This guy is my all-time favorite fighter and it was great to see him in the ring tonight training Ouma. He had Ouma ready to go to war. I always thought Bramble would make a tremendous trainer--tons of experience and a very intelligent guy with good communication skills. I hope he has success.
Ouma beat the hell out of Martirosyan, and I was rooting for Vanes. Kassim kicked his ass. Ouma got ****ing jobbed, period.
Bramble got robbed a bunch of times himself. I honestly thought it was close, didn't score it round-by-round, but Ouma probably deserved a narrow decision, especially factoring in the knockdown.
I had Ouma up by one point. To bad the judges have no ****ing clue about the value of ring generalship or clean effective punching. As soon as I saw the name Adelaide Byrd I knew Ouma was ****ed.
Now who was the guy who was just talking about a Top Rank contender on a Top Rank main event on a Top Rank TV show:think
It may be because I had Vanes winning the right but I didn't see a robbery. I saw a close decision (what SHOULD have been a close decision) that went for the preferred target. That's boxing politics and it sucks but it is what it is. I just don't think it was a robbery. You only had Ouma up by one point, the potential deciding factor was a KD. That means that it was a really close fight that could've gone either way basically.
I scored the round with the KD 10-9. I thought Vanes actually won that round, but he still lost a point for the KD.
Its so hard for African fighters to win in the States. I can count many many more, they know its impossible unless you knock them down. Not fair at all. Those judges, surely, what about pressing the fight and even the knockdown. Break the fight down and lets see how this Vanes won the fight.
