Marc Slomske had a depressing - but unfortunately, all too common - tale to tell me earlier this week. Late last week, he and his fight crew from Middletown, Pa. were gearing up for an event in Lancaster, OH. His fighters wanted to get a taste of Ohio's amateur rules, which are very similar to professional rules, with no kick pads and striking on the ground. The event was to be held last Saturday, but on Thursday, Slomske received a call from the event's promoter, who said it had been canceled.
"I guess it fell through," Slomske said. "We had four guys on the card. It was disheartening. We were training our rear-ends off."
Not wallowing in despair, Slomske's fight team is focused on the future, which promises to be full of action: the fight team of Brett Evans, Jonathan Weirich, Justin Krebs, Chris Evans and Danny Signor, have fights at both the WKU Warrior Challenge in the Poconos on June 26 and the Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge II on July 18 at Wisehaven in York Township.
