Talk About A WOW Factor!
By Steve Fossum - IKF
|
If you ever saw Marek Piotrowski fight, that's exactly what you thought of him, WOW! First time I saw him fight was April 15th, 1994 on one of Scott Coker's well known Strikeforce Kickboxing events in San Jose CA, USA. He won a 12 round decision against another outstanding fighter, Javier Mendez of San Jose, CA. to win the ISKA Full Contact Light Heavyweight World Title. So who is Marek Piotrowski? Born August 14th, 1964 in Debe Wielkie, Poland, "The Punisher" as they called him stood 6'2" tall and generally fought at 187 lbs. However, he fought as a Middleweight, Light Heavyweight, Cruiserweight and Heavyweight. His background was in Boxing, Kickboxing and Kyokushin Karate (Black Belt) and Jujutsu. In 1988 he moved from Poland and fought out of Chicago, Illinois, U.S. Marek fought between 1984 until 1996. his last kickboxing bout was in December of 1995 when he defeated Steffano Tomiazzo in Katowice, Poland by a 12 round decision to win the WKA Full Contact Heavyweight World title. He continued his fighting in Pro Boxing and had his last Pro Boxing bout on December 12th, 1996, a decision win over Greg Lavely in Stadionsporthalle, Hannover. As a professional kickboxer he fought and defeated such great fighters as, Conrad Pla, Michael McDonald, Neil Singleton, Bob Handegan, Rick Roufus, Don Wilson, Bob Thurman, Mark Longo, Mike Winkeljohn, Javier Mendez and Steffano Tomiazzo. His only two loses came from Rick Roufus and Rob Kaman. His loss to Roufus was in a rematch of the bout Marek had won. The first meeting was for Roufus' PKC United States Middleweight title which Marek won by a unanimous 12 round decision on August 19th, 1989 in Chicago, Illinois, USA taking Marek's record to a perfect 22-0. Roufus avenged the loss on June 6th, 1991 in Chicago, Illinois, USA by a head kick KO in round 2. The fight was for the vacant ISKA Full Contact Light Heavyweight World title and Marek's PKC Full Contact Light Heavyweight World title he had won over Don Wilson on November 4th, 1989 in a 12 round Split decision in a fight that happened directly after he defeated Roufus the first time they fought. Sadly Wilson was never granted a rematch as Roufus was and to this day, many wonder if the outcome would have been the same. Marek's only other loss came to the legendary Rob Kaman of Amsterdam, Netherlands (97-12-1 with 77 KO's) in November of 1992 in Paris, France by TKO in the 7th round. the bout was for the vacant ISKA Oriental Rules Light Heavyweight World title. As an Amateur Kickboxer and Karate fighter in Poland he won several Amateur titles that included:
As an Pro Kickboxer fighting out of Chicago, Illinois, USA he won 11 Titles which included;
Marek's additional recognitions include:

"The longer I live, the more I
realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than
facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than
circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say
or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make
or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a
choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot
change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain
way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the
one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10%
what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are
in charge of our Attitudes."

"Man can will nothing unless he has
first understood that he must count on no one but himself; that he is alone,
abandoned on earth in the midst of his infinite responsibilities, without help,
with no other aim than the one he sets himself, with no other destiny than the
one he forges for himself on this earth."
Jean-Paul Sartre
