    Two skilled southpaws from Uganda who were champs at 154. Any thoughts on how this interesting match up could have gone?

    Best version of Kalule absolutely schools Ouma.
    Ouma didn't do anything anything particularly well
    and in some era's wouldn't have been ranked in
    the top ten.

    Gotta go with Kalule here.

    I fully bought into Ouma after he stopped JC Candelo. He had such fluid combination punching, and cardio for days, along with a great chin.

    But after he lost to Roman Karmazin, he faltered and started to fight with too much complacency. There were a lot of rumors that he was smoking a lot of that stanky green stuff, and honestly who can blame him. He grew up as a child soldier, so I imagine he was looking to anything that could blot out that trauma

    Another clear vote for Kalule. But, I will give Ouma's toughness the benefit of the doubt that it goes to the cards.

    Ouma would eat him up with his combination punching and his non stop attack.
