I think Taylor would KO Ouma as well.

i absolutely LOVE all these people on here with the almost ignorant comments about this fight... i'm amazed so many people think this will be a cake-walk for Jermain... it's shocking to say the least.

So shocking i'm almost tempted to keep a tally of names (many here), then scold them right after this fight and make them write "I will learn about a broader number of boxers." on a chalkboard a million times.. because in no way is this an easy fight for Jermain Taylor.


I will say this. Ouma is suseptible (spelling?) to knockdowns. And i can see Taylor possibly knocking Ouma down maybe once or even twice during the bout, but i would never put any money on Taylor "knocking him out", which so many of you are 100% sure will be the case.

This is going to be a very close fight, IMO. Ouma is a smart, pressure fighter to can be very irritating to opponents at times.

yes, taylors past exposed dimmness wether from pressure of fighting the best or just being dimm , will give ouma plenty of chances.i just philosiphys that taylor is going to settle in and exibit more pro boxing skills with less pressure on him.i could be wrong. and am going to be pissed off if hbo favors taylor getting a lopsided gift. ouma is worthy. but a dumb young tayor can still walk through an ouma.but ouma could win on points.he'll need a lot of points against hbo taylor.

Never seen Ouma fight but I think Jermaine will definently win this fight.

how can you even make a prediction if you've never seen Ouma fight?

I also think that Taylor will stop Ouma, not cuz Ouma can't take a punch, but he aint scared of being hit and he likes to trade...I can also see Ouma winning on the cards...

I think this fight is alot closer than anyone is thinking. Ouma is a very smart fighter, much smarter than Taylor. He knows how to nullify a bigger guy. In the Jantuah fight, Ouma got in close and threw short punches at a distance where his opponent couldnt return fire. He's gonna do the same thing against Taylor, landing short punches in close and smothering Taylor's power and making him work hard inefficiently.

I think Taylor will eschew his defense and just try to fight, and that will get him in alot of trouble with Ouma. You have to box Ouma, if you fight in close you're going to drown. It wouldn't shock me if the more experienced fighter wins.

I think Taylor should try to set-up a knockout using bodypunching and breaking down Ouma, but it would be a bad idea for him to go in there searching for a knockout.

Taylor will KO Ouma. Taylor hits harder than Karmazim and Karmazim hurt Ouma bad.
