Sam McVea

Has only lost '5' times in '54-Bouts' while facing the best Heavyweights out there
over a 10-Year career.

Has only lost to; Jack Johnson {3-Times}, Denver Ed Martin and Joe Jeannette.

The '3' losses to Jack Jonson were on;
* February 26, 1903 {L Dec 20} ........ Sam at age; 18 years, 9 months
* October 27, 1903 {L Dec 20} ......... Sam at age; 19 years, 5 months
* April 22, 1904 {L KO 20} ............... Sam at age; 19 years, 11 months

Sam was too young and inexperienced for the 25 year-old Jack Johnson at that time, and was
out-smarted in each bout. But Sam was competitive in each bout.

'Style'

Focuses on wearing down his opponents by using his 'brute strength' and thudding
body blows. Not a 'finesse fighter' by any stretch.

A powerful fighter, who is built like a 'cement pillar'. Has a tremendous lower-body
{trunk}, and generates his power from thick muscular legs, buttocks and lower back.

Sam possesses a great left-hook to the body, and adds in a thudding straight left-hand
at his opponent as well. His short right-hands are loaded with power, and Sam uses
his leverage and compact stature to deliver 'bone-jarring' right-uppercuts.

Since June 1905 {6-Years}, Sam has gone an incredible {38-1-3} with '34' Knockouts
against a litany of top quality Heavyweights.
