I can´t wrap my mind around Saad, I love how brave he was, tough tough guy... but I don´t know what to tell you if you ask me what I see on him outside of his grit, chin, and big punch... I like his jab and how he puts the 1-2.... but, okay... I need to find a thing or two on him outside of grit, punch and toughness.. or maybe I don´t... and that is enough...
His character. You don’t routinely come from behind to pull out fights after taking significant punishment without being of great character. He didn’t have an ounce of quit (or even ‘just try to survive’) in him.
I think that’s the point….he had grit ..chin and punch in such an abundance…he was also lacking in certain areas ….and his flaws helped to make him exciting
Too tough for his own good, also wasted a lot of his money, he should have never dumped the Belfiore's for the Muslims. They took him to the cleaners.
Great conditioning too. He carried his power and pace late into fights and didn’t falter. He also had a great chin because he took so many cleanly on the button and didn’t go out, for so many fights. Eventually that caught up with him, but for a period of time he was the toughest and most dangerous fighter in the sport.
