Kassim Ouma and Sechew Powell agree to fight in August!!

Absolutely. And Gringo...how much ya wanna bet? So you are picking Ouma by KO/TKO and that alone...I get everything else right? Or are you just saying Ouma straight up...? If it's the latter then no bet because I think Ouma will winn too...just by decision though. If it's the former then I'm down to throw a billy stack on it.

The Ishe Smith team were negotiating, about an August 5 match up against Powell, I guess Ouma would be a bigger seller, with the amount of fans he has. And Ishe Smith is no joke. Than what is he? It seems every time I see him, he's fuckin crying about something. And how long has it been since he last fought?

I agree. Powell is overrated. That Grady Brewer win was a gift. Absolutely. And Gringo...how much ya wanna bet?

Powell is overrated and already has a gift decision on his record. You guys are just a bit misinformed to think Powell will challenge Ouma. He will not. Ouma will wn this by TKO. Bet points. I agree. Powell is overrated. That Grady Brewer win was a gift.

I'll take the best if you are saying he'll win by TKO and that alone... I think Ouma will win, but by decision. He'll dismantle Powell though, who is not the fighter that some think he is.

So you think he should fight Winky dispite it being a low reward high risk fight because you're angry at Winky? Winky opted to fight Trinidad instead of Ouma in May of last year. That's hardly ducking Ouma, considering Ouma can't crack and the majority of people thought Tito was going to KO Wright. He moved up and fought a big money fight at Middleweight, and then went on to fight Taylor. Ouma (who I like also) got spanked last year at this time by Karmazin. There is NO reason for him to be calling out Winky if he wins this next fight. Karmazin should really be the only name we hear him talking about if he wants to save some face. That, and the Vargas Mosley winner. No need to call out a tricky guy a weight class up when you have big fights in your own division. you forgot to mention that Kassim Ouma was winkys #1 contender for a year, then he finally become his mandatory and instead of facing ouma, winky gives up the title, that is called ducking a fighter.

Because i would like to see what excuse winky has as to why he ducked ouma, and because im tired of winky telling everybody and their mommma that he was ducked, yet he ducked ouma. bascialy i want oums to pull his card -winkys that is.

I still don't understand why you're going on about this. Like I asked before, why as a fan of Ouma would you want to see him fight Wright? He's a weight class up, doesn't have a title, isn't a big money fight and is a risky opponent. It doesn't make sesnse. This is a good fight with a hot prospect and he should be looking at the Vargas Mosley winner.

good to see ouma getting ready for a title shot and on hbo, after his win i'd like to see him call out winky and ask to the camera why winky ducked him and refused to give him a title shot.

I'd rather see Ishe Smith give Powell the first L on his resume, but Ouma will do it instead, so it seems. Ouma is capable of giving Powell his first loss. Smith isn't.

This could be a good fight but I see Ouma outworking Powell and basically doing what he always does to his opponents.

HBO is definetely stepping it up this year. Nice job putting these two matches on the same night.

i can't believe more people aren't talking about this matchup... :(

This has the potential to be a great one. This is a big fight! Im pumped.
