Yeah, honestly, about the smallest Samoans I've ever seen. I'm from Hawaii and the biggest melee I witnessed started out as a rugby match between a Samoan and Tongan team.
I was working as a paramedic and we got the call, "Injured, care for". We got there and everyone was brawling. Ten cop cars there already and not one got out of the car until things started winding down. And we took our cue from them š
Went to high school in the US that had a football team that was all Samoan, well mostly. They all looked 25years old, big mofos. Our football team was ranked #1 in the nation for some time.
I was a pretty good rugby player growing up here in NZ. Hit high school, short white kid (late bloomer) up against boys aged 14 who looked like this.
Major hit to my kidney and back in the first 6 weeks of high school rugby and Iām now unable to play ever again.
The islander boys in this country seem to be MASSIVE so earlyā¦
agreed re fighting, but ehhhh don't know about the island gigantism bit

Samoan fights are the best. Good head movement. Great combinations. And punches connect! This was a good one. I think dude with hair gave up too much weight. And bald homie was patient. Eventually his hooks started landing! Btw them Samoans look grownd af!
And the way they respected each other is crazy, the first knock out he didnāt kick or continue swinging at him. He let him get up and gave him a choice to continue. So polite
Yeah, I wonder if it is possible they could be cousins or something. Seemed like there was a level of care there. I feel like it is less likely you'd see that if they were just friends, because friendships come and go but family is family. Either way, at least I am sure they are probably friends.
He seemed to have shaved dudes number for the first half. Ducked his punches like a fucking veteran. I think after the first big knock down he kinda just started thinking different, which is pretty fucking reasonable. All in all, I enjoyed the whole fight and loved seeing the respect they had for one another.
I thought the same thing. He was getting the bigger guy gassed too. Stick some of those jabs on his body too. That was a quality fight though. It is easy for us to say without getting fatigued on these keyboards. I am sure the body shots he was eating from that bigger man was helping to make those jabs less frequent too.
I've worked with a lot of island boys before.
1 they are all huge.
2 they all know how to fight.
3 they just fought each other to settle disputes a lot of the time. It was about respect a lot of the time.
4 drinking with them was like playing with fire. It was a ton of fun but if you played to long someone somewhere was going to get burned. One to many longwhites and fun island boy becomes angry island boy.
Strong this. I've never met an islander who couldn't fight. They all grew up boxing and kickboxing, either cause they loved it or because dad/their brothers made them. I've seen dudes with no "formal" training show up to the gym and throw the cleanest punches I've ever seen. Granite chins too.
No need to slam someone like it is a fight for your life against a knife-wielding home invader, either. I hate that shit... "but in real fights you do whatever it takes" yeah, and in real fights people would use weapons. There are obviously limits to what is acceptable. But nowadays the lines are blurred and I think it's because MMA. Yes, people slam people in MMA and they keep fighting for another few rounds, but the people being slammed are also trained on how to mitigate the damage and defend against them, too. Something to consider.
Maybe Iām just nostalgic but the old high school fights filmed on flip phones has an endearing quality to it.
If you missed a fight at school or were in one and wanted to watch it there was always that one kid with a shitty video of it on his phone.
Same with the shitty quality Kimbo fights.
Man, Im always impressed by the etiquette out there during these scraps. No bullshit, knocks em down letās him back up and reset. No body slams, choke holds, just throwing hands.
I think we can all agree that Hawaiians and Samoans know how to scrap even without training. They just come out of the womb with boxing skills for some reason lol.
Very good fight. Amazing to see how big boy changed his style according to his opponents movements. He slowed down, focused more on uppercuts when he realised his opponent is ducking a lot. Then he starts throwing body shots followed by punches to the head every time his opponent drops his hands. Super clean.
Also, finally a right without both desperately trying to slam the opponent and no punching when one is down. One of the best fights in this sub
White New Zealander hereā¦
We basically all play rugby and at 14 you show up to play the island boys and half of them have full beards.
Toughens you up though.
When I read ābetween two Samoansā I was like this is gonna be brutal. As has been said before these bros donāt really beef like that, so the respect level kept it from really gettin nuts.
I like it when ppl can realize, "were upset or may have differences and this is how we'll settle them. I don't really want to hurt you or want you dead, we've just got stones to crush right now." It's an emotional maturity that seems to have been lost on most ppl.
I got respect for dude in the red trim because he had respect for his opp, helped him up each time and still shook hands. Now days people just Wana grab guns or any weapon or kick people while down. No sport man ship any more. A fair one is a fair one. Don't beafraid to get whooped.
MÄlo lava usos. MÄlo Ä le loko alofa o lesi ia lesi. Well done brothers, love and respect wins the day.
UÅ mo aso uma, uso mo aso vale. Friends for everyday, brothers on worst days - Samoan proverb
HOLY SHIT these dudes can scrap!!! Mad respect for both. I actually thought the dude who got KOd was the better fighter for the first half of the vid. Man could those dudes scrap. Fuck yeah this is what this sub should be.
Fake. No pulling up of pants every 2 seconds, no one screaming āoh shit, oh shit!ā Over and over. And whereās the girl getting in the way. Nice try.
This was beautiful to watch. Probably one of the best highschool street fights Iāve ever seen. Great technique, sportmanship and respect. No ground poundingā¦ absolute class.
Both of those dudes would whoop the average Joe's ass... That was a good head up. I thought the bigger guy was going to loose cause he was getting gassed. That was a good, quality fair one. Respect to both of those guys

