Beat me to it, stole the words from my mouth.

Ever since the first time I saw Ouma, his body language, attitude often give off the impression that he can take it or leave it. He has no real fire in his belly IMO. Sure he throws a lot of punches sometimes (which can be mistaken for desire and fire in said belly) but thats just when he knows hes got a fighter beat e.g. Powells lack of power encouraged him to pour on the punches.

I like Ouma, admire him for the way he has made a success out of his life, but like Wacko struggle to throw myself on the bandwagon.

In answer to your question Wacko Id say that the reason you (& me) are struggling to throw yourself into Ouma is he doesnt have that one base thing that attracts us to all fighters. Regardless of what style, nationality or personality of fighter you generally like, we always look for one thing. Desire. Sure Ouma has the desire to box, but as means said earlier, this is likely to be just he has more desire to earn a living boxing rather than at a 9 to 5, or boxing is the only way he believes he can earn a living. Either way he doesnt have that heart of a lion, that fire in the belly, that strong desire that attracts everyone to their favourite fighters so despite his skills and clear talent, I dont think I can ever throw myself fully behind him.
