Samson Po'uha
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Samson Po'uha, born June 2, 1972 in Tonga, is a former professional boxer.
[edit] Amateur
As an amateur, Po'uha was a National Golden Gloves Super Heavyweight Champion in 1991 and United States (National AAU) amateur Super Heavyweight champion in 1992.
[edit] Pro
After turning pro in 1992, Po'uha showed good power but was often out of shape . He managed to lose to another former amateur star in Craig Payne (then 11-8) in 1994 and never became a contender. He was KOd in a wild affair by then-undefeated Andrew Golota but later even lost to mediocre Jesse Ferguson. Overall he had a disappointing pro career, retiring in 2002 with a record of 20-5-1 with 18 KOs.
