Zachary Wohlman earned his first win in a little over a year with his unanimous decision victory over Omar Avelar at Hollywood Park Casino in Inglewood, California last night. Wohlman outboxed Avelar on his way to winning with three scores of 40-36.
This win against an over-matched opponent is just the first step for Zachary towards recapturing the status he held before last November's loss. Wohlman advances his career mark to 5-1-1 with one KO. Avelar falls to 2-8 with one KO.
Before the fight, Wohlman was featured in an article in The Hundreds.

Wohlman to Face Avelar
Zachary Wohlman's opponent for his comeback fight is scheduled to be Omar Avelar at Hollywood Park Casino in Inglewood, California. The bout is scheduled to take place tomorrow and is slated for four rounds.
Wohlman (4-1-1, 1 KO) suffered his lone career defeat in his last fight, a fourth round stoppage at the hands of Alonzo Loeza. That contest took place last November. So far in 2013, Wohlman has had two fights cancelled.
Avelar (2-7, 1 KO), a 23-year-old, is from the Lummi Reservation in Washington. He's lost his last four fights, all stoppages, including one in May and is a couple of inches shorter than Wohlman. Against Javier Garcia in March, Avelar often rushed in off balance, leaving his head exposed while he wildly threw wide punches. He was stopped in the second round of that bout.
Avelar is also an MMA fighter. In that sport, he's had more success than he's had in boxing, but he's lost two fights in 2013, both first round submissions. His last bout was just three weeks ago.

Chilemba Wins Medal
Light heavyweight Isaac Chilemba was awarded a medal by the president of Malawi, Joyce Banda, at the country's 49th anniversary celebration last weekend. Chilemba (20-2-2, 9 KOs) is coming off of two controversial matches with Tony Bellew this past spring.
In the estimation of many pundits, including The Jewish Boxing Blog, Chilemba deserved victory in both fights, but the two contests were admittedly hard to judge. Bellew is now in line to face the recognized light heavyweight champion of the world, Adonis Stevenson.
