Sam Crossed Looking for a Shot on National Television

Sam Crossed Looking for a Shot on National Television

By: Bryant Romero

Undefeated Crusierweight prospect Sam “The Vanilla Gorilla” Crossed is almost three years into his professional career where he is now (7-0, 5 KOs) as he’s looking to gain more notoriety and land a TV slot on a network in the near future. The 31-year-old from Maryland is realistic about his career and is currently not thinking about world title aspirations, but taking it one fight at a time and looking to improve in each outing. Boxinginsider recently caught up with Sam to talk about his career what finally made him turn pro at the age of 28.

“My buddy of mine started taking me to the gym when I was younger and I went to the gym when I was 14, but I didn’t really do anything because I didn’t take it serious,” said Sam. I just did it just for training and stuff. I got smacked around a little bit from the older kids when I was younger, so it always kind of motivated me to want to beat their ass when I got older. So when I got the opportunity to box, I just stuck with it.”

Sam as an amateur had 25 fights which he says “should have been a lot more but I was with a guy for awhile that wasn’t really helping me out.” He basically trained himself from the amateurs up until his fourth fight as professional. It was Sam’s last amateur bout that convinced him that he will make a run in the professional ranks.

“In my last amateur fight I fought guy that was 6’5 and 230 pounds,” Sam explained to me. “It was a tough fight and it was close but I lost, he definitely beat me and I was like you know I’m not getting any younger, I might as well turn pro and try to make some money at least. We just decided to go for it.”

As a pro, Sam is just looking to set “smaller goals” and not talking to the press about being a world champion just 7 fights into his pro boxing career. He’s right now just enjoying the moment, enjoying the training and the journey while he pushes to getting significant paydays in the future.

“I do smaller goals, I only have 7 pro fights I’m not talking about how I’m going to be world champ. I set smaller goals. I’m not just doing this for money because I really don’t make shit to be honest at this point.” Sam told me.

“Absolutey I want to make money doing it and I want to make a good payday. I just feel like right now I enjoy doing it, I like it. I have a lot of people that are interested in my career and I’m just setting smaller goals at this point, plus I don’t want to regret it when I get older, not going for it,” he said.

Sam and his manager Mike Walters have been able to get by so far without the presence of a promoter. Being that Sam is a significant ticket seller to the cards he fights on, he’s been able to get away with it. But Sam admits that eventually as he gets deeper into his career and keeps winning; it will be tougher to get fights and will eventually have to sign with a promoter.

“I prefer it (without a promoter) to be honest but the only problem is that this last year it was hard for me to get a fight. I think that would be helpful if a promoter came in. Otherwise me and my manager have done a great job for my career, especially for a guy that wasn’t a decorated amateur,” Sam said.

“We sell a lot of tickets; we’ve done a lot so I’m happy with it so far. I think at some point there’s probably going to be a time I will need to sign with a promoter, but right now I think we’re doing great.”

Sam told me that about 90% of people that buy tickets to his fights are people that don’t even follow boxing and that having somebody to follow that they know, keeps them coming back.

The 31-year-old has scored some highlight reel knockouts in his career and in the amateurs he relied on his power, but now with a stronger supporting cast, he is looking to develop into a boxer/puncher.

“I think I have power and I can punch, but there was time I was relying on that,” he told me. So I think I’ve been becoming more of a boxer/puncher based off what my coaches are getting me to do.

“Up until my fourth pro fight I literally just trained myself. It was hard, I was lost and now I train with Jarrett Hurd and his coaches. I’m at the same gym with him. You wouldn’t even recognize me between now and before I started training there. I feel like I’m just getting better too and just getting more comfortable with boxing,” Sam said.

For 2018, Sam’s goals in boxing are simple, be active, get as much fights as possible and maybe even get a TV date this year.

“I want to get two or three more fights this year, possibly get a TV date and just keep moving up and see it where it takes us,” Sam said. “I just want to stay busy and get the right fights and hopefully move towards making some decent money at least. I’m enjoying the ride that’s all it matters.”

