Polish Boxing Prospect Pawel Wolak Back In Action September 26By Boxing Press September 16th, 2008 All Press ReleasesA more ring savvy, experienced Polish power puncher Pawel "Raging Bull" Wolak, 21-1 (14), returns to the ring Friday night, September 26 headlining "Havoc At The Hilton" at the Huntington Hilton Hotel. "Havoc At The Hilton," promoted by Bob Duffy's Ring Promotions, features some of New York's finest, most entertaining pro boxers. The Poland-born Wolak, now living and training in Brooklyn, is coming off his first pro loss August 21 to Ishe Smith, star of The Contender Season 1, by a close 10-round decision. The 26-year-old Wolak, reigning WBC Interim USNBC and Polish International light middleweight champion, takes on veteran Chad Greenleaf, 10-10-1 (4), in the eight-round main event. "I realized (from last fight) that I just can't fight one way," Wolak said. "Doing the same thing won't work. I've reached a level where my opponents can do a little bit of everything – punch, box, move, etc. I need to gain experience every fight, work hard on different things in the gym, and be smart. I've changed trainers and I've been working hard on changing in the gym. "Physically, I'm good. In my last fight I just didn't have the maturity or experience about how to box. I have it physically and that's very important, but I'm practicing on other things in the gym. "Greenleaf is tough and he switches from right to left. He's strong and will be throwing punches. I wanted to get right back into a fight to show people what I've learned. The changes may only be slight in this fight, but with each fight fans will see more and more of what I'm working on so hard." New York State heavyweight champion Darrel Madison, 10-1 (3), out of Central Islip, is riding a nine-fight win streak into the six-round co-feature against veteran Elfair "The Wyandanch Warrior" McKnight, 2-7-2. Chief support on the undercard will be provided by Plainview hometown favorite, welterweight Tommy "The Razor" Raione, 11-1 (3), who takes on Henry White, Jr., 2-2-1 (2), in a six-round bout. Brooklyn light heavyweight Will Rosinsky, 1-0 (1), three-time U.S. National Golden Gloves champion, will be showcased in a four-rounder versus upset-minded Michael "The Snake" Ciccone, 1-4. In a four-round heavyweight match, Egyptian-born Ahmed Samir, 2-0, faces always tough Andrew "Came To Fight" Hutchinson, 2-9 (2). Samir was 198-13 as an amateur, 85-10 in international matches, including gold-medal performances in the 2007 All-African Games, 2007 Arab Championships and 2006 Jordan International Championships. Ahmed came to the U.S. to participate in the 2007 World Amateur Championships, but he abandoned the Egyptian national Team to turn pro and start a new life in New York City. Also on the undercard in four-round bouts, Padoque welterweight Leon Green, 4-1 (1), faces Rakeem Carter, 0-4, of Albany; welterweight Chris Algeri, 3-0 (2), takes on fellow New Yorker Clarence Smith, 0-1, and Brooklyn light welterweight Pablo Tejeda, 2-8 (1) returns against Broderick Antoine, 3-6-1 (2 ), of Troy, NY. New York City light middleweight Lambros Karaolides is scheduled to make his pro debut against TBA, while Bronx featherweight Eddie Irizary, 2-0 (1), fights on the undercard against an opponent to be determined. All bouts and fighters are subject to change. Tickets are priced at $100.00 (Golden Ringside), $75.00 (Ringside) and $40.00 (General Admission). VIP tables of 10 are $1500.
