Sample approach! KSW responds to the theft of the win and Martinek can rewrite history. We won’t see any more faulty referees in the organization

KSW 75 offered interesting fights, but the very controversial performances of the referees are more discussed. Petra Částková and Michal Martínek also paid the price. The co-owner of the organization, however, refuses to let such a thing happen again and is planning direct action.

KSW 75 offered interesting fights, but the very controversial performances of the referees are more discussed. Petra Částková and Michal Martínek also paid the price. The co-owner of the organization, however, refuses to let something like this happen again and is preparing direct action.

Three Czech representatives, three losses. However, only David Martinik lost on points so it was not a controversial decision. Petra Částková and Michal Martinek were different. Especially the loss of the former Octagon champion caused a big stir.

The judges were also criticized by KSW co-owner Maciej Kawulski. He expressed his disgust and spoke very uncompromisingly in an interview with the Polish media Sportowe Fakty.

“Only one judge scored correctly. Normally I don’t comment on these things. Every referee has the right to see the match as he sees it. They have the right to judge the match. But if they saw Martinek’s match like that, then we picked the wrong referees,” Kawulski said.

Kawulski revealed, among other things, that there will be no place for them in future KSW tournaments. He also admitted that he has a lot of respect for the fighter Daniel Omielanczuk, who Martinek fought. He said he would like to see him win, but he sees this result as a detriment not only to KSW and MMA, but also to the Polish fighter himself.

“For the first time in my life, I will challenge a fighter and his team to write a protest,” Kawulski said. He believes the result was reversed, even though he is no analyst.

Martinek admitted that the protest was personally filed by KSW management. “If it succeeds, we may see the result reversed for the first time in KSW history. We will know the verdict in a week,” he said on social media.
