Sapp–overrated product of the media. Ya, he’s huge, but fighting just ain’t his calling. Biggest waste of 6’5" 300+ pounds sinc Tony Mandarich
Sapp said Mirko kicked him just below his ribs and he was later taken to the hospital to see if Mirko messed his organs up or soemthing.
And all of sapps wins didnt come against cans, he did whop Hoost twice already.

Sapp… what can i say about Sapp. I think I will steal a line from ESPN. “The Arizona Cardinals are to the NFL what the Trailblazers are to the NBA. Every now and then they trick you into thinking they are really going to do something this season.” Sapp is like that. You hear stories of how he is working on his cardio, training in kickboxing, spent some time with Ivan Salavary and then he just doesn’t perform. sigh He just recently lost to that 7ft 3 South Korean guy. Hung Man Choi or something? Man that was… a different fight[/quote]
Anyone got a video of this fight?

True. But in one fight with Ernesto Hoost he won but had to be helped out the ring and couldn’t continue on to the next fight.
Hoost had to come back and fight in place of Sapp
Sapp vs. Choi

Hoost is one of the hardest hitters ever no doubt about it. Just ask Crocop.
Anyone else notice crocop looks like Henry Rollins? Coincidence? I think not.
Babalu thanks for those clips.
Sapp vs. Choi was just plain ugly and sloppy.Neither one has any kiscking skills. They’re throwing wild punches. Only a few really landed. Both were gassed after one round and Sapp looked like he almost collapsed in round 3.
Anyone ever heard of Butterbean.
He looked like Humpty Dumpty but he never got winded like Sapp and Choi. Butterbean would’ve knocked both these guys out.IMO
I just seen the K1 fight sapp had against some giant Korean dude, and I will say that sapp had some pretty sharp kicks but then he started to gas out, plus he throws the wildest punches.
IMHO if sapp learned to pace himself and not gas so early and plus learn to throw straight punches instead of haymakers all the time he would be a more complete fighter who is feared for his abilities and not his size. But then again what the hell do I know.
It looks like Shaquille O’Neil and Yao Ming going at it
