    Anybody seen Sam in action as a pro?

    I know he was a top amateur, I've heard he can't get any of the current lightweights to fight him is he that dangerous?

    I made a thread saying how good he was and everyone on here called him a bum.

    He sparrd a friend of mine not long ago. I think they pulled the wool over his eyes tho i reckon he had 10lb on my mate.
    From what i saw i would say hes good but like i say he had weight adv but once my mate got started getting his jab off which took him 2 or 3 rds it seemed to disrupt bowen somewhat. I have another friend who is supposed to be sparin him this wk although i wont get to see that as im tied up elsewhere but ill post up what he says.
    Im not sold on the everyones ducking script but he is decent

    Lad I know was training in the same gym a little while back, said he seen him on the bags and didn't think he was up to much.... then seen him in sparring and realised what the fuss was about.

    What level are your friends at? He was strong in amateurs your friend did well to hold him off with that kind of weight advantage

    He didnt exactly hold him off but he did disrupt bowens rythm and he did 6 rds with him.. my friend has been a pro a long time his best days are behind him now tho and he never won anything major.
    Thecweight is also a guess from me without going too far into it i reckon he got stitched up that day and shouldnt of been him with bowen. I thought bowen looked big and then a few things were mentioned after which led me too believe he had about 10lb on him

    It didnt happen.carl Greaves never got back after it was said theyd be ready.
    My pals more than up for it. I marked his card regarding the previous incident so if it happens ill post how he feels it went its also possible id be there so can give a better account

    Be interesting to know who your friends are. Strange for a prospect to want to be so much over the weight of a sparring partner who you suggest has maybe had their day makes you wonder if as confident as appear to be.
