  1. Big guy fights are the best to watch, idc who they are. It takes zero energy to comment on their slowness or size. I’d like to see anyone be that big and fight for over five minutes. To get punched in the stomach or head by a dude that size even as a dude of the same size and keep going for minutes is insane. There’s a reason people are divided by weight, a big dude would maul the flashiest and quickest little guy.

  2. Man, Sam’s work from round 2 onward may look sloppy to the casual viewer but he is quite successfully recreating the style of an older George Foreman. The use of the crossblock, framing, pulling his opponent’s head down and into punches. If you watch the fight back exchange to exchange, sam shows great patience and executes some crafty setups for his power punches. The sort of lumbering and prodding forward mummy-style with extended guards allowed him to put constant pressure on his opponent (hence why he probably felt compelled as a beginner to rapid fire only right hands). He may absorb some shots while initially closing distance due to speed disadvantage but his height and the pushing down of the head makes it difficult to maintain balance or place actually punishing blows. Not to mention, it partially blinds you being facewashed by gloves a majority of the fight. Not trying to simply gas Sam up, just made some observations as someone that competes in Muay Thai and has watched many past fighters and so many things I saw started clicking. I recall Sam citing foreman as an influence for his style on his podcast/stream a while back too but am not certain if he went into any further detail. Thank you if you read this far, just figured I’d spit some analysis for those who maybe aren’t as into the world of combat sports and want to know some more. If you would like to learn more, go check out some of Foreman’s old fights (especially when he was in his mid 40’s KOing world champions) or the many quality documentaries on the evolution of his career and style.

    Godbless
