Thomas Oosthuizen vs. Serge Yannick. Another mismatch?

    Actually you are right, he does have faster hands than Ward, I like Oosthuizen though don't get me wrong, he's got huge potential.

    Ward definately doesn't have faster hands, infact I can't really think of a super middle that throws faster combos right now. I also forgot to mention, he has decent pop but even better timing and that's what makes him such a good boxer.

    Yeah his combos are explosive, new trick I guess. Never used to be this fast. Timing on counters are magnificent. And I still see him improving with each fight. Defense lacks somewhat but he used a new defense against Sierra. Did you notice the shoulder roll and parry? Also new to his fighting.

    Good to know he's improving on some of his weaknesses. Man shame no one has uploaded that Sierra fight on youtube.

    Not sure if it was there Sierra fight but that was a prime example of Tommy getting bored and jus coasting along. It seemed as though he could finish it @ anytime and yet decided to get the rounds in and work on a few things...I will say tho, he seems to have alotta fun in there!

    Yeah he does seem sort of playful when he has it easy in there. But that does frustrate opponents, mindgames is a powerfull thing in there. Not much has been said about his chin which is likely his best attribute. Ive watched all his fights apart from his debut and never even seen him wobbled or really noticebly hurt by a punch.
