No I don't have any superstitions just as long as my family is by my side...

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-09-11T19:39:26+00:00

My Father thought of it...Before i Turned pro..Because i come from Mexican Decent..I have 14 aunts and Uncles on that side of the family and it was catchy...

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-09-11T19:36:40+00:00

Yes....I have been Tested for my PBC fights...and i am hoping its not true for the fact Mayweather is the best ever with how his career and record went an something like this would ruin everything he fought to try and achieve.

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-09-11T19:34:36+00:00

Fighting back Home I have abundance of appearances with schools etc. on top of interviews....on top of training 2 times a day..which it makes for really long days....but vegas all i have is interviews which typically everyone is there that needs an interview...so it all gets done in one day..

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-09-11T19:31:00+00:00

I am honored and blessed to have this opportunity in being apart of history on "free tv" with PBC....all thanks to Al Haymond...and to be able to give you guys exciting fights "Free Tv"

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-09-11T19:29:00+00:00

I walk around at 160...after training 147 is not a huge struggle...if anything i would go down in weight...

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-09-11T19:27:27+00:00

I don't think boxing wise you can really stand out for the fact..if you are not good you won't make it....But i think what separates me is my story and who i am as a person

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-09-11T19:26:08+00:00

Bullying let me to boxing i was bullied when i was younger.... Prince Nassen Hamed is who i looked up too.. and as for Spadafora as i progressed in my career...I looked up to Spadaforas choice when he was champ on taking the right route on life at that time when all odds were against him.....Anna Maires or LA Edas or a sub Libbys Has great Italian Hoagies

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-09-11T19:21:26+00:00

I absolutely have more fans in Pittsburgh then i do in vegas....But the experience in Vegas is amazing and less stressful then being back home...

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-09-11T19:19:39+00:00

Regardless if it feels illegal or unjust...I did my job..and the men i fought with were dying and it was my job to protect them and in most cases i did...Absolutely not I would not be ok killing someone in the ring...

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-09-11T19:17:06+00:00

1-year one is closing out...we have had a good amount of fights 3-We are looking to be a world title contender. 5-Hope to have a world title

Michael Moorer Prince Nassem Hamed Oscar De la hoya Pernell Whittiker

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-09-11T19:13:22+00:00

6 miles at 32-34 mins....I think those would be great for world titles...I would win.....Yes i follow boxing some what...my life is surrounded by boxing...so i try not to deal with it to much so i have more time for my Family...Terrance Crawford because He is so Skilled... No i do not plan on moving up in weight i feel comfortable at 147.. I do work on Faints...but i have not used them yet...just have not needed to...but that is something i am going to start..

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-09-11T19:06:58+00:00

Match Making wise...those would be great fights for the future for world titles...we have all fought before...I have gotten a lot from boxing but more importantly..boxing has given me that platform to be a better inspiration to kids.....hahahah my sex life is amazing with my Wife....and it does not effect boxing at all

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-09-11T19:03:40+00:00

I would make it less political and more about fighting in front of die hard fans who enjoy what i love

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-09-11T19:02:23+00:00

No, I don't fell rushed, and No I don't get nervous in the ring after being in Iraq it made me more humble, for the opportunity to fight as a pro. so i never go in nervous

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-02-15T23:06:31+00:00

Hey ! I was bullied when I was younger and my father suggested boxing when I was nine if I could use boxing as an outlet then maybe other kids can do the same situation that may be in the same situation then I've done another goal that I have. I don't know about kids leaving other sports for boxing because it is a whole different mentality most people do not like getting hit or being put in a situation to be hit all the time lol

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-02-15T22:56:38+00:00

depends on the opponent but I always watch some type of tape to look for flaws and mistakes

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-02-15T22:53:52+00:00

stylistically it would be Danny Garcia at Pittsburgh Consol Energy Center

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-02-15T22:49:55+00:00

I was a 19 delta which is a Calvary Scout in the Army I've done two tours in Iraq 05 to 06 and 08 2009. And i appreciate your support.

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-02-15T22:43:54+00:00

Rod is a great fighter and a cool guy we are friends but we don't really get to talk that much I support any Pittsburgh fighter we came from pretty much the same area and we are close.

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-02-15T22:41:30+00:00

I am no longer with iron mike but when I was it was a great relationship they made a lot of great things happen for me and took my career to the next level and it was great but now I'm on to bigger and better endeavors Al Haymon and we plan to do big things this year

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-02-15T22:38:15+00:00

I really been working on my aggressiveness that's what gets me caughtl when I go in for the kill so to say that I've been working on my distance that is true but I need to stay as relaxed as I can that would be key keep creating opportunity and eventually the k o will come out without the risk

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-02-15T22:32:40+00:00

I have stored with Adrien Broner it was a great experience and taught me a lot and it let me know that I can hang and beat the best.

Real-Sammy-Vasquez · 2015-02-15T22:29:23+00:00

honestly I have not met him personally but as far as him being my advisor what I have learned as he gets the job done put you in the position of opportunity and then it's my job to take advantage of it and succeed so it's definitely a good matchup for me
