    That's right. He got a pretty big (relatively speaking) win over former titlist Yuri Foreman and then had a fight with Delvin Rodriguez that was an instant classic on FNF. It was a draw. The rematch went to Rodriguez and Wolak intelligently hung up the gloves. I believe Wolak had a modest business going outside the ring, maybe aluminum siding?

    Dave Sands! Poor guy has only 1 thread with his name in the title during the past 6 years as evidence. Pity, I wouldn’t mind learning more about him

    Did you really have him beating Pea? I agree he was a good fighter.
