    The judges should be leaning Wolak's way, if anything, due to location.

    For those that have seen both fighters, how would you compare Wolak to the Joel Julio that fought Ishe?

    I think Ishe is being underestimated somewhat, because it wouldn't be much of a stretch for him to be undefeated right now, he let himself down in both the Powell and the Julio fights. The Mora loss was an SD. I heard there was some controversy in his fight with Bailey though, what was that?

    Smith is 5ft10 with a 71 inch reach
    Wolak is 5ft8. What is his reach?

    Anybody know how big the ring is going to be?

    Ishe has already fought twice this year, is it possible that this will help him break out of his underperforming habits?

    Will Wolak throw so many punches (and Smith so few) that it will be impossible to score rounds for Smith?

    I notice on at least one major betting board there are no over / under props. Maybe because at least on paper it is highly likely it goes to a decision?

    I see Smith now at -140 and Wolak at +120

    The controversy in his fight with Bailey is that Bailey closed their fight out better in the championship rounds(of a very slow fight in general), the fight could have gone either way, and the final scores ended up being 116-111, 117-110, 114-113 for Ishe, where only the 114-113 score was a decent score.

    The fight pretty much depends on how good Wolak's chin is. I'd like to see Ishe fight less conservatively, but it seems to be a pattern he's unable to get out of. So basically it boils down to whether Wolak can take Ishe's punches and maintain his workrate in the process. If he can do that, then he'll probably win just on said workrate.

    This was pretty much what happened. I would like to see Ishe fight James Kirkland. Also I'm really lookin forward to seeing Jorge Teron, 6'0 lightweight kinda reminds me of Corraless.

    Just not talented enough all around.

    No shame in the loss though he showed a tough ass warrior spirit and despite being outgunned he never stopped attacking.

    He needs a new trainer behind that will help him with his footwork and most importantly someone who can give ANY kind of advice in between rounds.His corner was no help at all.

    That being said with his stamina and style i think Pawel can bounce back and still rack up some good wins.

    Ishe Smith reminded me of B-Hop last night. I liked what I saw from him. I just wish he would get out of that garbage division he is in, either he needs to make MW or go to LHW.

    nah light middle is the place to be. he is good slick and tall enough to be a force. at welter he never really showed athleticism like that what he has done at 154.

    too small for 160 too big for 140 and maybe a bit to large fro 147
