I simply don’t believe this. Sam has HUGE power, and he has a granite chin. We all saw him wobbled by Wladimir’s left hook, but if you look close, he took some massive shots without blinking. At one point he got Klitschko in trouble, and pinned him against the ropes. Wlad unleashed a horrific straight right hand that froze Peter and halted the attack. Although it stopped the aggression, that punch would have taken the head off of most heavyweights. It surprised me that the announcers didn’t say anything because Peter’s corner started screaming at him about it when he sat down on the stool. The next round, he was up and coming forward again. That kind of chin, determination, aggression, and punching power can be deadly effective. It’s my bet that when we see Sam against some of the other top opposition, we will be impressed by the results.
