I,(as well as a bunch of other people), know for a fact Materkowski turned down a fight against an 0-0 ammy who was originally on the card. This guy who trained and paid for his medicals, who would have fought anyone no questions asked, loses his spot on tonights roster. Meanwhile, Materkowski slides on in and apparantly gets to cherry pick his opponent. Wow, ammys dictating to promoters who they’ll fight.
Results?
Full write up with in the hour, Mark.
amateurs dictating who they fight is nothing new, some BIG prominent gyms cherry pick opponents all the time…FACT
