It seemed to me that Sam was so lost in terms of the pre-fight psychological war that he didn't even really try to win that fight. He just accepted defeat before it even came. I've never seen him so lethargic or dispassionate. The thing a lot of people enjoyed about Sam was his fire, his anger. Yet, in the scenario where he should have been the most angry, he seemed to look at Vitali and lay down before finding a way out with the open scoring after the 8th.
I'm not discrediting Vitali, let's make that clear. He beats any version of Sam. What I am wondering here is if it seemed to everyone else that Sam seemed to know this and was just bracing for the inevitable in the ring. Did he seem not to try or really care to anyone else?
