Baltimore junior middleweight Ishmail "The Arsenal" Arvin lost an eight-round unanimous decision to Pawel Wolak tonight at Madison Square Garden in New York. No knockdowns in the contest. Judge Bill Costello scored the bout 80-72 while judges John McKaie and Alan Rubenstein saw the bout 79-73.
Arvin, fighting for the first time since his win over Anthony Thompson in June of 2008, is now 15-2-4, seven KO's. Wolak's record rises to 26-1, 17 KO's.
Here's a ringside recap of the bout courtesy of Lem Satterfield of AOL Boxing Fanhouse.com:
"The 34-year-old Arvin ended a 17-month layoff to take this fight against the 28-year-old Wolak, an in-the-trenches, in-your-face brawler who attacks the head and body and who also absorbs punishment. The 5-foot-10 Arvin is a potent puncher, but he missed often as well -- a possible indication of ring rust. Wolak's steady pressure punching began to wear on Arvin in the fifth round, where the younger fighter drove the older man's head backward with at least three, separate combinations. By the sixth, Arvin's mouth was consistently agape ,and there was swelling beneath each of Arvin's eyes. The pace remained that way for the last two rounds, with Wolak giving more than he took."

just keep your head up ish, don't let this keep you down, please try not to stay out of the ring so long ring rust can really play a big part I think. Now you got your feet wet back again so keep it going bounce right back...
