is a difference at all in strength. Sam's current roadblock with Orine, imho, is that he needs to work to finish his shots against KO immediately. KO is as flexible as the come and one of the best defensive wrestlers out there. Sam is notorious for the single leg and looks to secure the leg before finishing the shot using his leverage. Against most opponents, this works fine for SL as his size over most 33 pounders allowed him great leverage to put his opponent off balance and bring him to the mat for the takedown. but Orine has great flexibility and balance so "pausing" after the shot allows him to set up defensively. Sam can get to Kai's legs, but he has to be aggressive in finishing to keep Kai off balance. And Sam needs to stay disciplined for the entire 7 minutes. I think he gets ahead of himself mentally sometimes over extends himself ... eventually costing points.
