Gamrot says Poland is cleaner, safer and more modern than the United States

Mateusz Gamrot stated in a podcast interview that Poland is cleaner, safer, more hospitable and in many ways more modern than the United States. The lightweight contender noted that basic technologies like portable payment terminals arrived in Poland years before they became standard in American restaurants. Gamrot described Americans as superficial in their interactions, citing an incident where someone was unable to respond when he deviated from the expected "fine" response to "how are you." He also criticized American hospitality, saying he was invited to barbecues where he would have gone hungry if he hadn't brought his own food, contrasting this with Polish culture where guests are fed and taken care of. Despite acknowledging advantages for sports careers in the U.S., Gamrot emphasized that quality of life is not necessarily better there, and even his children preferred returning to Poland despite being on a Florida beach.
