    Sammy Horowitz is a stuntman, playwright/screenwriter and actor from Chicago. Sammy was a member of a predominantly Latino street gang and spent 8 years, 7 months, and 15 days in prison. After prison Sammy spent time as a bouncer, stick up artist, M.M.A. fighter, and eventually a full-time professional boxer who competed in prize fights all over the country. He eventually found the entertainment industry, first as a stuntman hustling his way to find work and fight for his due, and eventually ending up as a writer on POWER BOOK IV: FORCE.

      for real, and some dudes you cannot judge by their size or build at all, got hit by a dude one time (wasnt big, wasnt built, didnt carry any pride in the walk etc etc, just an average jelly belly), dude knocked me the fuck out, fell flat on the concrete, ended up a busted jaw and skull fractures from the fall, i dont even remember the actual punch or 24hours or so after the punch, that memory was erased 100%, be careful, sometimes a dude you would never guess can throw hammers with both hands

I gave up all that street fighting shxt years ago. I used to train and box and it's so much more like disciplined and more controlled and it's not likely you're gonna die in the middle of the ring.

    Having spent a few calendars in the penitentiary myself, it's always interesting to hear stories from fellow ex-cons about their experiences in various units across the country. Obviously there are differences in the politics, depending on where you get locked up, and also whether it's state VS the feds too, so I enjoy listening to stories like this. It's easy to relate that to my own personal experiences in prison. Great episode though, and I'm glad I stumbled across JB's podcast.
    Edit: Also, it's pretty funny that they talked about that "old man strength", as that's what the young bucks said about me when I was locked up too -- even though I was only 28 at the time I got locked up.

    However he never gave a shit about strength, he says that being able to do 150 plus push ups and sit ups and squats is far more important in a fight against a similar weight class person is more beneficial than benching more than him...
    Funny thing is, he benches 485lbs when he goes to a gym, but he doesn't ever go to a gym, only once every three months.
