The Kassim Ouma appreciation thread

[Oggie]

Unless your referring to one of those toys that once they run into a wall they just keep marching into it until their battery dies.

Exactly.
Jermain won easily like I said, that is what makes it all the more amazing. Kassim's desire and will were never dented, no matter how far behind he went (Remember, he could hear the judges scores) and no matter how many flush shots he took. He looked so much more comfortable in there than Taylor!
Like Lyle & CutMeMick said though, he has no business at 160! However, if he goes back down to 154 and performs like that again, he will be difficult for anyone.

to all!

....don't forget what Karmazin did to him though!


I think Ouma-Spinks would be good or Ouma-Mosley

Agree with you!
Trust me, I haven't forgotten the Karmazin fight though... that is what puzzles me... how was he hurt by Karmazin's punches and not Taylor's? Thinking back, Kassim really wasn't himself during the Karmazin fight... when you compare that performance to the one against Taylor or Jantuah especially. He really didn't seem up for it or something?
Either way,
A fight with Mosley or Spinks would be good! He is well capable of beating them if he is the same Kassim that showed up last night.

I appreciate his heart. He did smother his punches though... perhaps on purpose, to not take too much punishment. Smothering prevents the other guy from hitting you hard, but also stops your own arsenal.
