Anyone watching the fights on ESPN tonight??

I thought in those middle rounds Ouma got a bit more active and K9 really stopped doing anything. Ugly fight to score though. Draw would have been ok with me and would have been without the deduction on my card.

 

Exactly. Either way or draw. But wide for K9 with a point deduction to boot surprised me. Glad your in here though, I did the rBr and was had Ouma ahead, then the scores made me look like a dumb ass. Little bit of second opinion, which is right on par with mine (and Teddy too really) makin me feel better.

 

Ouma is SHOT!! He looks nothing like the guy that used to throw 1000 punches a fight guaranteed.:nono Perhaps the roughness of his life has worn in. Great story and admire him as a person but it certainly seems he's slid quite a bit.

Bundrage? Didnt see much improvement. This Win just catapults him into a bigger fight where he'll get spanked by a live opponent. That little cut affected him much more than it should have IMO. He's still the "one trick" pony as far as I can tell. At least he's worked hard for it but I dont think there's a high ceiling on his ability.

Wont complain about the decision but it was a useless fight:-( Neither did anything to shine and Bundrage looked more towards survival rather than being impressive:good

Mike Jones showed some heart and toughness vs his opponent but should have learned he needs more work. Ge got caught with some counter left hook's and needs to be tighter with his D after getting off. Good size on him and it would serve him to use it a bit better.

Glad to see Spaddy ringside. I just saw him 2 nights ago and he looks good has had good sparring for this fight and is fighting some guy who's fights have been mostly in Europe. I cant remember the name but I think the last name is Krystoff? Not sure on the spelling but he is supposed to have a decent record.

Got my ringsides and if anyone is near enough to the Avalon Hotel in Erie PA? On april 6th at 2 pm should be a decent card. Ringsides at $60 a pop. Supposedly Yusef Mack will be on the card as well. Looking forward to a good day:good

 

With all due respect, I just don't see how you could have Ouma winning that fight. He really didn't do anything all night. K9's roughhouse tactics, hate them as much as I do, took Ouma right out of the fight. If we're being fair to both fighters, if K9 doesn't get cut by a little Ouma head action, he wins easily. The only rounds he lost decisively were largely because he was so distracted by the cut. I'm an Ouma fan, but that performance was awful.

 

How long ago was Ouma pushed as the total package? I don't know how he fell so quickly, and no disrespect to Bundrage, but I thought this fight was easy vCash. I couldn't have been any more wrong.

 

Really? See, I was on the complete different end of the spectrum. I saw Ouma fight Taylor and then lose to Roman, and thought, this guy is done. And while K9 is nothing special, I figured he would be able to frustrate Ouma with his usual tactics. I didn't think there was any way the odds on this fight should have been what they were.

 

Too many WARS. Those wear in time and thats exactly what you saw in his performance tonight. Many tried to talk him up in his Taylor performance but while he showed heart? He took another beating.
Tonight a lesser classed guy pushed him in an UGLY fight.

 

Did the extremely talented Darnell jiles Jr fight on the card tonight?, as he was scheduled to fight today against a tough unbeaten prospect.

 

He did. They fought to a draw. It was a great fight. Both guys were solid on offense. Both also ate quite a few shots. Jiles had the better head movement. The other guy appeared to be a little stronger.

 

Thanks for the info, not too happy with the draw but it was always a risk getting in there with an unbeaten youngster, i hope Darnell learns from this because imo he's got huge potential.

 

Man, I fell asleep like four hours ago. atsch

Apparently I didn't miss a whole hell of a lot though, if this was as bad as I'm hearing. :deal

Does Kassim really look like he should hang 'em up?

 

Jiles has been sparring with Spat and is decent. He needs to be more cognizant of his D and both guy's showed spirit. I'm a tad disappointed that Jiles dint use his range more. would have been easier and netted a W instead of a Draw.

Credit his opponent who's lesser skill was supplanted by bigger heart and will.

 

He looked like a name thats very beatable at this point. He's been through too much and isnt a half of what he was.:good

 

Ouma just does not look like he really wants to fight anymore.

He was way to happy after loosing.

 

Kassim looked DONE 4 fights ago. I saw him fading and getting shot a long time ago. I dont think he has been the same since Karmazin whipped him.
