Gamrot says Poland safer and more modern than USA in many ways

Mateusz Gamrot shared his perspective on living in Poland versus the United States, praising his home country as cleaner, safer, and more hospitable than America. The lightweight contender noted that Poland is also more modern in many everyday aspects, citing an example of U.S. restaurants only recently adopting portable payment terminals that were standard in Poland a decade ago. Gamrot criticized American hospitality customs, recounting being invited to barbecues where he would have gone hungry without bringing his own food, contrasting this with Polish generosity. He also described American social interactions as superficial, with people not genuinely engaging beyond 'how are you' pleasantries. While acknowledging the U.S. offers career advantages for athletes, Gamrot emphasized that quality of life isn't necessarily better, noting even his children prefer visiting their grandmother in Poland over Florida beaches. He concluded that being home allows for faster problem-solving due to familiarity with systems, whereas in the U.S. 'you're always last in every line.'
