That's how renowned boxing trainer Lincoln Hudson described Orange southpaw Sam Ah-See.

Not the Sam Ah-See the Orange community will see at Orange Function Centre tonight of course, the Sam Ah-See who came to him in for help several months ago.

The undefeated welterweight describes himself as "twice the fighter I was" thanks to his recent camp in America at Fortune Gym and sparring with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, and his time with Hudson, and his trainer said the transformation was a matter of breaking down his style, and essentially starting again.

"Sammy had to go back to the basics, the fundamentals, he'd lost them," Hudson said.

"Whatever Sam thought he had, and I don't say this to be disrespectful to anyone, but he was a waste of talent.

"He'd come from Orange as a gifted fighter and he came to Sydney and went a bit backwards.

"When he came to me, he learned to box again, he learned to jab again."

Hudson has mentored Ah-See in the lead up to his blockbuster rematch with Filipino Arnel Tinampay, in a rematch of the 2013 bout the former won in a majority decision.

Hudson said despite the apparent controversy of the decision two years ago, tonight's fight will prove once and for all who the better boxer is.

Although, he refused to tip a result, preferring to give both fighters due credit.

"Some say Arnel won (in 2013), but Sam got the result because he was the local lad," Hudson said.

"I can assure [everyone] there is no give and take [tonight]

"Whether you think Sam's going to knock him out, or Sam's going to win, I don't know about that. But I can tell you if Sam performs on the night he will surprise a lot of people, I think they'll see a different Sam Ah-See.

"He's gone back to his craft, the fundamentals. Sam Ah-See now would knock out the Sam Ah-See who fought here last year.

"He just had to touch base with the fundamentals and what he needs to do to win."

Prior to Ah-See's fight, former NRL star Solomon Haumono makes his return to professional heavyweight boxing against kiwi Filipo Masoe, while Orange CYMS' prop Simon Osborne makes his professional debut against Chris McClung on the professional undercard.

The amateur undercard features Des Crawford's bout with Jacob Saunders, Junior Ato's fight against Mitchell Stevens and Jack Littlefield's, of Orange, bout against Parkes' Steve Chislett.

Doors open at 6pm, with the remaining general seating and general tickets to be sold on the door.
