Just another one of Wacko's Drunken Round by Rounds : Taylor vs Ouma

[Wacko3205]

Well...once again...it's on.

Here's the thing...ole' Wacko's under the weather this week...I've had the flu & a bad case of the sharts for going on two weeks now.

Train all you want bitches...but if you want to lose weight fast...catch yourself a nice strain of the flu.

Anywho...as usual...it's getting close to that time once again...& you know what that means?

Yep. It's time to sit back, toss the remote, break out the laptops, or just...casually turn your telee towards your compu-station...because my fellow boyo's...it's fight night...I've been juicin up on the cough meds & am on the road to recovery. Hope that by Saturday night I will have totally kicked this bug in the a**...but it aint looking good right now...

Be that as it may, youv'e all already had your say so...so now...I'm gonna have mine.

It's gonna be a slack one...due to the fact that the ole' cought medicine's got me head spinning & I'm just too damned sick right about now to get into all the factors of the fight.

Anywho, this Saturday night at the Alltel Arena in Little Rock, Arkansas the WBC, WBA, & the WBO middleweight titles are all on the line as Kassim Ouma ( 29 fights with 25 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw, & 15 ko's) jumps up in weight to face argueably the best man at 160lbs in Jermain Taylor ( 26 fights with 25, 1 draw, & 17 ko's).

Honestly, I see this fight as a mismatch...a stupid stunt by Ouma's promoters & a gimmee for Taylor.

The thing is...what if it's not? What if Ouma see's something in Taylor that a lot of us have missed? What if Ouma's heart & output is enough to lock in one of the greatest upsets of 2006?

Yeah...what if?

Anyways, I don't see "YES"...not even a "MAYBE" to any of those questions above. Not many of you do either judging from the poll...that being said...if Ouma can actually negate Taylor's (the natural bigger man) jab throughout the fight...then he might have a shot...but I seriously doubt that he can. Taylor's a notch above Ouma in both height, weight, & reach. Kinda makes you wonder just what the fwock they were thinking...

Same thing goes for me...thinking that I would actually be up to the task of coming up with something even halfway readable in my current bed ridden state.

Let's just dispense with the formalities, pop some tops or pour up your poison of choice & head for the couch...wer'e gonna be knee deep up in this shiz once again & I'm pulling out all the stops from the bed for the DRBR this time.

Cheers & koneecheewah bitches...my fever has finally broken...so Saturday will be a better day.

Late round TKO by Jermain Taylor.

Im the first (corrected: second) to respond this week!!

, Wacko

I cannot watch any fights anymore because I moved apartments and this place doesnt have the cable channels we had before. All I have are 6 Korean channels that give me endless torment!! Its horrible. Not even any BBC world news to listen to just for the accents!!

Im going with Taylor actually giving a convincing display. Im hoping Ouma can go the distance though. I like Ouma but he is silly for taking a fight with a much bigger guy....

The move to 160 is just ridiculous IMO, if Kassim was a big 154 pounder that would be one thing but he's not.

Either way, still looking forward to it. Wouldn't be the biggest upset of all time, he'd just have to survive the first 4-6 rounds and wear Taylor out down the stretch. Even then though, gonna be hard to get a decision in Little Rock. And there's obviously a reason why most people are picking Taylor.

And Sal picking him is the ultimate kiss of death.

Sal should stay off of it!! ....I hope Ouma shocks us all, but I just dont see it though...

its not a spelling error, thats how i say his name (MAJ-A-LINI) because i am so unimpressed by him ive heard his name said probably over 100 times in all the fights ive seen him in and still i cant remember his name 5 minutes after a fight he is in, also, he is gonna get destroyed, cherry is the fuckin man!!!

[El Gamo]

CC Wack. I'm looking for JT to look in this fight,a complete mismatch,like Oumafan said,Ouma is a small 154 pounder and hardly a murderous puncher. I can excuse JT for not looking his best v WInky and B Hop,no one looks good against those 2 but I'm looking for him to make a statement here.A knockout would be nice but I DEFINITELY want to see what he has learnt from his time with Steward.

cc wack, easy win 4 taylor im thinking

hope im wrong but cant see it

ive found a formular tht never fails




if sal backs them, there gonna lose, simply as

[pacfan]

How's going Wacko, I love these pre-fight talks so please bear with my usual rambling.

I've seen these two fighters fight only once each so I'll keep this one short. I saw Kassim, I think, on the undercard of Oscar-Mayorga fight, and thought that he was a 'pretty good' fighter - that's how I rate most of the better-known fighters who are good but don't stand out much unlike the Floyds or the Winkies. But Taylor, I've noticed that he's the only one so far who's punches penetrated the the great stonewall of Winky. Not only that, even when he didn't penetrate the gloves, he still hit them hard enough to bang Winky's head through his own gloves. He was able to keep Winky at bay for the entire 12 rounds with his straights and jabs, something most failed to do. Even Trinidad, whom I considered the p4p biggest puncher of the 90's, heir to SRL of the 80's, wasn't able to do that - he just wasn't able to bring his power up with his weight. But the problem with Taylor in that fight was that he was just contented barely keeping Winks at bay. I think he was pretty much intimidated (sorry Taylor fans, I didn't mean to hurt you ) and maybe a bit hurt too and at the end rounds he looked IMO like Tarver before he 'no mass-ed' on Hopkins. I think Winky himself was hurt too, coz they both refused to consider a rematch immediately after the fight.

So to make it brief, Ouma definitely is a pretty good fighter but Taylors got the punch, so watch out.

[TyBuff]

cc wacko, love the DRbR's.

I will be surprised if this fight makes it to the late rounds. Taylor will be to big to strong for Ouma. Ouma's punchs will only have the affect as a fly to a horse, nothing.

Taylor by (T)KO in the middle rounds.
