Bob Sapp is a “Very Big Individual”

That seems like a massive understatement to me, but listen to Bobby Lashley (who will fight Sapp on June 27th) say it, so you can judge for yourself.

Admittedly, Lashley is hardly a small guy, and will probably be 265-275 at the time of the bout. Sapp, however, will have around a 100 pound weight advantage on Lashley, as well as three inches of height.

Still, it’s hard to train for a guy like Sapp, who is a solid athlete, given his football and kickboxing background. If Lashley can get the fight to the mat, he should be  in good shape, but Sapp is a powerful fighter known for his (often stupid) aggressiveness in the ring, and that may be a problem is Lashley thinks he can in any way overpower the giant.

Hopefully he’ll have the wisdom and good coaching (which he should, as he trains at a very good camp in American Top Team) to use his wrestling, get the fight to the mat, and submit a very mediocre grappler in Bob Sapp, without getting powerbombed (which Sapp has been known to do occassionally).
