The truth is Ouma backed out of the fight because of $$$. The fight was off the PPV so both fighters were going to have to take a cut and Ouma declined.
Mora is not even relevant in the BIG MW picture. His ranking is laughable and embarassing. He's a fringe contender and that's what the show should be called.
he's an average fighter. he seems like he's in it more for just fame and having people know who he is, than for money and fighting... which is why he wont fight anyone...
chances are hes gonna figt kelly pavlik in ohio early 2008..........and he already said he would like to fight in ohio.....
but yeah pavlik is nobody...

judging by what the other posters have said i though he has pulled out.. hes has pulled outta fights b4
he pulled out of ONE fight before...a fight people thought he dint deserve anyway...
dude you said you didnt know the story and wouldnt say bad things of him till you heard it, and now youre saying he avoided ouma...
when the fireworks card got cancelled, mora and ouma were gonna fight on october 16th in the contender special.....but being that it was no longer as big an event as it was before, the promoters asked mora and ouma to accept a pay cut, mora accepted, ouma didnt..it didnt help that ouma got himself in a minor car accident either.....its not mora's fault...
he fights october 16th against elvin ayala....espn classic..
judging by what the other posters have said i though he has pulled out.. hes has pulled outta fights b4
damn wo is this ayala bum. i guess we wont see mora fight anyone good.
whenever he does step up i just wanna see this bitch get ktfo
what do you think of witter judah 2?
did he work his way to the title shot? no...i dont get why people get annoyed at him turning down the fight when he would still get shit for getting a title shot he didnt deserve...............
he syas he wants to work his way to the title shot....but seeing the gaint outrage of hate after he turned the taylor fight down, he sid if the opportunity comes before he will accept it now.....and he may egt the shot at pavlik early next year and will fight in kellys home state of ohio...
Well i wish him nothing but luck when he faces pavlik. thats gonna be a very difficult fight for him. But thats the point of boxing. if it was easy everybody would be doing it.
I like Sergio Mora.
He's an entertaining fighter albeit he doesn't have the knockout power but he comes to fight.
To be honest, I think it's hilarious when he starts taunting his opponents and their corner.
He's a good fighter, not great, but good.
I lost respect for mora when he pulled out of a title shot against taylor. the point of boxing is working your way up to that title shot. when one is offered you should feel honored for the opportunity and take it. He didnt which makes me question his position in boxing as a warrior. Manfredo didnt back out of his shot and he doesn't back down. Thats why I respect Manfredo more than mora. I honestly thought manfredo won their second fight.

yea man.. i feel the same way. this guy is afraid of a fuckin challenge man.. turns down JT, and ouma.. why? b/c he will lose..
ouma has way too much offense..
isnt that bitter sweet. hes fighting the same night as his fellow contender haha

To actually answer the question, since the Fireworks card got cancelled, the Mora/Ouma fight had to be put somewhere else, and it was decided to be on the Contender Special Gomez/Tackie card. However, Ouma got into a car accident and suffered a minor injury, which prevented that from happening, and re-scheduling it would take time since there are so many big fight cards coming up. Both have been inactive for a while, with Mora's inactivity being over a year now. So Mora decided to take a stay busy fight on the October 16th Gomez/Tackie card, and Ouma is doing the same in November on Telefutura. Now it's looking like Mora might get a matchup with Duddy or Pavlik after this.

whats up with this guy. why isnt he fighting ouma anymore?
i dont wanna say anything negative because i dont know the story.. any1 know whats up?
Sergio Mora is one of the most cowardly boxers in the sport today. He pulled out from a million $ 'gift' title shot from Taylor b/c he was afraid. Enough said....
