I was looking at an article on Fightnews and I read this...
"Duing the four months Atlas spent with Maske, the trainer says the boxer made tremendous progress. Atlas executed his plan to build Maske technically, physically and mentally, helping Maske to deal with his fears and doubts by arranging a series of private fights.
The first was held on November 4, at which Maske won a six-round decision over Tony Pope."

Does anyone know anything about this? Could this be like the Contender fights where they were sanctioned, but held privately to prevent the results from being leaked out?
