Bit of a crossroads battle this one, its set for Mayweather v Ortiz bill.
Craig coming back from his loss to Andy Lee is taking on veteran Ouma , the Ugandan put up a decent effort in his last fight against Gennady Golovkin for the WBA title. He had his moments before being ground down in a 10th round defeat.
Great to see Craig on such a worldwide bill, and he has been training at Billy Nelsons gym.
At this point i'd see Craig outworking Ouma, and maybe getting a stoppage in the later rounds.

Re: Craig McEwan v Kassim Ouma
Oumas manager came on here about a year ago screaming and shouting , this was one of te fights he asked for .
Hes got his wish at least but can he handle mcewan at this stage of his career , i actually think it will be a close fight but see mcewan shading it .

Re: Craig McEwan v Kassim Ouma
I'd be shocked if McEwan stopped Ouma who gave Golovkin plenty of early problems before he started to tire from the barage of big punches from the Russian. I see a 97-93 type victory for McEwan, he needs to be careful though as Ouma still packs a decent punch. Very good yardstick fight for the Scotsman.

Re: Craig McEwan v Kassim Ouma
Depends on how much ambition Ouma has left, i think he's coming to the end of it.
Re: Craig McEwan v Kassim Ouma
Ouma took a huge amount of punishment against Golovkin and was hospitalized after the fight because the ringside doctor thought he might have had a brain bleed. It's hard to see that being inconsequential with regard to his future performances.

Re: Craig McEwan v Kassim Ouma
Kassim Ouma has been sparring Mayweather, and the P4P champ has said they have had some good sessions together.
