From "Sierra":
I saw this fighter live for his debut. He did everything perfectly. Normally, I would think the opponent was hand picked. And perhaps he was in terms of size (he was a very small Super Middleweight), however, Sam made infight adjustments in a very short amount of time. He didn't flail away at his opponent like some new kid on the block. He picked his punches and used an excellent blend of body work and a steady attack to the head. In the first round, Sam moved in too closely to his opponent, I think smothering his own punches, or at least taking some power away from them. He would use his jab to set up a straight right hand, but didn't use it to work his way inside, which he found his opponent was extremely uncomfortable being at. Every time he got too close for his challenger, he would throw a flurry of wide punches to his shoulders, none of which landed. Sam did the right thing by keeping his guard up and waiting for the flurry to end. But the impressive thing was he learned very quickly, when he threw the jab to work his way inside, there was no flurry, his opponent was too worried about defense to attack. This became the effectiveness of the second round. Sam used the jab to get his way inside and put his opponent on the defensive. After three such sets of this Sam landed a beautiful left hook which leveled his opponent. The ref didn't even get to the count of two before waving the fight off. Very impressive for a pro debut at the Emerald Queen Casino.
