The 154 lb division is in total disaray, after the Mosley-Wright bout the division has been up for grabs. First it looked like Ouma was the new face of the division, then he gets dominated by Karmazin and loses to Taylor and some journeyman recently. Than Tarvis Simms looks like the man destroying Rivera to reclaim a belt after a 2 year abscence, than looks tepid in a loss to Alcine. FInally Karmazin drops a close decision to Spinks, has a good comeback fight, than get ko'd by a jobber. That leaves Spinks as the best in the division (not counting Oscar as he is part time right now), folowed by 37 year old Vernon Forrest. Than there is the mystery man in the divison Dzindrik, who no one has ever seen and is like 34 years old...good grief.
Bunema has overcome some injuries, adjusted his attitude, and is serious about winning a title. If he can maintain his current frame of mind, he will be tough to beat.
