The journalist is supposed to be objective, not have any rooting interest in the subject matter or person they're covering. Pawel Wolak makes this dictate difficult. The Polish-born Jerseyite is so humble, so amiable, and so epitomizes the positive stereotype of the lunchpail warrior, that I find it hard not to hope he gets all that he hopes to achieve in the squared circle.
Please check out this video I shot, as Wolak (age 30; 29-1-1) talks about his day job, his first fight with Delvin Rodriguez, and what he thinks will happen in their Saturday rematch, at Madison Square Garden.
