Rosinsky Returns to Fight Back Against Sandy Will Rosinsky has had an exciting career thus far, both in and out of the ring. The 27 year old, Queens native has had back to back tough bouts, one with former World Champion Kelly Pavlik, and the other, Hurricane Sandy. The FDNY EMT saw firsthand the devastation and destruction that a major natural disaster can impose on a community, especially a community as big as the New York City area. A crushing blow to the place he has called his home for his whole life, can make the disappointments in the ring, seem minuscule in comparison. “To see firsthand just what these people were going through days after was truly tragic. As with many of us in the tri- state area, there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about the effects this horrible storm had on so many people.” Rosinsky said about the experience. But that is exactly what is going to make the upcoming edition of DiBella Entertainment’s “Broadway Boxing” series, that much more special. Not only will Rosinsky get the opportunity to bounce back from the hard fought bought with Pavlik, but it comes with a cause. All proceeds from the night will go to benefit the relief efforts from Hurricane Sandy. Will “Power” Rosinsky impressed a lot of the boxing community in the Pavlik fight, taking the fight on short notice, and then taking it to Pavlik right out of the gate, landing the cleaner and more effective shots in the first, it was clear that he wouldn’t be a pushover for Pavlik, on his comeback trail. Trading shots in the second round with the former Ring Magazine Champion, a hard chopping right caught Rosinsky, and put him on the canvas. Quickly he rose and throughout the rest of the bout, Rosinsky and Pavlik strategically traded shots and styles it seemed. Some rounds Pavlik seemed to be controlling the action with his jab, but then it would be Rosinsky breaking through with combinations that would end with crisp power shots, and vice- versa. In the latter stages of the fight though, it may have been the short notice of the fight, and Pavlik’s championship experience that did Rosinsky in, as Pavlik seemed to pull away in the final two rounds, clinching the unanimous decision. Although clearly an upset against a world class fighter like Kelly Pavlik would have been ideal. The experience, with a fighter like that had to bring some sort of consolation to him. This Wednesday, Rosinsky (16-2, 9KO) will square off against Otis Griffin (24-10, 10KO) a game 35 year old, who has terrific experience in the ring, against the likes of Yusef Mack, Jeff Lacy, and Danny Green. A fight that he most certainly will not take lightly, as it is the chance to get on another roll, and possibly get another Pavlik type fight in the future. And the extra motivation to shine in an evening dedicated to doing what Rosinsky does best, giving back. DiBella Entertainment’s latest installment of the “Broadway Boxing” series will take place at the Roseland Ballroom, in New York City, this Wednesday, December 19th.
