset on his mind.
After some good body work and a couple of well timed and placed low blows in the 6th, Mussachio was visibly bothered. The look on Mussachio's face after a low blow in round 6 along with the blood from Mussachio's nose seemed to revitalize Paz. It was also revealed that Mussachio had an injured, possible broken right hand. As a result, Mussachio had to battle adversity and use all of the experience he picked up in over 100 amateur fights and his 10 prior professional fights to box the last couple rounds and prevent the motivated Paz from pulling off the upset.
