It was a breakout moment for Louis “The Razor” Robinson at Power Slap 17, where the British standout dismantled James Siekmann in a heavyweight clash that turned plenty of heads. For many North American fans, this was the first time seeing Robinson compete — but by the end of the night, everyone knew his name.
With speed, composure, and precision, the Brit Slap veteran made a powerful statement: the UK is here to stay in the world of Power Slap.
“Once I found my range, I was dropping him no problem.”
Robinson entered the bout with a clear game plan — use his speed and accuracy to neutralize Siekmann’s size and power.
“I knew my speed would be a factor,” Robinson said. “I’m not a 266-pound fighter. I weighed in at 230 and was actually losing weight like crazy over there. So I thought, I’m going to have to use my speed. Once I found my range, I was dropping him no problem.”
It wasn’t a perfect start — Robinson admitted the Power Slap podium took some getting used to compared to the Brit Slap barrel — but once he adjusted, the difference was obvious.
“The pressure is massive — but it’s still just a slap fight.”
Competing on the global stage of Power Slap 17 came with pressure few athletes ever experience, but Robinson handled it like a veteran.
“There’s no bigger stage than Power Slap,” he said. “You feel that pressure. But at the end of the day, it’s still a slap fight. Once you’re up there, it’s just you and him.”
“James hit like a bitch.”
When asked about his opponent’s power, Robinson didn’t hold back.
“James and I are friendly now, but yeah, he did his talking online — and I think he regrets it,” Robinson said with a grin. “When he hit me, I thought, ‘Game over.’ I’d take those all night. He hit clean, but I’ve got a solid chin. I’m smaller than most heavyweights, and they find it hard to hit my pocket. When he hit like that — game over.”
It was a brutal, confident assessment from the Brit — and one that backed up his dominance inside the cage.
Carrying Brit Slap on his shoulders
Representing the UK scene on a global broadcast wasn’t lost on Robinson.
“I definitely felt pressure,” he admitted. “I said to my coach, I wasn’t just fighting for myself. I felt like I had to win for a lot of other people too. But I’m glad I could represent and show that we ain’t no amateurs.”
With the win, Robinson instantly became one of the UK’s most important exports in the sport.
The smaller man in a giant division
Standing noticeably shorter than his opponents, Robinson knows his stature is both a challenge and an advantage.
“These guys are huge — Arad, Turner, Nate Burnard, Brian Ellis — all six-five or six-seven,” he said. “They’re big hitters, but they have to be so accurate to find that window. I just need to lean into my strengths. I’m not a natural 266-pound fighter, so I use my size and speed to my advantage.”
Building to 265 — the right way
Despite weighing in around 230 pounds, Robinson has his eyes set on filling out the heavyweight frame — gradually.
“I’d like another mid-table fight next,” he said. “I want to build to 265 naturally, not just by putting fat on. I think by 2026, I’ll get there. I want to do it right — build the muscle, not just the weight.”
But that doesn’t mean fans won’t see him again soon.
“I’ll take a few weeks off,” he said. “My missus is about to have a baby any minute now, so I’ll spend time with family. Then after Christmas, I’m straight back at it. I want to compete at least twice next year.”
“Fighting on home soil — that’d be wild.”
When Power Slap president Frank Lamicella teased a possible UK event in 2026, Robinson’s face lit up.
“That’d be wild,” he said. “That’s different pressure — fighting at home. You could see Darren Godfrey fighting for a belt, me as co-main, Robyn coming back — we’ve got some serious names over here now. The UK’s building fast.”
“Watch out for my brother — The Rhino.”
Before wrapping up, Robinson gave a shout-out to one fighter he says is next in line for international attention.
“I’ve got to throw my brother in there — The Rhino,” he said proudly. “He’s 2–0, broke his last opponent’s jaw in the first round. Big hitter. Give him another win or two and you’ll see a new super heavyweight from Britain in Power Slap.”
The Razor’s message is clear
Louis Robinson didn’t just win — he arrived. With his blend of speed, precision, and charisma, he’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting heavyweights in Power Slap.
And if the sport really does head to the UK in 2026 — expect “The Razor” to be right there under the brightest lights.
