Ouma fought sick?

[SoCaL_951]

i read Michael Katz's article at maxboxing.com where Ouma may have gone into that fight sick. This may be the reason why he wasn't as impressive as we've seen him against Kofi Jantuah.

MORE FOR YOUR $4.99: Kassim Ouma, who was to defend here tonight against Roman Karmazin, appeared fine at the Orleans press conference a couple of days ago. But one of Don King's men - Fuzzy has promotional rights on the Russian - slipped into the 154-pound title-holder's training last Friday and saw Ouma throwing up after the workout. "I think one of his guys had walking pneumonia and gave him a bug," said the spy...It would be Karmazin's only shot against the multitalented Ouma, the 9-2 favorite now promoted by Golden Boy

Then he really didn't take Karmazan seriously and thought he'd win regardless.

If it's true then it could explain the sluggish performance.

There are no excuses once you step into that ring. Think Kostya Tszyu was responsible for saying that when he said Mitchell was faking a knee injury.

Ouma seemed unimpressive in his last fight as well. I give it up to Kamarzin for a great performance and I'm happy that he is now a junior middleweight belt holder. Kudos to him. I'm sure we will see a rematch so if Ouma was sick he will have a second chance.

it's becuz Ouma cut off his braids. If he had the braids, he woulda performed betta.

It is a proven fact that once you change your hairstyle, you lose your next fight.

Tua grew a ridiculous afro, and Lewis nearly knocked it off

Forrest shaved his head, and Mayorga got in more punches

Mayorga turned his hair orange, and Trinidad turned his face red

Trinidad grew his hair out and looked like an *******, and Wright treated him like one

Welcome to the club, Kassim Ouma!

Give me a break what does chaning hairstyles have to do with anything. He lost to the better fighter, plain and simple. Ouma was never that great of a fighter anyway.

Ouma was obvioulsly sick,, he fought like ****. He will be back to form in his next fight.

In the other thread, I said I was speechless as I watched Ouma fight. That was not the Ouma I saw fight before.
