Comments Thread For: Berman Feels Oosthuizen Blew Big Fight Opportunity

[STEELHEAD]

Tommy Oosthuizen's draw against Brandon Gonzales may have put plans for more international fights for him in doubt.

The South Africa, who holds the IBO super-middleweight title, drew with Gonzales in the United States last Saturday night.

Golden Gloves promoter Rodney Berman on Monday described Oosthuizen's performance as "a massive setback".

Oosthuizen looked so pathetic in last fight no one will want to fight him when he uses that panzy style of grabbing and holding.

Oosthuizen will concede no rematch...
Following the draw he still is the IBO champ as he defeated Fulgencio Zuniga (?!?) back in November...

Why wouldn't he? It wasn't a 'loss' but as his promoter stated it's "massive setback." A rematch win over Gonzales would get Oothuizen back on track in his burgeoning career. It's a trend in boxing these days. Look at Proska-Hope, Mitchell-Banks, Price-Thompson.

Also, HBO probably would buy this fight as the first one was entertaining

Oosthuizen looked like crap. This was his chance to prove what he's capable of doing and he didn't do anything at all.

I had Gonzales winning the fight and honestly I think he has more future because he's more entertaining than Tommy.

İ thought he should of been more aggresive; but i guess thats not his style. He would of finished gonzales off if he had 15 rounds
