Friday night at the Aviator Sports Arena in Brooklyn, NY, two local fighters made their debut on the Showtime boxing series, Shobox The New Generation. The main event featured undefeated Pawel Wolak from Mt. Arlington, NJ, taking a step-up in competition against season one Contender star Ishe Smith. The co-feature also featured an undefeated local, Jorge Teron from the Bronx, NY, who faced off against Michael Lozada of Mexico.
In the main event, Wolak was the aggressor from the beginning of the fight, moving forward constantly but unable to land his punches effectively through Smithʼs strong defense. Both fighters fought on the inside through most of the fight with Smith getting the better of the exchanges landing short uppercuts on Wolak.
The crowd cheered and chanted for Wolak as he continued moving forward but it was not enough to get through the defensive style of Smith. During the middle rounds Smith slipped and fell on a couple occasions due to excessive water in his corner as well as slipping on the painted advertisement in the middle of the ring, which was deceiving to the crowd who roared as if the falls were from Wolakʼs punches.

Deandre Latimore “rocked the house” in an upset victory by scoring a seventh round technical knockout over Sechew Powell at the Hard Rock Café in Times Square, New York City on this week’s ESPN Wednesday Night Fights promoted in association with Warriors Boxing and Gotham Boxing.
Not that I want to get in the “too much information” category, but before the night of boxing began I was using the restroom and one of the St. Louis natives came in yelling “It’s gonna be an upset tonight, we didn’t come all the way from St. Louie to lose!” At this point I just smiled as I washed my hands and he continued, “You’re smilin’ but you wait and see its Latimore’s night!” I guess he knew what he was talking about.
The St. Louis native Latimore 19-1 (16) built up his record in just over two years, fighting seemingly lower level competition eleven times in 2006 and eight times in 2007, with the combined records of his opponents at 95-158-8.
From the opening bell it seemed Latimore was better than anticipated as he was able to trade with Powell from the beginning of the fight. Each fighter was able to land hard blows and made each round close. More...
