Something like 40+ of The Wis's ships destroyed and capsules (pods) killed. Pretty sizable loss for The Wis; hang in there buddy!
Apparently it's been attempted to take his fleet out before but this is his first major loss? (Update: evenews24 indicates he lost 25 in 2012)

Possibly better comparison kill report (this shows the 2 sides of the encounter separately): http://zkillboard.com/related/30005223/201310250000/

Note for non-EVE players: EVE Online PVP is different from other MMOs. It's kind of hardcore compared to WoW, in that your characters incur actual losses. Not only did The Wis lose ships which cost to buy/build again, and fairly expensive implants which cost to buy/build again, but his capsules were also destroyed; This EVE wiki page details the consequences of that happening: https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Pod_Killed. I know nothing about his characters, but it's possible his characters each lost weeks/months of training time. Ouch!
