LOL told you he only beat the shadow of the shadow of Tyron Spong. He is not even on the striking level to go for try out to be on the smalles K1 show ever on the lowest undercard spot. Dude is average. No hate. But c mon. Tyron didn´t train for that.
Of course he trained, didn't you follow his camp?
Some of his fans even went as far as to say he overtrained, to justify his defeat. I guess "he didn't even train, just rolled out of bed" also has a nice ring to it.
Also, I can't help but be remembered that when the fight was announced, you said, and I quote:
Plus, Spong was in top form, strong mentally, physically and emotionally, Imma let give the mic to the man himself =>
“I just feel I’m not done yet, you know? I’m physically, mentally still in it,” Spong said.
“Obviously, I’ve been doing it for over two decades and a lot of fights, a lot of fights, a lot of fights. I just needed a break. Life happens, things happen, you focus on other business, try to get some stuff going because as we know you can’t keep fighting forever.
No matter how blessed or gifted you are, with a good athletic body, physical traits, there’s going to be a time where you either just don’t want to do it no more or can’t do it no more. I took that time off to focus on other aspects in life that needed some attention.”
On top of that, watching his 16-year-old son fall in love with the art that has made his father so popular around the world was decisive to “awaken the competitive drive” in his heart.
Crazy to still be in his prime at 40, but Smilin Sam is also 40 and determined to win despite his heavy underdog status,
My man Smilin' Sam beat the brakes of Tyron Spong and makes me a rich(er) sherdogger
, so now the strategy is that Spong actually didn't have enough
time to properly train to prepare for an elite karateka in his prime like Sam Alvey, that you previously thought to be a can that stood no chance against such a special talent like Spong, no matter the circumstances?
What a fight, is there anything Smilin' Sam can't do while chain-smoking cigars?