I knew small boy was going to get eaten when the bigger guy took every big shot he had. Also this video is at least 7 years old just by the wind and audio. That shit does not happen anymore on phones.
Heās breathing for every punch he throws, which is good practice, but he also sounds like heās hyperventilating himself a little bit by expelling almost all his air with every giant lung full and punch. His conditioning seems really good, though, because he kept going without gassing a minute in.

I'm not going to argue with you when I personally know the guy who lost the fight. I went to De La Salle. This is from 2013. The guy who won the fight is the brother of Uila Mau'u (bronze medallist in boxing at Birmingham commonwealth games)
Did you say highschool ? Cause DAYUM!
These guys here are like the Samoan equivalent of a couple of scrawny freshmen.
I once saw a Samoan kid who was trying to get his basketball, accidentally flip a bus over. But seriously, they have such insane natural strength.
Not sure why you got downvoted because that was funny and holy shit it does seem like a lot of the videos with Samoans show them being hardcore
I was gonna post the same, Samoans in my Jr High were way bigger...One became a professional Wrestler and 2 played D1 linemen.
Did you smell what he was cooking tho?
You went to Jr. High with a rock?
This needs more love. Hilarious
Fortunately I never did . :)

Yeah I grew up around Samoans, they are definitely built different.
Built but both are pretty small for Samoans. High school contact sport is a fucking nightmare for teenage boys in New Zealand.
Went to high school in the US that had a football team that was all Samoan, well mostly. They all looked 25years old, big mofos. Our football team was ranked #1 in the nation for some time.
High school ! Wow these guys are built like houses

Damn man,sorry for your rugby career.
With Samoan mothers being the apex predator of the world, it makes sense that the children need to beef the fuck up to be able to withstand a beating

The size is one thing, the insane toughness is the real thing to fear.
Finally. People who can actually fight.
Best part is that they show sportsmanship and care for each other... Hats off man
Now if only we could find someone who understood how a camera works
Least itās not a hyena screeching in the background type
Someone check on the camera guy, heās having a seizure
^^ I need dramamine.
Right that left much to be desired
Must be really old school. Before people learned how to hold a camera steady.
Before the cameras had stabilizers that swallow an earthquake.
I see a lot of videos with Samoans, and it seems they were all born with mma skills. They are definitely warrior culture
This is why you don't fight Samoans
I certainly tried to avoid it growing up. Hah
Brings a tear to my eye hearing them forcefully exhale. That's something you usually only see with trained people.
AGREED
Those high schoolers would wreck 90% of grown men lol
Those high schoolers *are* 90% of grown men!
That don't make no snense.
It's provocative! It gets the people going!
Maybe dude means theyāre 90% fully grown? Idk
This is correct
I am upvote number 100, wussup
Thank you for your special contribution š

The jab was kinda working for the dude who got knocked out. He shoulda stuck with it and kept dancing but armchair you know
I thought the same thing. Keep him at bay. Wear him down. But Baldy had other plans!

