GKNY 12 Post fight Interview

Fighter profile of Lukasz Wolek by Andy McKenzie

Interviewer:- After a great night of fighting action at GKNY 12 we are now visiting Lukasz Wolek after his 1st round (T)KO win over Fez Pez in the featherweight division. Lukasz, congratulations! What a night for you it was winning your GKNY debut in spectacular fashion! How are you feeling today?

 

 

Lukasz:- Thanks. It’s going great. I respect Pez a lot, he was dangerous and dealt some damage to my head as well as the rest of me. But it was my day and my night.  My hands were working, power was there also. I added elbows to my arsenal and this one attempt ended this fight for good :) I'm also happy that Sitek get a "W" so we both can celebrate :)

 

 

 Interviewer:- Yeah, it was a great night for your camp! We caught up with Robert prior to last nights fight and he said you were prepping by eating pizza together. With both of you getting stoppage victories last night, what the hell was in your pizza?! How are you finding fighting up a weight class? It didnt seem to make a difference to your performance and do you think the fact that you dont have to worry about cutting weight gives you an advantage in the 145lbs division?

 

 

Lukasz:- Hehehe, we're not only on pizza of course but we could eat some being the smaller ones in our divisions. And our pizza....is our secret hehe :-) I feel fighting in higher class gave me a speed advantage and in fighting sports "speed is a strength". But I think I would prefer to fight in lower class with similar build guys some day. I know Robert would love to fight in my division but I'm here now and we don't want to collide with each other for sure;)

 

 

Interviewer:- Although the fight only lasted under 3 mins it was a very entertaining for the whole fight with the crowd on the edge of their seats. You were pretty evenly matched until you got the fight in the clinch where you really showcased your power. Have you been concentrating on your clinch fighting in the lead up to this fight and how do you think you compare to the other fighters in the weight division right now?

 

 

Lukasz:- I knew Fez is also good in the clinch. I was curious how it was gonna work out there. I tried and I think it was good option for me in our matchup. Probably my wrestling and boxing were keys to having the advantage there. I wasn't concentrating 100% on clinching though, I wanted to fight on the feet for sure and I believe in my boxing skills. When it comes to the 145lbs division I think there're couple of guys that could get me troubles. But I will do my best to beat them all, win the title and of course defend it also.

 

 

Interviewer:- Your next fight is at GKNY 18 against Matt Smith, your opponent is yet to fight at GKNY, how to you rate him and can you predict the outcome of the fight for us?

 

 

Lukasz:- He looks like great clincher. I also like to fight there so it will be interesting who will have more there… It will be also interesting to see how my boxing will match up to his muay thai when we'll be fighting at distance. I think it will be a battle for a knockout. My prediction is me winning in 2, maybe 3 round via KO ;)

 

 

Interviewer:- Thankyou for your time today Lukasz, we all look forward to your next fight at GKNY 18 and cant wait to see you throw down again against Smith. Happy training!
