Just saw this fight. What an action packed fight! Both fighters showed a good chin, power and speed. I can see both of them breaking into the top 10 within 2 years. Has anyone else seen these guys fight?

You are right, that fight was great, but no way that both of them can break into the top 10 ;)!
Sam has good handspeed and knows, theoretically, how to cut off ways. Unfortunately his legs aren´t as fast as his hands, so he won´t make it against guys with reach advantage and / or fast legs. He had NO chance against Juan Carlos Gomez, and he also lost a close decision against feather fisted but fast Luan Krasniqi. I´ve seen most of his fights, and in my opinion he has chance against Brewster, Mesi, Barrett, but he will lose against Byrd, Klitschko, Rahman, Tua. He is Top20-30.
Bakhtov is not in the Top 50. He has no punch, an average chin (Sam isn´t a big puncher!) and despite his great body he isn´t big enough for the devision.
