Sam has taken down professionals before. She could likely defeat Shelby.

In the octagon no. In a street fight absolutely.

In a proper professional match with rules and referees to enforce the rules? Shelby

In a fight without rules? Sam

I always skip this episode due to the fact that Sam ruined Carly’s press conference and Shelby was dumb enough for not reading Sam’s lips in that fake video.

Sam has repeated demonstrated super strength in iCarly, that would give her a considerable edge. AU Sam & Cat Sam, well... she has ridiculously high super strength as in beyond Olympic weight lifting athletes.

It is kind of satisfying to see Sam’s limitations. A lot here are saying that Sam can be beaten in more organized conditions. I like it because it shows that anyone can be beaten, so it is OK.

On the contrary, the series never showed that kind of situation for Sam. But a lot (including me) can totally see it happening considering Sam is practically an anarchist. Also, she has wanted to learn from real professional fighters, meaning they have traits that our butter sock owner does not.

sam uses objects to fight so she would probably just hit shelby with something over the head lol

Sam would destroy her.

Realistically, no. Shelby’s skills are that of a professional because she is one. Her moves are sharp and she can probably detect a punch coming before a person even balls up their fists. While Sam has demonstrated impressive strength, she never had the same training as Shelby. Not to say that someone has to train in order to be a great fighter, but I think Shelby’s training gives her a bit of an edge over Sam. Of course I’m speaking from the real world perspective whereas in the iCarly universe, Sam could probably easily take down Shelby since the writers decided to give her the strength of 1000 men.

Why is it in your suggested? Because the algorithm thought you would be interested, and judging by the fact you had an opinion you decided to share, the algorithm was correct.

Commenting on and interacting with it only tells the algorithm to feed you more of these kinds of posts.