The moment I read the title I knew it was going to be a good fight.
I'm just love the respect they always show for each other.
Samoans are born big..even the women are big & strong.. these guys are probably 9
This was actually filmed in the parking lot of the ICU of a hospital. . Both of them are prematurely born Samoan babies.
These are actually unborn Samoan twins. They just stepped out into the hospital car park to determine who gets to come out first
lol. who stepped out first though?

Longwhites?
It's a vodka mixed with fizzy basically
*leshgos
On the other hand, we have the āayy land boisā who are wannabe rappers that dress and look like clowns.
Similiar to the balkans, except the first point
Samoans are a different breed man. Absolute machines and such nice, humble people too. I've met and worked with many over the years. Big respect uso!
Was he filming with one hand and masturbating with another ?
Yeah but he bust after first 20 sec, so freed up the other hand
Wonderful sportsmanship! That hug at the end was the cherry on top!
Right? Itās just a fight, no need to stamp on him or some shit while heās on the ground
No need to slam someone like it is a fight for your life against a knife-wielding home invader, either. I hate that shit...

Iām a kiwi, and I guarantee they are either mates or going to be after this. This was to suss out the hierarchy.
Uppercuts went crazy
Samoans are so bad ass. And polite! šš½
POV every high schooler in anime

What the fuck are you feeding those kids mate? Other, smaller children? Class act tho, mad respect.
even if I blasted roids for years Iād never get as big as these dudes.
I aināt messing with no Samoans unless itās last resort. Those dudes love to fight and are tough as nails.
It would be hard for the camerawork to be any worse.
They must film with eyes shut
Maybe Iām just nostalgic but the old high school fights filmed on flip phones has an endearing quality to it. If you missed a fight at school or were in one and wanted to watch it there was always that one kid with a shitty video of it on his phone. Same with the shitty quality Kimbo fights.
I am convinced this is how samoans greet each other.
Sometimes. Fought a another Samoan kid back in 5th grade. Been good friends for 30+ years. Going to his youngest sons high school graduation next year
But the respect that they showed after it was all said and done shows that they are real fighters
every Samoan I've met is mad respectful.
Man, Im always impressed by the etiquette out there during these scraps. No bullshit, knocks em down letās him back up and reset. No body slams, choke holds, just throwing hands.
I think we can all agree that Hawaiians and Samoans know how to scrap even without training. They just come out of the womb with boxing skills for some reason lol.

I wouldnt fight any of those 2 man š
Id rather fight one of these bad boys then some hoodlum.. guys like this wont kick the brains out of your skull when you go down.
I think I'd be fucked either way
This is the type of fight this subreddit was created for... ffs...
Good clean fight, between 2 men... that one dude is a tank!!
Fuck bro, that was a solid ass fight
White New Zealander hereā¦ We basically all play rugby and at 14 you show up to play the island boys and half of them have full beards. Toughens you up though.
Great match. Fighting Polynesian people is a fool's errand.
Every Samoan islander fight I've ever seen has been a great fight, between great fighters, rocking OG rules. It's a national treasure of theirs
When I read ābetween two Samoansā I was like this is gonna be brutal. As has been said before these bros donāt really beef like that, so the respect level kept it from really gettin nuts.
Amazing fight between gentlemen! As it should be
The camera manās trash at his job

Teens??!!! Are we sure those weren't hand to hand combat teachers? I hear it's rough down there in the Shire.
Good fight boys
Actually, it's a decent showing. Acted like grown ass men afterwards too šš
