•Oct 10, 2011

Joe DeGuardia, the promoter from the Bronx, is a glass half-full type of guy. But more than three months after his fighter, Delvin Rodriguez waged one of the more memorable bouts with Pawel Wolak on Friday Night Fights on July 15, a rematch seemed unlikely. The two battled to a majority draw, Wolak fought nearly the second half of the fight with his right eye shut, and Rodriguez comported himself more than adequately, moving up from welterweight to junior middleweight for the fight.

Fighting Words: More Rodriguez-Wolaks, At What Price?

by David P. Greisman - They stood side by side, paired by pain and pride not long after being adversaries in action. They were positioned nearly as close to each other as they had been over 10 rounds, a distance that had tested their tolerance and their training. The fighters promised excitement. The fight exceeded expectations. There was already talk, naturally, of a rematch. It was only right that Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward should have a sequel. It is only right that Delvin Rodriguez and Pawel Wolak do the same. Fights like Rodriguez-Wolak and the Gatti-Ward trilogy showcase so much of what is so great about the sweet science, with the momentum swinging as fast and as hard as the fighters – two men giving no thought to excuses or injuries or future paydays and concentrating only on hurt, the distribution and defiance thereof. Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward fought that way long before they fought each other. They were rewarded with a headline bout against each other on HBO’s “Boxing After Dark” and the sizable payday that came with the spotlight. They understood the physical cost they’d have to endure first. Gatti and Ward deserved every dollar and still gave HBO more than its money’s worth. Delvin Rodriguez and Pawel Wolak got paid much less and still delivered ESPN2 an exceptional bargain for last week’s “Friday Night Fights” main event. Fights like Rodriguez-Wolak also underscore the questionable decisions made by those in the boxing business.
