Taylor vs Ouma

[vB Martin]

...Ouma is a good fight no doubt, and mad props to ouma for taking this on. Itll be fun either way.

I totally agree. In fact, I'm debating flying to Arkansas and taking my little brother to the fight.

It depends what JT shows up. I he can keep that jab popping in the middle of the rind and follow up with combos he could make it easier for him. I also think it is a bad fight for him. After 3 unimpressive wins in a row, he should fight an ok opponent and show why people like him to begin with.

Ouma can make this a good fight but I think Taylor has a strong edge in this fight.

What are your thoughts on Ouma's chances here?

He lives and dies on his volume punching, but I don't see what he can do to Taylor that Winky didn't do (in a fight that was fairly even).

Ouma may be able to throw more shots than Winky did, but I don't think he'll be as successful minus the jab Winky has, and the defense.

Ouma is much more hit-able.

It's a solid fight for Taylor regardless, especially coming off the fights agaisnt Winky and Hopkins.

But I don't think Ouma is a live under dog here.

Anyone give him much of a shot?

Ouma is hittable but Taylor is just as hittable. Ouma's style will give Taylor all kinds of trouble. Taylor is at his best when he's the one applying pressure not when his opponent is the one applying the pressure. Taylor's stamina isn't top notch either.

With Ouma's pressure, workrate and stamina I see him outlanding Taylor in a close fight. The decision however would go in Taylor's favor as usual.

A bad fight for him? The guy is for real dude. He doesn't want to get an impressive win against second rated mediocre fighters. He wants to fight the best and that's what he's doing.
