By Mitch Abramson - What motivates Pawel Wolak? He is a college graduate; has work-related managerial experience and hopes to one day work in law enforcement.
And yet he fights as if he has nothing else to fall back on, as if this is it: Boxing or bust.
If I don’t make it here, it’s like, hello to delivering pizzas.
Wolak, a 21-1 junior middleweight who will face Chad Greenleaf at the Huntington Hilton in Long Island on Friday, has an aggressive style that borders on recklessness. While most fighters are discerning about how many punches they throw so as not to tire out, Wolak tosses everything but the kitchen sink.
While most fighters try to maintain a certain distance to their opponents, Wolak practically runs at them.
If they go left, so does Wolak. If they come forward, he goes forward. Wolak’s strategy is simple: he suffocates you, wears you down and tries to break you physically and mentally. [details]
