How the hell...

It's simple. Ouma stayed braced with his hands up when Taylor had distance to punch, and really only opened himself up to throw when Taylor was crowded and had shorter punches. The big punches that landed Ouma was ready for, being defensive and set to take them on the outside. Oh, and he was in great shape (as always) and does have a good chin, as well. :-)

Did Ouma take that much punishment? He was getting hit with big shots and just kept on coming at him, I don't think any other middleweight could do what The Dream did today, if they did they'd at least have been wobbled a couple of times.

Winky was able to take all of Taylors punchs too, don't forget Winky got hit a ton against Taylor too. I think i remember about two time where Taylor stunned Ouma for a second.

i was also impressed with ouma's durability. but i think taylor's overrated power had something to do with it, too.

I know i was one of the people who over rated Taylors power before the Winky fight. He's got power, but not one punch ko power, unless he's got the right opponet.

ouma has always had a great chin

Not true, i looked up Oumas record one time and he got ko'd as a welterweight. Move up to jr. middleweight then was able to take a better shot, untill he ran into Romanzin who put Ouma down i think 2-3 times in a fight.

Taylor can't punch.

He just don't have one punch ko power.

First of all Taylor's punching power has always been overrated. Second, Ouma's chin is weird. Sometimes Ouma can walk through anything and other times he gets knocked down.

The added weight at middleweight surley helped Ouma take Taylors shot.
