Comments Thread For: Oosthuizen Jailed on Drugs Charge, Mchunu Fight is Now Off

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Almost predictably, Tommy Oosthuizen's ambition to return to the ring has been put on ice. The troubled former IBO champion is in jail on a drugs charge and is due to appear in court on March 19. One bail application has already been unsuccessful. Consequently, promoter Rodney Berman has scrapped plans to match him with Thabiso Mchunu at Emperors Palace in June.

Yes. Well. No real surprises here. Tommy's life outside the ring has always kinda got in the way of his career. I'd care more, but frankly I never particularly rated him anyway.

[turnedup]

I remember when they were pushing him heavily in boxing ads here as "Tommy gun" always sucks to see people ruin themselves like this regardless of what his talent level really was.

[Tonyu]

He had the talent to be one of the best but he threw it all away what a waste. About 5 years ago he could of faced Ward but he did this to himself no one but himself to blame, sad really.

why don't they bust red balls and throw his cheating butt in jail

[richardt]

This Oosthuizen guy has been a head case for years now so no surprise here.

[BigZ44]

This guy's a foolish bum, hopefully he disappears from boxing

He's got money to pay under the table. One guy is in jail other is free to box

Drug charges covers a lot of territory. Before his soul is cast forever into the boxing pit of despair, does anyone know what the charges are exactly? Something like selling heroin in front of a preschool or something like toking a J in an Alabama motel room?

The only part that surprised me was this dumb azz writer calling him a "champ".And then later getting it rightand saying he was a top 10 contender.Even that a bit of a stretch.Ibo IS NOT a REAL title.
