I haven't seen him and know that even though Ouma is on the serious decline, he is a touch SOB. Who sees this fight not going 10 rounds and who sees it going the distance?
I think he could but Ouma is a tough tough fighter. If I had to guess? I'd suggest that Ouma will get stopped by the doctors around round 8-ish.
Anything is possible but Ouma has that "faded gatekeeper" stench to him now and I've yet to see a fight from Vanes that wasn't impressive in so it's hard to really pick Ouma. I think some people will be surprised at how technically refined Vanes is. Still threw some cents on Ouma though. +750.
Ya know it's so hard to tell. Ouma hasn't been knocked out before and his chin is rock solid. I'd avoid that.
I know +750 looks nice to throw some money on just based the potential earnings but the odds are that way for a reason. Ouma has no shot tonight. This is not one of those scenarios where the crafty, older fighter pulls one last upset out of his bag of tricks.. because Ouma was never really the clever tactician. Not really a chess player.. He comes forward and throws lots of leather, but he has no power. So let's review.. no chance of outboxing Vanes.. no chance of knocking him out.. and Ouma has looked worse and worse with each fight. Not even worth throwing a penny his way IMO But hey I hope Ouma proves me wrong and makes me look like a total ******* tonight. I just don't see it.. it's mission impossible for Ouma. I truly believe that. The only question is whether Ouma goes all 10.
Ouma is a tough customer and his style really suits him. He can take shots pretty well, ask Taylor or he says his grandmother.