  96. Thanks for your post right here. One thing I’d like to say is most professional domains consider the Bachelor’s Degree as the entry level requirement for an online certification. Whilst Associate Certifications are a great way to begin, completing your Bachelors opens up many opportunities to various occupations, there are numerous internet Bachelor Diploma Programs available coming from institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another thing is that many brick and mortar institutions offer you Online editions of their diplomas but generally for a significantly higher charge than the institutions that specialize in online degree programs.

  97. I have noticed that in digital cameras, exceptional detectors help to {focus|concentrate|maintain focus|target|a**** automatically. Those kind of sensors with some surveillance cameras change in contrast, while others start using a beam with infra-red (IR) light, especially in low lumination. Higher specification cameras from time to time use a mix of both systems and will often have Face Priority AF where the photographic camera can ‘See’ a new face while focusing only upon that. Many thanks for sharing your thinking on this site.

  98. There is noticeably a bundle to find out about this. I assume you made sure nice points in options also.

  114. Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for beginner blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

  115. I was skeptical, but after several months of fiat on-ramp, the trustworthy service convinced me. The updates are frequent and clear.

  116. Hey there, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, awesome blog!

  117. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100 certain. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos

  118. Yet another thing I would like to mention is that in lieu of trying to fit all your online degree courses on days that you complete work (as most people are exhausted when they get back), try to find most of your instructional classes on the saturdays and sundays and only 1 or 2 courses on weekdays, even if it means a little time away from your saturdays. This is fantastic because on the saturdays and sundays, you will be a lot more rested in addition to concentrated with school work. Thx for the different suggestions I have mastered from your weblog.

  119. Spot on with this write-up, I really suppose this web site needs rather more consideration. I?ll probably be again to learn rather more, thanks for that info.

  120. Yet another thing I would like to say is that as an alternative to trying to fit all your online degree courses on days and nights that you finish work (since the majority people are drained when they return), try to get most of your lessons on the saturdays and sundays and only a few courses on weekdays, even if it means taking some time away from your weekend. This is really good because on the weekends, you will be more rested in addition to concentrated for school work. Thanks alot : ) for the different tips I have acquired from your blog.

  121. I found your blog web site on google and check a number of of your early posts. Continue to maintain up the superb operate. I simply additional up your RSS feed to my MSN Information Reader. Looking for forward to reading extra from you afterward!?

  122. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something informative to read?

  123. I am grateful for your post. I would really like to write my opinion that the tariff of car insurance varies from one coverage to another, since there are so many different facets which contribute to the overall cost. As an example, the brand name of the vehicle will have a significant bearing on the price tag. A reliable outdated family car will have an inexpensive premium than just a flashy performance car.

  124. I value the trustworthy service and fast transactions. This site is reliable.

  125. The checking analytics process is simple and the useful analytics makes it even better. Great for cross-chain swaps with minimal slippage.

  127. I do accept as true with all of the concepts you’ve presented for your post. They’re very convincing and will definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for newbies. Could you please extend them a bit from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.

  128. This is really interesting, You are a very skilled blogger. I’ve joined your rss feed and look forward to seeking more of your magnificent post. Also, I’ve shared your site in my social networks!

  129. Thanks for your recommendations on this blog. Just one thing I would like to say is the fact purchasing electronic devices items in the Internet is not something new. The truth is, in the past decade alone, the marketplace for online electronics has grown considerably. Today, you’ll find practically just about any electronic tool and product on the Internet, ranging from cameras plus camcorders to computer spare parts and gambling consoles.

  130. I appreciate, cause I found exactly what I was looking for. You’ve ended my 4 day long hunt! God Bless you man. Have a great day. Bye

  131. I have come across that these days, more and more people are now being attracted to digital cameras and the area of pictures. However, being photographer, you will need to first spend so much time period deciding the model of dslr camera to buy and moving via store to store just so you may buy the most economical camera of the trademark you have decided to settle on. But it isn’t going to end at this time there. You also have take into consideration whether you should buy a digital photographic camera extended warranty. Thanks a lot for the good points I obtained from your web site.

  132. Hey there! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any suggestions?

  133. One thing I’ve noticed is that there are plenty of myths regarding the lenders intentions when talking about foreclosure. One misconception in particular is the bank needs to have your house. The lender wants your cash, not your home. They want the money they loaned you along with interest. Staying away from the bank will only draw a foreclosed final result. Thanks for your publication.
