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.
i dont know man, fly on a horse is a little bit of a stretch dont u think? Yes Ouma is a lot smaller and I am predicting a JT victory, but Kassim has mad heart and doesnt stop punching...what is that WWF slogan...ruthless aggression? Guy has that; anyone with that kind of heart and aggression you have to watch out for. I really think he can hit harder than what you described in your entry. I want to see the underdog pull it off here and i think Kassim Ouma has a good chance of pulling out the upset. I have questioned JT's heart before like in the 12th round of the Winky Wright fight (basically doing nothing) and the last round of the first Bernard Hopkins fight (turning away from Hopkins while backed against the ropes and not punching back). That fight I thought should have been a draw or a SD to B-Hop. Either way, if he pulls this against Ouma, without racking up a huge lead first, he could be in trouble. Do I think Ouma can KO him? Probably not, but that doesnt mean he won't stop him if JT stops punching back late like he has made a pattern of. Another thing is that JT is way overlooking and underestimating Kassim Ouma's defensive abilities. Yes he is an offensive fighter but to say that he has no defense is just plain stupid. He's a professional fighter and a world champion. He knows how to defend himself or he wouldnt be where he is. I'm rooting for K.Ouma and the upset but common sense says the bigger taller man will box from the outside to a UD or SD victory.
You have valid points against Taylor, but Ouma wasnt known as power puncher at 154 so I seriously doubt he will some how have more that much more power at 154. So you think Ouma has a better defense that Winky? Taylor has been in with two of best defensive fighters (Bhop and Winky), I dont think Ouma's defense is going to bother Taylor a lot, and if I remember right he had a good showing against both fighters. Regardless if you think he won or lost those fights, he looked better than most people do against thsoe two.
