A huge ovation for Pudzianowski from the fans while Sylvia is roundly and loudly booed. Both the Polish and American national anthems were played before the fight, with the crowd singing along to both. This is an awesome atmosphere.
Fight Picks Analysis: If physical appearance determined the winner of fights than the 6'1" 273 Lb. mountain of muscle Pudzianowski would steamroll the roly poly bodied Sylvia. This is organized fisticuffs however and skill trumps brute strength most of the time. The 34-year old Sylvia is past his prime but is still a well-rounded and experienced pro.
Roxy Madofferi: "I'm very happy to be here fighting for Moosin and in Worcester. I've been training really hard. It's a rematch but this time I'm going away with a win. I'm looking forward to facing Tara in the cage."
